OUCH!!! This is what Becky looked like after her shots at her doctor appointment yesterday. She had a good appointment except for the fact that she STILL has an ear infection! She weighed 20 pounds 3 1/2 ounces and was 28 3/4 inches long. Still in the 90th percentile for height. Go, Becky, Go!! She had to get a shot of Rocephin in her leg. This is basically the last resort to help try and get rid of the ear infection. She has to go in two more times to get another shot, on Friday and Sunday. We will most likely go ahead and make an appointment with an ENT to at least talk about the possibility of tubes in her ears. Our doctor doesn't really like to use the shots or suggest tubes in the ears, but Becky has pretty much had ear infections the entire summer. We're afraid to wait until winter when it will probably only get worse!
Becky is very, very resilient though. She cried for about 5 minutes after the shot and then settled down enough to fall asleep. Then we had to go have her blood drawn for testing. She screamed and cried some more. When we got home from the doctor, she got to take a nap on the couch with Mommy :) After her nap, she was in a good mood and slept through the night last night. She was even in a good enough mood to look at pictures!

well, if it comes down to tubes, just a little uplifting comment...they were the CURE ALL for brigg. after he got his just 2 days before turning one, he never had an ear infection again!
That is encouraging. Thanks!
Oh, poor Becky!!! Hopefully she gets well soon and doesn't have to worry about anymore ear infections!
She is soooo cute!
She's a brave girl! Giving blood when even Daddy won't! I talked to Al yesterday and he told me about the shots and tubes, I think they really helped Landon too. I'm sure she will adjust to whatever, kind of a laid back kid.
