First Shots

Madelyn had a check-up appointment for her ears today and according to the doctor they were all clear. That surprised me after seeing all the junk coming out Saturday. Since those were clear and her chest was clear, she got checked all over again and the doctor cleared her for her first shots in America. She got four shots - 2 of those combined into one - plus a tb skin test. She does NOT like shots.....she cried at the rubbing of alcohol before the needle came close to her. The doctor was also concerned about her not putting much weight on her legs and not interested in crawling or cruising at 11 months old so she ordered a hip x-ray. I just got the call and was told her hips were fine and not dislocated. The dr said she saw nothing else to think there was anything else wrong with her and she was a healthy baby. We were concerned her sweaty head and other symptons might indicate rickets but she doesn't have this and the dr. said sometimes sweaty heads indicate cystic fibrosis but she didn't have that either. She was also approved to have her hearing test rescheduled since her ear drums looked fine. I'm waiting on a callback for this.

I told Madelyn today she was doing at good job at meeting our insurance deductible for the year. She laughed and thought that was funny.
