Health Update
Jun. 7th, 2012 06:57 pmCurrently her vitamin D level is 107 (normal 50+), iron 15 (normal 5-25), calcium 2.31 (normal 2.15-2.6), and haemoglobin 127 (normal 110-145).
When she was little I thought blood tests would be easier when she was old enough to understand why she has to have them. Now I still find it hard - I take her in and she tries desperately to explain why she is actually very healthy and the doctor doesn't need to check on her, then she sighs and says she will try to be brave.
She also did the Griffiths developmental test last week. Scored fine (low problem solving skills boosted by high verbal skills) but the test itself is a grueling marathon of pain.
Ruby on the other hand is going great guns, cruising about like a pro. The physio thinks it highly likely she will walk before she is two.
I do feel that we go from one medical appointment to another, but hopefully this will end eventually.
