I Love Her!

I was getting ready to Addy to the doctor this morning. She had some tummy issues over the weekend so I thought we better go on in. This is what she did while I got ready:




Little stinker! I guess she didn't like the hair accessories I had already put in her hair, she managed to dump quite a few out onto the floor!

We got to see Addy's new pediatrician today. Her pediatrician retired at the end of June :( I loved him, he saved her! Remember the whole starving issues???? Anyway, I am very pleased that I really like his replacement! She has a lot of experience with critical care so that's always a plus!!! I just took a stool sample with me this morning so she sent that off to the lab. I'll hear tomorrow if there's anything brewing. It's probably just a virus but with Addy's significant history of C-Diff we never risk it! Since she has had so many diapers over the weekend her bottom is pretty raw. Usually docs just tell me the usual: don't use baby wipes (we don't), keep a barrier on her (we do) and change her frequently (we do that too). But today, Dr. Roe prescribed what she calls "Butt Magic" :) it's Nystatin powder, zinc oxide and hydrocortisone. Cool! At least I thought so till I picked it up, $22 and insurance wont' cover it! I think I could have mixed it up for far less than that! Hopefully it will help. If it doesn't she wants the mix made with stoma powder instead. We have stoma powder on hand so we may make up our own!

Looking forward to a quiet week, it's unbelieveably hot and Addy is miserable the second we go outside :( Hoping she improves by Friday, her birth parents are coming for a visit and we have a pool party for a special someone :)

I just found your blog. I love it! Your little girl is so sweet, and "knows what she wants." lol We had to use a syringe with Emmy (non-ds) my 2 yr old because she flat refused to eat baby food, and would only eat super chunky food she would choke on (she didn't get teeth till she was a year). The syringe worked MIRACLES! Good luck!
