We had James's last check-up with his surgeon and nutritionist this week. They were pleased with his progress! He seems to be chugging along at about the 5th percentile for both height and weight, but following a solid growth curve. We also went up to the NICU and saw Matthew's primary nurse. It was great to visit the 4th floor and even better that we don't have to be there every day.
The boys also had their 5-year checkup at the pediatrician. (Mattie is at about the 38th percentile in height/weight -- or one of those, anyhow.) Overall they're doing fine, although the doc wants to keep an eye on their blood pressure, and recommended also seeing an opthamologist at some point (not due to any specific concern about their vision; she just recommends it for former preemies). The boys had to get three vaccinations, which they did not like one bit! (We had to hold them down, and the nurse commented, "They have some fight in them!" Yep.) Mattie was fine a few minutes after they were done, but poor Jamesie was limping around until this morning -- I think they must have hit something other than muscle when they did his shot! At least they got some stickers and t-shirts, which they enjoyed.
