5 year check up

Marcus had his 5 year check up a little over a week ago. Here are his stats-
Height- 42 1/2'' 25th percentile
Weight- 43lbs- 75th percentile

He ended up getting a flu shot and also a tb test. It was sad this time with his shots because he knew what to expect. He was so sad and fighting back the tears!!!! When the nurse walked in, he lost it.... I think my ears are still ringing from his screams!!!
While the dr was listening to his heart, he noticed he had some irregular heart beats- he said not to worry but he did want Marcus to get an EKG and see a cardiologist. He had the EKG and saw the dr yesterday. The EKG did pick up the irregular beats but the dr said they are coming from his upper chamber and those are usually ones that we don't need to worry about. He said as long as Marcus doesnt complain that his heart is racing too fast(I would like to hear a 4 yr old comprehend and complain about that :)) and can keep up with kids his age, we have nothing to worry about!! Here's a picture right after they hooked him up
