Three Year Old Appointment

Today was Casen's 3 year old check up with Dr. Worrall. He was such a big boy and did everything both the nurse and Dr. Worrall asked him to do. He was able to even take the vision test without problems. Go Casen!!!

His 3 year old stats are as follows:

Weight - 35 pounds, 85th percentile
Height - 39 inches, 81st percentile
Vision - 20/40 both eyes (which is passing at this age)

This time of year is difficult on Casen and his breathing. Up until now, the doctor has felt his wheezing to be due to seasonal allergies. For the past month, he has been using his Q-Var inhaler prophylactically to try to prevent him having to be on Prednisone as he has had to do the past two years. Despite using it daily, he was still wheezing today (especially with exertion) and Dr. Worrall felt that he probably does have asthma, which I had felt since last year since he has not seemed to grow out of his symptoms. Today, Dr. Worrall prescribed him a ProAir inhaler to use as needed for wheezing and said for the next few days we should use it (or his nebulizer) every 4 hours to try to get his wheezing under control. I pray that he still outgrows the asthma as time goes on.

As I have done with Camden since he turned 3, I asked Casen some questions that I will ask him each year on his birthday to see how they change.
