Princess Madelyn Update

Madelyn had another well visit today and is now caught up with all shots until she's four. Our pediatrician is referring us to an ENT for possible tubes and adenoids removed. She hasn't had any ear infections but keeps fluid in her ears and the runny nose will not clear up with any allergy meds or change of diet so we're hoping an ENT can shed some light for us so we can possibly get rid of this snot we deal with every day and have bee for the past 11 months. Also, the pediatrician wants the ENT to examine her mouth b/c of her tongue problems. After we see the ENT and do what he recommend then we need to take her to a pediatric dentist. They may also be able to help us with her tongue problem and the ped wants a consult on her jaw structure. Her mouth may not be big enough and may need spacers for her teeth (this is how I understood it but sounds weird to me). She had four shots today, TB test, and had blood drawn. Poor baby cried and poured the tears when she saw the nurse walk in the room with the needles and had not cried a tear before that. Then we went to the lab for the blood draw and she started crying before they laid her down on the bed. It was pitiful but she laid so still and was so good taking all those needles.
