Just peachy....

Delilah came through her surgery with flying colors. She was very tired after her surgery, but overall did handled it like a champ. The fussiness later in the day I think was more related to teething than her ears. The biggest fight was actually the ear drops. One of the baby signs and words she know well is "all done" She uses it to let us know that she is done eating most of the time. Or we ask her if she is done eating and she says "all done." Well apparently the other day while Jarrod was giving her the drops she just kept repeating "all done, all done, all done." Jarrod felt so bad that he couldn't stop! We really do hope the tubes stay in long enough to get past that bad time and then no more tubes.

She is doing great. She is really starting to talk and actually said thank you the other day. I swear it was like we had the surgery and because she could hear so much more she jsut took off with her talking. She is always on the move. Yesterday all three of us went to Borders and man that girl was in heaven. She pulled off more books than I could keep track of. She just ran around and would grab a book look at it and then move to the next. It was like a kid in a candy store but it was bookstore. I like that even better. A kid happy in a book store.

She has start occasionally biting Jarrod and I but we think we have that figured out to be boredom as it is usually when we are on the computer and not paying attention to her. She does not do it at daycare, so apparently Jarrod and I are slacking :)

Other than that doing good and very excited to be expecting a nephew. Looking forward to a trip to SD soon to be a part of a great baby shower!

Surgery next week...

Next Tuesday Delilah will have her ear tubes placed. Sounds pretty quick and simple. We meet with her Pediatrician today too and she is doing well. Her weight dropped again, now to the 58%, her height spiked to the 68 percentile and head remains in 90th percentile. She got two shots (those don't get any easier to watch) and overall she is healthy. So off to surgery and then hopefully no more need for antibiotics!

Delilah's First Drawing

It took two days of effort but the masterpiece is finally finished. Behold the masterful strokes created with wax and paper. It proudly hangs on the fridge.

September 15th...

So as you can read in my last post that yes Delilah had moved onto Omnicef. Luckily though we have been able to keep the diaper rash at bay. We immediately started giving her Lactobaccilus (a probiotic), and treating her diaper area with lots of triple paste and Lotrimin twice a day and so far have only had a little redness and then a spot every once and awhile. I am excited that we aren't having a horrible diaper rash yet. By we are on Day 6!

The awesome news is that on September 15th we are getting to see the ENT for tube evaluation and our Pediatrician for her 15 month check up. So going to be busy day but finally we can get the ball rolling for tubes. I really want to get them in as soon as we can. Hopefully no more antibiotics for ear infections! Otherwise, Delilah finally said "Mama" I am not sure she was saying it at me but hey she said it and I heard it. Apparently Jarrod has heard it long before I did.

Delilah has quite the temper and is rather stubborn ( I know like mother, like daughter), she has learned "No" very efficiently and is starting to throw temper tantrums of throwing herself down and kicking. Does she know that she is only 15 months and she can't do this until she is TWO! Oh well. She is so funny and has such purpose now. It is so cute to see her so determined. She is one smart stubborn cookie!

The fun continues...

Apparently even though I cought the ear infection on day one, the nasty bug still seems to be resitant to Amoxicillin, so onto stronger antibiotics. Nice things is the dose is only once a day, but it will almost gaurantee a daiper rash for poor Delilah! Hopefully I can keep the rash at bay. Time to call Ear Nose and Throat for tubes.
