Can you believe that Jackson is 15 months old? I can't either. Here are his stats:
Height 31 inches 45th percentile
Weight 27 pounds 4 oz 80th percentile
Head circumference 19 inches 80th percentile
He got a shot and it made him extremely mad. I asked the doctor about the blood allergy tests that were done on him and Jarrett and they have Jarrett's results but not his. The doctor prescribed Albuterol which is used to "treat wheezing and shortness of breath from lung problems (e.g. asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)" because he has had a cough and runny nose for about 3 months now. We have a nebulizer and he has been on Triaminic and/or Delsym also. The pharmacist said it could make him cranky. Great. The patient information leaflet kind of sounds like those commercials on TV. "SIDE EFFECTS: Nervousness, shaking, headache, trouble sleeping, dizziness or nausea may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. . . . Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: fast/pounding/irregular heartbeat, chest pain, muscle cramps, weakness." It goes on but I'm getting tired of typing. I am a little worried about giving it to him. Why would I purposely give him something that will make him more cranky?
