Stat update

So both kids have been to the doctor this week - Sam for his one year appointment and Gabby for her Kindergarten physical. Gabby weighs in at 41.8 pounds and measures 44 3/4 inches. She checked out on everything and got four shots. She's ready to start school in the fall!
Sam weighs in at 23.69 pounds and is 31 inches tall. He checked out on everything and got three shots and a blood draw for the lead test and another CBC to check him all out one more time.
His iron levels were low when he was sick so she wanted to see if they had come up and that everything else had returned to normal. Most everything has returned to normal but a few things were still a little high or low, but nothing alarming. That's ok considering a virus can stay with you for two months or more. And she suggested we keep giving him the vitamins to help with the iron, which was also a little low.
Gabby thinks she won because she got four shots and Sam only got three. She isn't counting the blood draw, however, because she hasn't had it done since she was a year old and they did the lead test on her. But everyone's doing good and growing well.
