2 year check

Locklyn had her 2 year check up this morning in Dickinson. Her pediatrician said she is perfect! She weighs 31 lbs and is almost 36 inches tall, which is close to the 90th percentile for both.

That was our first outing as a family of 5  and it felt good to finally be doing things as a whole family!

I had taken Locklyn to the doctor in Baker the beginning of December because she had been having a lot of bruising on her shins and back. We have had quite a few kids in my family with leukemia and I was just sick to my stomach waiting for the results of the blood work to come back. They came back that she was quite anemic. Everything else looked great, I did have them send her results and clinic notes to Dr O so they had record of it there and to see if she wanted to see Locklyn any sooner than her appointment we already had scheduled. Baker did labs again on her a week later and everything came back fine so Dr O said we could just review everything when we came for the scheduled appointment. She said today that there is nothing that concerns her and she thinks it is just normal two year old bruising. She said she actually thinks that the anemia was a false read and that if they would have re ran the blood it wild have came back normal because it was quite low and a week later was normal and she said it will not resolve that much in that short of time. It was reassuring having her not be concerned at all because Locklyn still bruises quite a lot.
