I ended up taking Olivia to the ENT yesterday since I had off from work and she had been sick all weekend with a fever and runny nose. I knew she had an ear infection. After battling them for 3 years, you pretty much know the signs. She was supposed to go tomorrow for her follow up visit and hearing tests and to figure out what path we were going to take, but I didn't think she should wait that long. Sure enough her ears are infected, not a full blown ear infection, but soon they would be. We have decided to do the surgery b/c it does not look like she is going to grow out of this. I wanted to only do the tube surgery, but the doctor really thinks that her problem is with her adenoids and that is where her infection begins and then settles in her ears, so why prolong the inevitable. I thought we would have some time, but they scheduled the surgery for next Tuesday! I am so scared and devastated especially hearing that they just take her away from you when she is still awake and you can't really explain what is going on. I am going to be a wreck! I will keep everyone updated.
Scott's appointment went much better! He weighs a whopping 16 lbs and is 25 inches, 75th percentile for weight, 50th for height. He grew 2 inches and gained 3 pounds in 2 months (since his 2 month check up). He impressed the doctor with all of his tricks and he is right on target. He had to get 3 shots, but he did well. He was a little out of it today and not himself but not that bad said Michelle, so that is good. He goes back to the doctor in 2 months for his 6 month check up. He can start on solids now b/c of his size, so this should be fun! It's so fun having a plump baby since Olivia is such a skinny balink!
