We had Coben's two month check-up yesterday. All the tests are in:
Spinal Tap-Negative
Cat Scan-Negative
Blood Work and UA-Inconclusive
Ultrasound of the Heart-Negative
Chest Xrays-Negative
EEG-Negative
EKG-Negative.
So, the diagnosis is: "I don't know".
Nothing really fits and everything has been ruled out. I'm hoping that we can now just end this chapter and move onto the next one...please.
We are growing another big one though. He's 90th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Cady is still in the 75th percentile for both (she was always in 75th height and 90th weight just like Coben for her first year).
Cady refused to talk to Dr. Bacon. Dr. Bacon asked plenty of questions to assess verbal ability, processing, development, etc...and Cady wasn't budging on her refusal to speak. It's always funny to see her shut-down when 99.9% of the time she never stops talking! The pains that wake her up crying many nights? Growing pains. The knock-knees not expected to cause any problems.
Last thought. I overheard this in the bathroom tonight while Cady was brushing her teeth:
Cady: Hey, that's Piglet.
Rob: Yup, that is Piglet. What does Piglet start with?
Cady: P. Piglet starts with P, just like mommy's name.
Man is she smart.

Oh, back to work already! It must be so hard! And as a former fellow acid-reflux sufferer, I can understand why he's crying! I sure hope the antacids do the trick -- fingers crossed on that one. And best wishes for your challenging day, dearie!
