On Jan. 4th Erilyn had her well check. They checked her blood pressure it was 118/70. She weighed 70.4lbs (75%) and was 55.6in (90%) they also pricked her finger to check her cholesterol. Her cholesterol levels were 110 for one (below 200 is good) and the other was 70 ( above 60 is good). The doctor also noticed a slight curve in her spine but doesn't think that it needs an x-ray quite yet. She made a note in her chart and if it doesn't improve or gets worse by her next visit she may need to get an x-ray. Everything else checked out normal the doc said looks healthy and to keep up the good work.
The doc did check for signs of puberty and there are still none but the talking about it peaked her interest. And given that a close friends daughter started her period over Christmas break and she is only 9 I figured I should talk to her about everything the word puberty means. When she has had questions about stuff before and I have always given honest, but not necessarily whole answers. She seemed to be ok with everything I was telling her and soaked it all in. I told her if she thinks of questions to talk to me about it rather then ask a friend. She asked a few more question about everything then seemed satisfied. She did say that she is happy that the doctor says she doesn't need to worry about any of that quite yet though.
