Ricky Needs a Physical I Think

[Janet]

Monday I'm going to make an appointment for Ricky to get a complete physical. That way he'll have one before school starts and won't have to miss any school.

Today he complained about being lightheaded and dizzy. It's not the first time he's complained about it, but it also hasn't been often. I just think we need to have him completely checked out, blood work and all, just to be on the safe side. The boy is so skinny, but eats everytime ya turn around.

I just hope we can get him in soon....like this week or next at least.

I know what you mean about the skinny part Janet. Bobby is 6'4" and ways about 130.

Is he just growing right now? Well I sure hope he checks out fine. You'll be at peace of mind when you get the thumbs up from the doc.

He gets a physical for sports, but those physicals really are not in depth. So I'll get him one scheduled and make sure this boy of mine is healthy!

He thought it was just the heat, but he wasn't in the heat but for a few minutes. AND he has had this happen before and it wasn't hot, so I just think he needs checked out thoroughly.

Good idea Janet.

Hope you get him in soon and everything is ok...

Maybe it's sinuses...that can cause the dizziness and lightheadedness. Skinny is not a problem for my son! He is 6 'and weighs 230 pounds! He is just a big ole boy! And eat? I've never seen anyone consume food like he does. He eats 2 sandwiches while he's waiting for dinner! Then he scarfs down dinner. Two hours later he's hungry again! He was always a skinny little boy, but since about 8th grade he has just been a bull!


Here is my "baby boy" Kevin,,he is 17 ( he never smiles for pics, I tell him he looks like a thug!)

When you take Ricky to the doctor make sure that you bring up that he's dizzy. Does he drink enough water? I know that Jaci has trouble with headaches and getting dizzy if she's not been drinking enough. They just get so busy with other things that they don't think about drinking water and it's almost impossible while they're in school to get enough.

Thanks for the reminder too.....I've got to get Jaci's physical scheduled too and a tetnus update too. I'm not ready for school to start! I haven't hardly seen her this summer, between work and Nate she's been busy!!!
