Jessica had a couple of hospital visits last week – the first
was at King Edward VII Hospital for her eye check-up on Monday. The team there have now decided that it is
time to try glasses to see if this helps her squint so we have a prescription
for glasses – we just need to go and get them now and then the challenge will
be getting Jessica to wear them! She
also had a dental check-up on Monday and got a sticker for being a very good
girl there.
On Tuesday, we had a check-up with the paediatrician at
Wexham Park. Jessica weighed in at 9660g
(21lb 4oz) so is staying on the 25th centile for this and height was
76.7cm which keeps her on the 2nd centile for height (so far taking
after Mummy rather than Daddy!). She
had been a little unwell in the couple of days before the appointment but her
sats were 84 when checked by the paediatrician so all seemed well. However, shortly after getting home, Jessica
went a bit blue and when her sats were re-checked they had dropped to 65 so we
went back in again. Her sats did pick up
again back into the 80s (still not quite sure what caused the drop) and we were
back home after a few hours on the paediatric assessment unit with a diagnosis
of a viral ear and throat infection.
Thankfully a couple of days of regular doses of Calpol and lots of
snuggles seemed to do the trick and Jessica seems much better again this week.
Having helped Grandma celebrate her birthday a few weeks
ago, it was Nanny’s turn for birthday celebrations at the weekend and Jessica
enjoyed seeing her aunties and uncles and having lots of cuddles with them all.
