A few days ago we took Karsyn to her follow up weight check appointment. A little while back we took her to one of her wellness visits and her weight was not even on the charts. Now she comes from a line of petite women so for her to be petite is not out of the ordinary. At 18 months old she was weighing between 19-20lbs. At that point her pediatrician decided we should run some blood tests to rule out the possibility of a thyroid problem and few others. We went and had Karsyn's blood drawn for the tests, which was such an awful experience. She cried the whole time. I remember one of the technicians asking the other if they got enough and she said, "yeah, that's enough". Well she was wrong. A week later I get a call from the doctor saying that we needed to go back to get a little more blood drawn because they were not able to complete one of the tests. Karsyn remembered the place from before, she immediately started crying as soon as we were walking back to the room. We ended up having the same lady as before. I made sure this time that they got enough. Then we waited for the results. After about a week we got the good news that everything came back normal. Her doctor seems to think that she is just going to be a tiny little girl. She gave us some tips on what to feed her to possibly get her weight up. Lots of carbs, protein, fats, etc. We have been giving her two pedisures a day. We were called back in a month later to check her weight and see if she has gained any. We just had her follow up and I am proud to say that, within a month Karsyn has gained 14oz. Her doctor was very pleased with this. She told us to keep doing what we are doing and hopefully we can get her back on track. She is officially back on the charts. We go back in another month to check her weight again and if she is still gaining then we will be good to go, if not then we will see a specialist.
