WHAT A DAY!!!

Addyson went to see Dr. Amy today for her 15 mth checkup. It didn't go as well as I was hoping. As soon as Dr. Amy walked in the door, Addyson burst into tears. Dr. Amy did her checkup thing and then it came time for the ears. Addyson produces A LOT of ear wax so Dr. Amy usually has to dig some out before she can see in there. Well, she did that but it wasn't good enough. Addyson had to have her ears cleaned out with the water machine. She has only had to have it done one other time. Of course she is just pitching a fit by this time. So finally Dr. Amy could see in her ear and it is STILL infected!!!!! Our next step is TUBES!!!! We go Jan. 25 for an appointment with the ENT Dr. I am VERY nervous so please pray for Addyson and me!! Also, Dr. Amy wanted Addyson to have some blood drawn to check for anemia and to check her billirubin(sp) levels. EVERYONE that sees Addyson always says she looks jaundice. She has been that way since birth so I haven't really worried about it. Dr. Amy just thinks it is the orange food she is eating. Please pray for that as well. As we are leaving Addyson's ear begins to bleed!!!! It was from the wax coming off her ear. (Gross I know) So off to the Lab we go. She FINALLY calms down and is looking at the fish when our name is called. We go trotting back and I sit her in my lap and she IMMEDIATELY starts throwing a fit. She knows something else is about to happen. They pricked her finger and had to squeeze enough blood to fill two containers. I just feel so sorry for her. HASN'T SHE BEEN POKED AND PRODDED ENOUGH!!! ( Ok, that was my complaining for today.) I just hate it for her, but we need to know what is going on!! Now the good news. She weighs 18.8lbs (up from 17lbs at her 12mth visit) and is 29 1/4 inches long(up from 28 in at her 12 mth visit) They didn't give me the paper with the % on it. I didn't think about it either. Oh well, I do know that she hasn't hit the line on her weight!! She is tiny!!! Addyson's new things are walking EVERYWHERE, saying Elmo, pointing to eyes and saying "eye",and eating more solid foods(with only 2 teeth we have to be careful, but she sure can gum A LOT of things). She is always so happy and loves to cuddle. I can't believe she is 15 mths already!! Time sure does fly by!!!!!
