Not a very interesting visit, the wait was actually a lot longer than the time spent with Barbara. She is now 54.5 lbs (3.8 stone) and is 49 1/4 inches tall. She has gained 5lbs in the past year and grown 2 inches. That puts her in the 25th to 50th %tile for both weight and height.
She didn't need any shots so Barbara decided to check her haemoglobin, iron and cholesterol. All her tests were fine with the exception of her cholesterol. It is very slightly elevated. It came back at 219. (for Andie: over here it should be under 200) Now 219 isn't particularly high but for an 8 yr old that is weird plus we eat really healthy and the doctor knows this. She decided that in 3-4 months she wants to do a fasting lipids test and see what the numbers are then. She gave us a few suggestions to try in the meantime and I have already put them in to pplay.
Other than that Lily is as healthy as a horse and very solid due to all her riding.

Keeping our fingers crossed that all the tests come back normal in a few months!
I'm sure that Lily will be just fine. As for her height & weight numbers, I'm wowed. Erin will be 54 lbs when she's 13. Maybe.
