6 Month Well Visit

Shawn is out of town on a golf trip with my Dad and brother, so I took Emily myself over to see Dr. G for her 6 month well-visit.  Here are her stats:

Weight: 14 lbs, 2 oz (20-25%)
Height: 25.3 in. (50%)
Head: 16.3in. (25-50%)

Unfortunately, this visit turned more into a sick visit, then a well-visit.  She has double ear infections and an eye infection.  :(  So he gave us prescriptions for antibiotics and eye drops.  Hopefully, we can get those cleared up soon!  Developmentally, she's right on track.  I asked him about her ezcema because she seems to be itching like crazy and he said it could be worse because of her infections.  But if it gets real bad, we are able to give her some Benadryl.  He also said we can try stopping the Zantac now for her acid reflux and see how she does.  I guess the dose we've been giving her is really low compared to her weight, so if it hasn't flared up with her being on such a low dose, we're probably okay to just stop it.  We'll try and see how it goes.   She got 2 shots today and the oral Rotovirus vaccine.  She was a trooper.  She only cried for a few seconds. 

Dr. G said we can try oatmeal now instead of the rice cereal.  Maybe Emily will like that better.  We'll continue to try baby food as well.
