This morning Emily had her one year check up. We postponed it from last month because the flu was going around and our pediatrician wanted to keep emily away from all the germs in the office.
Emily is growing like a little weed. She is 29.5" tall (75%) and a little over 19 pounds (25%) which suprised us we thought she weighed less. So she is a tall skinny kid which she has been all along.
Last week she started coughing again and her eyes were getting goopy, so it was a good thing we had our appointment this morning. Our pediatrician said both her ears are infected, which is crazy because she showed no symptoms of it! In addition both eyes are once again infected, and she has a chest infection. So we were sent home with prescriptions for 2 antibiotics, she is back on the nebulizer, a referral for a pediatric eye doctor and an appointment to go back in 2 weeks. We decided to postpone her shots for a bit until she feels better, no need to make her more miserable than she already is!
I called the eye doctor to make an appointment this morning and luckily they were able to schedule her for the same day as her follow up appointment! So we only have to make one trip down there which will be nice! That's one nice advantage of being in a small town, we can get into the pediatrician or specialist right away with out having to wait!
So off I go back to cuddling with my lil monster. Its almost time for more tylenol and perhaps another nebulizer treatment.
