Morgan also went to the Doctor for the first time in a long time. He measured in the 55% for height, and what surprised me greatly was that he was in the 64% for weight. That kid is super skinny, some might even say scrawny. His ribs stick out. Where is all this weight of his? My guess is his head. :)
We talked to the doctor about a possible nut allergy. Morgan had an incidence with cashews earlier this year that made me suspect an allergy. So the doctor suggested we draw some blood to get it tested for food allergies. Morgan was excited to prove his bravery. He had a great attitude about the whole thing.
See how happy he is getting ready for it?
Since he's a kid, they double teamed him. One nurse to poke, the other to hold him still. I held his unoccupied hand and was there so he could look at me. He wasn't allowed to look at his arm. I think he was surprised about the pain though. He never cried, maybe only because he was determined to be tough, but he did talk about how much it hurts. To make things worse, his blood was running very slowly, so it took it's time. We tried asking him about his birthday, what he planned for Halloween, etc. His answers were short and to the point, which is abnormal for him. At one point the nurse asked him to tell her about something, and Morgan just flat out said no, then whined a bit about it hurting. But it was over eventually, and Morgan thought the green bandage was pretty cool. He expected the sucker, and when a sticker wasn't forthcoming, he asked about it, since he thought it was his due. He got a SpiderMan sticker.
We should know the results of the allergy test at the beginning of next week.
