Tyler & Megan's Annual Check-ups

Tyler and Megan had their annual check-ups at the doctors office yesterday.  I got an early appointment so that Tyler wouldn't miss too much school.
They both got their eyes checked (Megan didn't do too good, I may need to take her in to see an eye doctor - maybe we can wait until August and see Uncle Nate while we are in Bend?).
They also got weighed, measured for height, and got their blood pressure taken. They both did these things very well.
Here are Tyler's stats:
Height: 53 3/4 inches (35%)
Weight: 86 1/2 pounds (83%)
I talked to Dr. Eyre about Tyler coughing more this past year and that he hasn't been able to run for very long before it starts to hurt him.  So she ordered us an inhaler to see if he has activity induced asthma.  Besides that he is looking good.  It was time for him to get a tetanus shot.  It had been over five years and she highly recommended it.  So poor Tyler started crying and ended up with a shot.  He did pretty good taking it and calmed himself down pretty quickly.   I felt really bad because I said neither of them would need shots.  My bad.
Here are Megan's stats:
Height: 42 3/8 inches (50%)
Weight: 45 pounds (80%)
She is looking really good as well.  Dr. Eyre didn't understand her very well when she talked and recommended speech therapy for her.  This is the first time anyone has said anything about her speech.  I kind of wondered if she needed help last year, but no one ever said anything so I figured it was normal for her age.  I guess I was wrong.  We will see about getting her help.
We did talk about her warts on her hands and got a prescription for the medicine that Josh took to get rid of his warts.  It is a long process, but it worked really good for Josh and he hasn't had any since.  Beside those things, Megan is looking great.  We are so lucky to have such great kids.  We sure love these silly kiddos!
