Ana had her 15-year doctor appointment today. Here are her stats from the appointment:

Height: 5′ 6″ (80th percentile)
Weight: 154 lbs (91st percentile)
BMI: 24.9 (88th percentile)
Blood Pressure: 116/78

Ana completed her paperwork about mental/physical health, drugs/alcohol, and her social/academic life, as well as the Family Account Consent Form allowing me to access her patient account records. The nurse suggested we note on the form that I have permission to her records until she turns 18. We did the math and that meant I would have access until 12/2024. 2024. Like in TWO YEARS. I’m not sure why that was so shocking but the fact that we are so close to her being 18 caught me off guard! Then the nurse called us back and she did the usual weighing and measuring. Ana was thrilled that she made it to 5′ 6″! The doctor came in and talked with her for a bit them asked me to step out of the room so they could chat alone. Ana told me later they just talked about safety, sex, and relationships. “Nothing too embarrassing, Mom!” When I was allowed back into the room, I asked about when she was eligible for her next Covid booster and the doctor said she could get one today! He let the nurse know and we were so happy to not have to deal with the craziness of trying to get a separate booster appointment! We love our pediatrician!
