Medical

Yesterday was a tough day because Oscar is still sick and I was upset that he cries when he has to come to us and that it is hard to get him to respond, play or smile. I was hoping for more progess by now. When we do finally get him to smile and laugh, it is the best thing. We have figured out that you have to use reverse psychology with him and approach him indirectly. He reverts when you go at him or want him to do something. Sometimes this is tough to deal with.

We're concerned about his health too. They told us that he would be fine and that he has a fever because of immunizations but we had the feeling there is more wrong with him. We're concerned that he has weak legs and arms. I requested that someone tell us about his medical history so they read us his medical record. We found out he has some medical problems but they say it's nothing severe etc. but I have to wonder.

Today he was better then yesterday. We went outside. With his legs being weak, three layers of clothes on and with his boots being too big, it was tough for him to walk. He needs exercise and a healthy diet with iron and calcium. The other kids push him over when they run by. He is the youngest of the group. He gets bruises from them too. I saw one push him with a toy and I gave that kid the eye like he better not do that again. Eventhough they look young in the picture. They are 3 and 4 year olds. Oscar has a red shirt at the table. We played with the legos and a balloon today and he liked that. Again, his smile is the cutest thing. We go back soon and we will see what happens with this next visit.
