Wyatt's two week doctor appointment update

At two and a half weeks Wyatt got in for THREE doctors appointments in one day. The first was an ultrasound on his kidneys. He did well, just some squirming. Funny thing about this appointment is they instructed me that they required him to show up with a full bladder. Ummm... I'm not sure how to accomplish that..."Wyatt. I demand that you don't pee."? So we went anyways and were forgiven for not having control over a newborn's bladder.

The radiologist said that his kidneys looked good, with no extra fluid on either kidney. (yeah!)

His next appointment was his two week well child visit. After leaving the hospital at 8 pounds 8 ounces, he was a whopping 9 pounds 15.4 ounces. He gained .25 inches in length and his head got bigger too! He's a healthy boy! (good job growing and eating like crazy Wyatt!!!). It wad a bit too early to talk about his dry skin issue and we'll talk about that at his two month check up. We started with a new pediatrician at the Fairvriew Maple Grove Clinic which we ended up liking. We saw her partner when we were in the hospital, and while she was fine, was lacking a personality. When we called for our appointment, and that doctor was on vacation, I decided to throw caution to the wind and set up the appointment without knowing anything about this other doctor. We ended up liking her and will be going back. She said we were doing a good job and was patient, thorough and nice to Chloe...works for us!

His last appointment was with the pediatric urologist. She reviewed the ultrasound (and so did a med student who looked like he was 12! I felt old.) and said that Wyatt's Hydroneohrosis is still there but a level 1( from 0 to 5, 0 being less severe). We just need to keep an eye out for a high fever as a sign of an infection. A follow up in the next year was recommended. We'll be back before the end of the year, since we've already met our deductible (sorry to other's on the HDHP that I'm adding to the cost of coverage!). The thought is that Wyatt may out grow this issue - here's hoping!
