Penelope

Podiatrist

Yesterday Miss P went to the podiatrist (you know…because she is 80). He x-rayed her crooked/overlapping toes and examined them extensively. He told us not to bother with taping them anymore. He said it is rarely effective at this age and ends up being frustrating for the parent because the toes are so little. After [...]

2 months

Miss P went for her 2 month check up last Friday. SHe weighs 8 lbs 1 oz and is 21 inches long! She has to see another specialist next week…this time for her crooked toes. I don’t think it is a big deal but I will keep you posted. And now to make up for [...]

Laryngomalacia

We saw the specialist this morning. Miss P has Laryngomalacia. It is not serious enough at this point to require surgery. Dr. Castillo told us to expect it to get worse before it gets better. We are still aggressively treating her reflux which will help but there is nothing we can do for the laryngomalacia [...]

more about Penelope and her inability to breath

We had a call in to the doctor’s office about Penelope and her breathing issues. They called back at 4:30 and said to bring her in by 5pm. Our pediatrician is out of town until the 17th but we saw one of the other doctors in the practice. He is very concerned about Penelope. She [...]

Sisters

Because we like to put shit on her head….

Update-Miss P

We took Penelope back to the doctor this afternoon. After much discussion and observation … our pediatrician still feels like she is fighting with GERD (reflux). They drew blood and she also has a cold. (Her virus fighting white blood cells were elevated.) He told us that anytime she has anything else going on it [...]

Miss P and the projectile vomiting

So it seems that the Axid is helping. SHe still sounds like she is having a hard time breathing sometimes after she eats but the spitting up has calmed down. Hopefully it will go completely away soon. We are also putting her in her bouncy seat (sans bounciness) after she eats to keep her in [...]

Nursing round two (AKA: one more post Scout will hate me for when she is 12…)

I nursed Scout until she was 13 months old. The first 3 months of it were complete HELL! But we made it through and I planned on nursing Penelope. Nursing Penelope has been completely and totally easy. She latched on perfectly from day one and we have had NO issues. No sore nipples, no clogged [...]

No I am not dead.

My freaking site has been down for over a week because the crappy company that was hosting my site sucks. They finally got it back up long enough for Steve to move it to a new hosting company. FYI – JaguarPC sucks. If you need web hosting … I recommend Dixie Systems. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I finally [...]
