Justus is doing really well! He's in the ~70th percentile for most of his measurements:
Head circumference: 49cm (71st %tile)
Weight: 28lbs 5oz (69th %tile)
Height: 34in (71st %tile)
I told the Dr. about Justus' recent brush with what a Nurse practitioner down in Chico diagnosed as bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) but mentioned that his eyes were white the entire time.
I also mentioned that he frequently has bouts with goopy eyes to varying degrees, seeming ear infections with no signs of pain and wheezing in his chest.
I told Dr. Logan that I thought he might have an allergy of some type. Dr. Logan agreed and ordered a round of allergic blood tests. He mentioned that skin allergy tests usually can't be adminstered to children until ~5 for obvious reasons.
I took Justus to the hospital and had to hold him down while he screamed in protest to being given an ouchie on purpose. Afterwards, after getting a toy from one of the nurses, Justus seemed to recover back to his happy self but showed signs of the grogginess of having blood drawn.
We'll get the results back in about a week. Dr. Logan mentioned the ENT as the next step if no allergens are found.
