Makenna has been through a lot lately. I took her to the doctor yesterday for an allergy test that involved taking blood from a vein in her arm (very sad!) and found out that she has yet ANOTHER ear infection. This is the 5th ear infection she has had since Thanksgiving! Luckily the doctor prescribed an oral antibiotic this time, instead of the 3 shots she had to have last time (very, very ouch!). She will see an ENT specialist at the end of this month to find out if she will need to have tubes placed in her ears. At this point I am willing to do whatever will make her better. I keep putting off sleep training (yep, still up twice a night on average) and weaning until her ears are clear. Makenna and I are on a dairy-free diet right now to see if that will help her ears and unfortunately she's not a big fan of soy formula so weaning is a no-go.
But on to happier times:
In the bathtub, with her bubble hat that Alli made her.
Playing in the house. It has been SO cold this week, so we have been inside a lot. A week ago it was 65. That is just how Colorado is in the winter. Shorts one day, heavy winter coat the next!

That doesn't sound like fun at all! I don't like having my blood taken, I can't imagine having my baby's blood taken. :( My baby had lots of ear infections from Oct. to Dec. too. We were on the road to get tubes, but some of our friends told us to take him to the Chiropractor. Their ears can be adjusted. It worked! Now we have a much happier baby and he didn't have to get tubes. I just thought I would pass this on in case you wanted to know.
Wow, Colorado weather IS crazy! :)
Poor thing. Hopefully you can get everything taken care of soon.
