Update on the ears!



I had my college girls over to the house on Sunday for dinner. Angel brought Wyatt and Kristen brought Caleigh, and Anna brought her beautiful self and some great Mexican rice! The kids were having a good time playing until Aly got to close to Wyatt's milk. He was not happy!




This is Aly and Caleigh. Caleigh is 6 months old! and makes Aly look huge!!!


The gum ball machine was the toy of the night!!!! It even lead to a little hair pulling! Just kidding they were just having fun!!



Update: Well after a horribly long night last night I decided to take Aly to the dr. this morning in stead of waiting till Thursday (she was suppose to go for a 10 day follow up on Thursday). She was asleep for about 2 hours last night before she started screaming. We tried to let her just cry and when that didn't work, JV tried rocking with her and when that didn't work, I went and laid on the couch with her. She slept for about an hour and as usual, I just laid there. I went to put her down in her crib and she woke up screaming. So I put her in the bed with JV and I about 2:30am and she finally went to sleep! She tossed and turned a lot which meant not much sleep for any of us, but at least she wasn't screaming. She did have a 100.3 fever this morning so I gave her some motrin and at the dr. it was down to 98.0!

I saw a new dr. today and she told me that her ears actually looked pretty good. They were healing. I talked to her about tubes to see what she thought and she informed me that she just had them put in her sons ears a month ago and there charts looked a lot a like. She said we could just wait and see what happens or go ahead and go to the ENT. I asked her about the procedure since she just did it and she told me that they do put them under anesthesia which freaks me out, so I don't want to do it if we don't have to, but if the ENT feels like it will help then we will!

She does have a little cold right now which could lead to another ear infection but hopefully since she still has 3 days left of the antibiotic it will keep that from happening.

I found a ENT that Kaiser works with in snellville, in the same building as Snell. peds. and I have an appt. for her on March 31st. She said that because its spring time that they may opt not to do the tubes and see what the better weather brings, but they may see something that they believe warrants the tubes so we will see!!
