Last week was a rough one... I ended up with 5 days of the
stomach flu, and everyone else in the house got a touch of it throughout the
week. I have learned the magical powers
of baking soda. I have also given up on the not-so-magical powers of the flu shot, since I seem to get the flu every year regardless.
Pajamas all day |
Maggie had a couple doctor appointments last week. On Monday she went to see the orthopedist for
her regular foot check-up. Her feet look
good, but the doctor found that she now has hip dysplasia and there’s a good chance
that she will need surgery. He wants to
watch it for a year, and then decide what to do. We’re both pretty concerned about this –
surgery is obviously a scary thing to put your kid through, and I’m worried she
will always have hip issues, arthritis, etc. as she ages.
So maybe you can say some prayers for our little girl?
It's all good, sis |
Maggie also went in for her 3-year checkup at the
pediatrician, and was a very good patient.
She weighs 37.5 lb and is 38” tall.
The doctor said we should be extra careful with her weight as she gets
older, because extra weight will obviously make hip issues worse.
Evie is a champ in her little helmet. She hardly sweats anymore, and only gets
annoyed when I have to put it back on after a break. She was so cute last night – I was holding
her on my lap after bath time with her helmet off, just goofing around. She kept on leaning forward to rub her head on me, nuzzling obsessively just like a
bear. Now I make sure to rub her head
all over when the helmet comes off, and give her lots of kisses all over the
forehead – she loves it!

This is a picture of Evie sleeping. It is really creepy - she often sleeps with her eyes partly open:
