Kyle had his WC today and here are his stats:
-Weight: 15 lbs 10.5 oz (60th percentile)
-Height: 26" (90th percentile)
-HC: 16-1/2"
Found out that he has eczema. Poor thing. We've been battling dry skin for a few months and I thought that it was just really bad winter skin. I figured I should bring it up since lotion wasn't really helping. Well, that's why. So I have to put a thick cream on him 4-6X a day until his skin gets better. I just *heart* his pediatrician. She is so great at explaining things. She told me that eczema is caused by a slight compromise in his immune system. In babies, it can come out in 3 different ways: -through the skin (eczema), -through the lungs (asthma), or -through the sinuses (seasonal allergies). She said that it's not uncommon and I shouldn't worry but to let her know if the cream isn't working. Unfortunately she also said that he'll probably grow out of the eczema and develop seasonal allergies......Sorry baby, you hit the genetic trash can because of me. (I have it too.)
He got two shots today :( He's doing great though!!
