Age Health Problem

0 - 5m

 

Jordan had blocked tear duct from birth.  Eye would need to be wiped with saline everyday to clear out the gunk.  Problem cleared up by 5 months when tear ducts obviously grew.
6m Jordan got his first cold (he was teething at the same time).
6m Doctors concerned with proportional size of Jordan's head (in 92% percentile, whilst his height weight just below average) and its rapid rate of growth.  Scan was performed and all normal.  Craig has a big head and Pamela's is proportionally large too, so it is just genetics.
6m Doctor's also concerned with the shape of Jordan's head (ie flat on the back).  As there is no guarantee that nature will round up his head Jordan was fitted with a helmet.  First helmet did not fit because his head grew so much after first cast taken.  After many fine tuning visits to Orthotics, second  helmet fits well at 7.5m.
8.5m Jordan had a cold (teething at the same time).
