I just returned from a doctor visit with Justice. His third in the last three months concerning his ears. All three times there were no infections. He is complaining about pain in his ear, more and more frequently, and recently has claimed to not be able to hear out of one ear. The doctor is sending us to a specialist to find out if he is having trouble pressurizing his ears, and if tubes might be needed to help correct the problem. Poor kid. We have been using tylenol for the pain, and homeopathic ear drops for a while. The problem comes and goes. So I will keep you updated on that situation.
Sierra is still not better. She has been sick and lethargic for two weeks now, doctors orders to not dance have been obeyed. But she did go back to school this week so that she would not get so far behind. Test were performed to see if she has mono. Apparently, they came back negative, but there were some abnormalities in her blood cells. Something about them being too large?? So they will test her again in a few days to see if it was a false negative on the mono test. Ugh! These kids!!! Where is my wand to use my mommy magic on them? I so wish I could do something to help them.
Montana is very healthy. However, we have decided to take her to the dermotologist as she has started to break out with acne pretty heavily around her hairline. Her dad had pretty bad acne as a teen and we want to avoid that if we can. She's only 11-- I hate to be the kind of mom that just runs to the doctor for every little problem. But, it's available, we can do it, and we should.
So it's more doctor visits in our future...
That saying "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away"?? Total nonsense. We go through them like crazy!
