6th Month Doctor Update

We had Jacob's 6th month appointment last Tuesday...

Weight- 16lbs 10 oz (50th percentile)
Height- 26.4 inches (50th percentile)
Head- 17 3/4 inches (~80th percentile)

Jacob was right on target for all of the 6th month milestones.

Jacob had been having green eye goop again in his left eye (we had been treating at home with the meds we got last time) so we had the doctor check that out too. She thought it looked ok and was just his sinus draining from his eye (YUCK) and had us stop the meds. The next morning I left to go out of town and it got worse over the next few days and now BOTH eyes were oozing green. The doctor had told us to give it 2 weeks from when it started. I got home late on Friday night and after checking him out on Saturday we took him to urgent care. He had also developed a slight fever and cough. Urgent care doctor diagnosed him with Bacterial Conjunctivitis so we started the drops on Saturday night. While his eyes are looking better they are still oozing green. He was still running a slight fever today and very crabby (I seem to have gotten sick with whatever he has too)!

It's been a long week and weekend and I'm ready for my healthy baby back!

Wow, I can't believe how fast it's going. Keep an eye on his eye (ha ha). Riley has the same problem from time to time and it turns out that his tear ducts are clogged and he may have to have surgery to fix them.
