Cole's 3 year check-up

We recently changed pediatricians and couldn't be happier. Cole did amazingly well at his 3 year check-up allowing the doctor to ask questions, look in his ears, eyes, nose and throat as well as taking deep breaths for him. To my surprise Cole left the visit with an antibiotic, a nebulizer for breathing treatments, singulair and a referral to the ENT for his tonsils and adenoids. My poor child has been congested for a few weeks but I would have never believed he needed all of this. Since a baby, Cole would throw up anytime he was sick and still continues to do so - large tonsils. He snores terribly at night - enlarged adenoids, has a hard time breathing while eating resulting in eating so slowly. He was in his regular 2-3% for weight weighing 25.4 pounds and was in the 25th percentile for height measuring 3 feet exactly. We will see the ENT on the 28th and then go back to the pediatrician on the 8th of February. I can't wait to see what all we find out about Owen at his 18 month check-up.
