J's Dr. Appt. Today

So we saw Dr. McMahon today and it was a good visit! J was so well behaved! She is still running a little temp., but I think it may be that she is cutting her last incisor tooth.

Her surgery is scheduled for a week from Thursday. I am so ready! I wanted tubes a long time ago. They are WAYYYYY overdue. This little girl has had more than her fair share of ear infections.

They aren't going to take out her adenoids due to the fact that it looks like she has allergies causing her nasal drainage more than inflamed adenoids. Since it looks like she has allergies (we already know about peanuts, but suspect she is allergic to cats and who knows what else!), they are going to do a RAST test while she is under anesthesia. They need to draw some blood for this test and it will tell us everything (almost) she is allergic to. It is more accurate than a skin test and better for kids since no skin pricking is involved. :-\ It will be easier on her to draw her blood while she is under and getting her tubes.

As I said before, I'm just excited that we are finally on our way to getting our little girl some relief from ear infections, sinus infections, congestion and constant coughing! Yay!!!!
