A Month of Doctor Appointments

We have gone to a TON of appointments in the last 4 weeks.  Eric took Kaitlyn to the dentist twice.  They are taking it slow and letting her get comfortable.  The dentist has peaked in her mouth and mentioned it looked like she grinded her teeth and that she had reflux.  Huh?

Eric took Hailey to the ENT for a checkup just to make sure the tubes are still in place and looking good.  All was well - too bad no pictures.  2 days later I took Hailey to the pulmonologist.  I told him that I felt like she was never 100% healthy.  Considering all of the preventative medicine she is on, that didn't make him happy.  He would like to see her better. So he ordered all sorts of blood tests to test for allergies, immune deficiencies, etc. We are still waiting on those results.

She really enjoyed these toys in the pulmonologist's office.  She impressed me with her ability to put some of the pieces together.

The day after that appointment, Hailey started running a high fever.  I took her to urgent care and they diagnosed her with strep!  Man, poor kiddo.  Most kids don't get it that young.  A few days on the antibiotics and yet she was still running a low grade fever.  So back to the pediatrician we went.  

That appointment had more bad news - MONO?? Have you ever heard of an 18 month old getting mono? Yeah, me neither.  So steroids and more antibiotics.  But finally today she was well enough to go for her 18 month well visit.

She is 35 percentile in both height and weight.  The doctor wants us to go back to the cardiologist.  Her heart murmur from birth is still there - she thought it would have closed up by now so thinks we should go back just to get it checked out.  More doctors!!  Good thing we have met our deductible already this year!
