On Track

Chloe had her 18 month appointment on Friday (even though she's really 19 months). She is doing really well. She weighs 25.5 lbs and is 31.75 inches long.  For an 18 month old that puts her in the 60% and 48% percentile, respectively. She hasn't really grown since her 15 month appointment which is fine. I know 24 month pants on her are long.  When she was in the hospital in February, the doctors said she needs to get the RSV vaccine this coming RSV season.  Her doctor looked into how much to give and the cost and she told me Chloe will need 2 doses because of her weight for the whole season which is 5 months.  Each dose cost between $1500 and $2000 (funny there's a $500 swing in there)!!  What! Potentially $20,000 for the season!  She wanted me to call the health insurance to make sure it's covered.  I called today and the deductible has been met this year so it's covered fully this year and then in January we'll have to pay the deductible first which is no where near $20,000.  Thank goodness.

That's all I have time for right now.
