Still infected


I took Addysen to her new pediatrician this morning. I think I'm really going to like him! Yeah! Her right ear is still infected and her left one has fluid and is pink so it was on its way. He put her on Omnicef so hopefully it will kick it. I should have known that the Amoxicillan wasn't going to do anything, it never did with my other kids. Oh well, she is obviously not complaining! She weighed in at a whopping 18lbs. 10 oz. today, which is down from 19 something, I can't remember. We talked about her weight dropping and he said that he doesn't want to change anything until he can go over all of her records from St. Johns. I am fine with that, it just means waiting a little bit. He wants the records ASAP so he can know more about Addy. He took a glance at the running record I keep of her and thought that he just might need to go over all of "stuff" with a fine tooth comb! He is ordering a thyroid test and may also begin the process to test for Celiac. I'm pretty positive her former pediatrician didn't test those two things at all. So I will be hot on the phone tomorrow with her former pediatrician, opthamologist and ENT and current cardiologist, surgeon and pulmonologist to get him all of her records. He's going to have a ton of homework!

Scott is in Kentucky picking up his mom for a visit. They will come home tomorrow then he will have to drive all the way there and back on Sunday, yuck! So I better get moving, the house is a pit and I have zero motivation, I just started my vacation!
