Medical Update


I just wanted to share how lucky we are to have such a supportive and knowledgable pediatrician, developmental specialist and dietician to work with. Little Miss Amina was a brave little girl when we made it to Riley Hospital on Wednesday for a complete work up! After an appointment with 3 doctors, a 13-vial blood draw and an ultrasound of her abdomen, we were able to hear most of her results today. Although we are still battling a double ear infection, we have kicked Giardia to the wayside and are getting ready to treat some ringworm. (She also has an abcess on her BCG injection site, but it is improving daily.) We have an appointment with an ENT about her large adenoids :) and her recurring ear infections, but everything else looked really good! (Did I mention she gained almost a pound last week?!)There are a couple of things we still need to follow up with in the future, but for now, we are celebrating our little peanut's health and her blossoming personality! She is bringing us even more joy now that she is feeling better!
