We visited Dr. Matsumoto today for the girls' six year well check. They are doing well but a few things came up during this visit that we need to keep an eye on. First thing was Ryan's eating habits after she had a choking incident in Pinetop. Her weight has dropped a bit and she told the Dr. that she's scared to swallow her food. The Dr. gave us the names of some workbooks that we can do together to overcome the fear and she said if the issue doesn't seem to resolve itself by the first of the year then we can look into food therapy. This is the first time that the girls have been pounds apart in weight. It's usually just a few ounce but this visit Reese weighed 46.6 lbs and Ryan was 42.8 lbs.
They also got their eyes checked and the Dr. referred us to another eye doctor to get a 2nd opinion. We visited the eye doctor and each of them has one eye that's weaker than the other. Ryan has a bit of astigmatism and Reese has some nearsightedness. It's currently not enough to get glasses but we have to keep an eye on it. He said it could either improve or get worse in the next year but we'll know in the next year or two if they'll need glasses.
Here are their stats from the visit with Dr. Matsumoto:
Reese 46.6 50%tile
45 1/2" 50%
BMI 15.6 25%
PB 86/50
Ryan 42.8 25%
45 1/4" 50%
BMI 14.5 10%
BP 90/44
