Pediatrician Follow-Up

We just got home from the doctor.  Let me just start by saying I was not thrilled when the only appointment time they had for us was 1:45 - right smack dab in the middle of his nap.  He through a major tantrum because I wouldn't let him stand on the bench to look touch the picture while we were waiting for the doctor.  I finally had to tell him to look at the hair on the floor, and to notice that it wasn't ours, to get up him off the dirty floor! Luckily he calmed down before the dr. came entered.

The doctor believes that most likely it was just a fainting spell.  Perhaps a case of getting up too fast in the morning and he was light headed and passed out.  (Something I can relate to!)  Elizabeth had gone in and woken him up and I did carry him down the stairs.  He had only been standing a few moments before it happened.  They didn't run an EKG at the ER so he put in orders for that.  There is a lab in the same building so we were able to just walk right on over and get it done.  Thank goodness it wasn't busy, because we were really pushing it with not having a nap yet.  They had to put 12 leads on him and then he had to lay still for 10 seconds.  Only 10 seconds.  "It's not that long" the nurse said.  FYI 10 seconds for a 2 year old is a long time!!!  It took a few tries but she finally got a good read, or at least good enough!  We picked out our stickers and were on our way.  Of course the whole time Elizabeth is whispering in my ear "Can I get a sticker too?"  Yes everyone gets a sticker!  Then we had to peel 12 of them off Grant - not fun.  We won't have results until next week.

Doesn't he look thrilled?!
