Kailey's Appointment

Kailey had her appointment this afternoon with the Dr. from the Stollery. He thinks she has Acid Reflux, or a form of it so he gave us a prescription to fill and use when her symptoms start up. She will be on the meds for a week only and then I am to report back to him how it went. Failing that, he is suspecting migraines. She is 20 lbs 8 oz and is a extremely tall (I forgot the exact number but she is wayyyy off the chart for height and is in the low 90th for weight). She is basically built like Tyra Banks...she has a booty just like her too. hahaha. She had a blast at the appointment and charmed everyone she saw. Trying to get a weight on her was tricky since she was kicking like mad. He looked at her flat spot and said it is fine and pretty minor compared to most he has seen. He said that this generation will be full of 'flat-headed' people because of the back to sleep rule. So the only ones that seem concerned are a couple of the Health Nurses here. He also mentioned that she is at the age that she can start to have what we are having for supper just blended up. (within reason as we like a few 'bad' things). If we have lasagna for instance it is fine to blend that up (so it would appear that I need to start cooking because I cannot remember even cooking lasagna ever...maybe early in our relationship when I was trying to impress Jack with my culinary skills I may have made this). He said salt and sugar are the bad spices but anything else is fine for her....weird. She is not to have even a taste of Homo milk until after a year old because of the milk allergies in my family. The bad news is her eczema. He figures she will have problems with this in her toddler years and will hopefully grow out of it. :-( It is the hereditary type and not related to diet or contact eczema (phew, I thought maybe it was the dogs). I guess he can tell this by looking at the spots. She has a few spots on her shoulders, in the folds of her arms and legs and on her chest. He gave me a prescription for a cortisone cream that I am only to fill if absolutely necessary. He said that the worst thing that we can do is let her air dry after a bath. While she is still damp we need to slather cream on her to act as a moisture barrier. Funny thing is her bum is totally clear, even after cutting a tooth. I know she wakes up from her naps and in the morning pretty sweaty so that can't be helping much.

After the appointment I took her to work to see where our new offices are, she thought that was pretty cool. She was trying to help Chris 'fix' a computer. She thought it was so neat to see her Dad there too. She cried at first when Brad had her on his lap but she got over it and then wanted to taste test his glasses. She loves to go cruising that's for sure.
