Snot Factory

Addie's runny nose started on the way to Pheonix for Thanksgiving...
Can you tell in this picture that there is snot running down her face? Well there is.

On Thanksgiving day she woke up from a nap with a high fever and MISERABLE.We ended up cutting our trip short because she was a mess and headed home early.

Well, yesterday I took her to the doctor (our home away from home) because she was on day 5 of the fever. Turns out she has a DOUBLE ear infection (this is the third round of ear infections for her). Good grief! The good news is that ear infections are treatable.

The less-than-good news is that she has lost weight again. Some of you know that we have been keeping an eye on her weight for over a month now. She seemed to plateau and the doctor wanted us to keep an eye on it. First she lost almost a pound in one week, then after three weeks she had gained it back, and now she lost it again. Crazy kid. At this point we're not worrying about it, just watching carefully. That means Niki & Addie make a weekly pilgrimage to the doctor's office and weigh her. The whole trip usually takes about 2 hours. It's a good thing we like our pediatrician's office SOOO much! Posted by Picasa
