Life was a little hectic for us the first part of the year, and I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I would give everyone an update on all things Hadley! She is walking and running everywhere. She really likes to be outside in a big field where she can just go where she wants. She is also copying like every other word I say! I guess we have to start watching our mouths around her!
Tubes have not been the miracle we hoped for. She is on her second ear infection since getting tubes put in in January. But, they have helped. Ear infections used to mean fever, fussy, lack of sleep, re-arranging work schedules to stay home with her and take care of her fever, and yeast diaper rash and other not so pleasant side effects of the antibiotics. Now it is more like, "Oh, her ear has been draining for a few days. Time to use some drops." So the tubes have helped because she does not get a fever and the pressure does not build up and cause her pain.
Well, nap time is over . . . more later!

I have heard about some babies needing mulitple tubes because they fall out (my husband had more tubes than his mom can remember) but I am glad it is at least helping as far as pain is concerned. Do you have to use one of those swim caps on Hadley? My friend had to use one for her little boy in the bath tube...I am not sure how they washed his hair though :)
ReplyDeleteI hope things get better in this department. There is nothing fun about figuring out work schedules when your kid isnt feeling well. Especailly since you know she isnt contagious when she gets her ear infections...
