I said Doctor.....Mr. M.D.

That is a song isn't it?
So this was the week of dr. visits at our house. Kaleb went to his ENT appointment on Wednesday. I had been concerned about his hearing for the last two months. He turns the volume of the tv up as high as it can go, says he can't hear it when I turn it down. He is yelling when he speaks, and he has even said that he couldn't hear us. Kaleb hasn't had a history of ear infections, but in the last two months he has had two and when we went back to Dr. Barnes three weeks ago he still had fluid in his ear. So she refered us to an ENT.
The dr. was great and so was the audiologist. They both acted goofy, making Kaleb laugh. It is funny how some people go into fields where they will be working with children, yet have no sense of humor nor do they know how to put children at ease. Nothing was seen in the exam and Kaleb's bone conduction test showed that there is nothing wrong, yet he scored low on the hearing test and the movement test. This means that something is blocking the sound from going through. The dr. and I agree that it isn't anything serious that some medication should clear it up. No need for surgery as he doesn't have a history like I mentioned. We are doing Nasonex for a month and then we will go back to retest Kaleb. Hopefully the fluid and pressure go away soon. I hate that I was getting so annoyed with how loud Kaleb has gotten and how loud he wants the volume since there really is a reason for it. In any matter, he is just fine!

Emerson went in for her 15 month well-baby appointment yesterday. She weighs 22 lbs 4oz (50%) and is 32 1/2 inches (97%). The girl is tall. She is pretty much grown out of her 12-18 month clothes, not because of her weight, but because she is too tall for them. Especially in the torso. I need to get her some 24 month onsies, because the 18 month ones are tight. Emerson got 3 shots yesterday but she seems to have tolerated them just fine this time. Hopefully no scare of an infection again. Last time she had a hard lump with redness and a fever on one of her legs. This time they made sure to stretch the muscle so it wouldn't tense up.
Emerson is doing great. Lots of personality packed into such a little thing. She loves to read, loves to annoy her brother, loves to do her hair and brush her teeth, loves to talk, yell, scream and loves to give hugs and kisses.

On Monday I got to go visit Jen, Dan, Sarah, Aunt Diane, Uncle Dan and......... Dylan John!!! He is so adorable. Congrats Jen and Dan. I am still trying to find time to get on the computer to play with the pictures I took. I'll post when I get a chance.

This Sunday Emerson and I will be driving to Jackson to visit with Anna, Ava and Stella! I haven't seen Anna in almost 2 years and I miss her! We will make it a girls day and the boys will stay home and hang out together. It should be a fun weekend.
