Watching movies to pass the time.
Ivan had his 3 year check-up with the endocrinologist on Wednesday.
In the past 4 months he has grown 1 inch and gained 3 pounds!
That puts his percentiles at 14%tile for height and 29%tile for weight.
This is how he spent his morning:
1. weighed and measured
2. blood pressure
3. blood draw
4. drink the glucose juice that he despises!
5. while waiting 2 hours for the next blood draw...
*walked around the hospital
*watched movies
*finished his physical
*radiology for bone age xrays
6. 2nd blood draw for endocrine and another for genetics
Because Ivan has to be fasting the whole morning, we celebrated his bravery by (drum roll please...) going to Red Robin! I know that surprises all of you!
Proud, proud, proud of our sweet bear. He is starting to realize the pain and anxiety of the hospital won't last forever. He kept telling us how brave he was and that he didn't even cry when they poked him!
Ivan has one more year of the study. Keep growing big Ivan.
