Annie took Raphael to our GP today to arrange:
- five doctor referrals for our Sydney trip,
- completing a clearance to fly form that the airline requires,
- eighteen month old vaccination, and
- the "blue book" eighteen month check.
For international readers, and people without children, the "blue book" is a small blue folder that is issued to every baby at birth which contains some very basic baby parenting information and a place for medical history for the baby. There are recommended check-up dates for the children and a list of things to check off, to confirm that your baby is developing at a reasonable rate. The idea being that if there are any areas of concern, they would be highlighted by the checks in this book. Our GP didn't think that it was necessary for this check because everything that was in there has already been identified as being a problem and is being managed in detail.
