15 Month Check-up

Addy had her 15 month check-up yesterday. She did not have a good time! She got 3 shots and blood taken. :( The doctor said her iron levels have not come up at all despite vitamins and yogurt with iron added, so we now have to add iron drops in addition to these things. They smell and taste horrible, so that is going to be a challenge. Everything else went fine though. Addy is still very petite, but is developing right on track. Here are her stats:

Length - 28 1/2 inches (5th percentile)
Weight - 18.5 lbs (below 5th percentile)

Hope you like the photos. Addy is not a fan of the Dumbo costume my friend Bonnie let me borrow....I guess she will not be Dumbo for Halloween!

Ear Tube Adventure

Today Addy got her ear tubes, and it has been quite a day! The day started at 3 am when she woke up wanting milk. She could not have anything to eat or drink after midnight, so it took me about an hour to get her back to bed with no milk. We headed to the surgery center at 6 am. She did great there. She went back to the OR around 7:30, and was done in no time. We were on the road back home by 8:15 am. Then the craziness began. She projectile vomited 7 times on the way home. I had to keep pulling over to make sure she was alright. She was really crazy when we got home. I guess the anesthesia did not agree with her at all. It took about a half hour to calm her down. I also had to strip her and wash her whole car seat! Once she was calm, I put her in the tub to wash the puke off. She decided it would be a good time to poop! I was very stressed by this point because I was trying to help her and sanitize everything in the bathroom. The doctors said she would sleep for 2-3 hours, but in true Addy form, she only slept for 20 minutes! I can't wait for bed tonight! She is doing much better now, and is almost back to her normal self. I hope no more surgeries are in her future!
