Ethan’s 6 year check-up

Well Ethan had his 6 year check-up today. When I said that it was time to leave he ran and hid. 🙁 He weighed in at 38.6 pounds wich is like 3 pounds less than he weighed when he went in about 3 weeks ago for the strep throat (but that time he was wearing his jacket and shoes and this time he wasn’t). I am really concerned for Ethan, being 6 years old and only 38 pounds. Last year at his 5 year check up he weighed 36 pounds so over the year he has only gained 2.6 pounds, which just isn’t a lot. He is now 44 inches tall so he gained 2 1/2 inches of height over the year. We also had the doctor check out his throat since he was complaining that it was hurting again. And he has a strep throat relapse, so the doctor prescribed a different antibiotic this time so that it would be more effective.
