Doctor, doctor give me the news...

Wow, have we been to the doctor's office a lot lately. On the 14th Mackenzie had her check-up and hearing test after having tubes put in her ears a month earlier. All is well with her ears. She still has a 30-60% hearing loss in her right ear. Even with the hearing loss she is doing well in Kindergarten. The doctor wants to us to get her a hearing aid, but we opted to wait and see how she continues to do in school.

On the 18th Lexi had her 1 year check-up. She is getting so big. Lexi now weighs 18 pounds and is 29 inches long. She is perfectly healthy and growing like she should. Lexi may be petite but it fits her giggly personality just perfect.

The next night (the 19th) I took Kennedy into Urgent Care because she was complaining of bad ear pain. You guessed it, she had an ear infection. She is feeling much better now.

Two night ago I took Lexi and myself into Urgent Care as well. I had a sore throat for 2 days and was really tired and achy all over. Lexi had spiked a fever of 101.8 that afternoon so I feared she was getting a sore throat too. Come to find out I have strep throat and Lexi has a double ear infection. After a few days of antibiotics the girls in the house are all feeling better.

The house is in shambles and needs a good cleaning. But my energy level is slowly returning to normal so I will get the house back in order this weekend.

Halloween is on Sunday and the girls are excited to go trick or treating and to the church party. So we all need to be in good health.

Until next time~ Anita
