Today we spent our time going visiting different doctors, getting Alyssa ready for school. We started with her pediatrician, Dr. Chaikin. Alyssa is WAAAYYYY off the charts for her age in height - age 10 yrs. 8 months and 5 ft. 3 in. Her little "mark" on the chart was floating a few inches above the curve. For her height, her weight is perfect. As a matter of fact, she is the exact same height and weight as her grandma, "Bachi"! She's come a long way for a baby who came home weighing less than five pounds and only 18 inches long!
Alyssa bravely received two immunizations, one for hepatitis A and the other for chickenpox. That was a sight ( I didn't take any pics!)
Dr. Chaikin did a complete physical on Alyssa and noticed that her spine was uneven. She ordered x-rays for a scoliosis screening. We went directly to Open Imaging of Longview and had three x-rays made.
Right after that we went to Kilgore to see Dr. J.T. Roberts for our annual eye exams. Good news there, Alyssa has 20/20 vision, so no glasses this year!
We weren't expecting to have any problems, but we know God is in control. We did praise the Lord for having good doctors and having health insurance with Dad's company.
