Doctor Visits

We have become regulars at the doctor's office. I swear we are constantly turning in $10 co-pays into flex.

At one of Maggie's recent visits to the pediatrician (I think when she got her yeast infection), Dr. Patten saw the major flair ups of acne that I had been talking about, but she never actually saw when it came around to appointments. She suggested seeing a dermatologist and got us in with a great one. Maggie is now on a topical treatment three times a week and we should be seeing improvement in 6-8 weeks. Should it not be cleared up in a year, she would do some hormone testing with our pediatrician.

When I went to pick up the girls on Monday, I noticed how swollen Maggie's left side of her face was. Weird I thought. My mom said her nose was like a faucet all day. Not surprising since she cut a tooth last week and has four more (including molars) that are making their way. But as we got home, she could hardly open her eye. Called the doctor and got right in.....double ear infection! You have got to be kidding me. This is the happiest she has been ever while having an ear infection, sleeping fine and eating. Meanwhile, other times I've taken her in convinced her screaming was an ear infection turned out to be teething. This girl keeps us guessing. So back on Augmenten for Mags.
