Hannah finally has medical insurance as of yesterday so I set her up for a full physical. That included her vaccinations for Kindergarten. She was thrilled. She was going to get a doctor's check-up and even shots! I'm not being sarcastic. For some reason, she thought this was the coolest thing ever. (She doesn't think it's so great NOW, but she was really excited.)
So I left the hospital and met my mom with the girls at the pediatrician's office. Hannah was thrilled when they called HER name for a change, instead of Audrey or Kyle. After collecting the urine sample, she said, "That was strange".
She passed the hearing test in both ears but her left ear barely passed. When the doctor looked at her ears, she was surprised the left ear passed at all. She had a very bad infection.
I asked the pediatrician about her tonsils. The pediatrician agreed that they were "generous" in size and combined with history of snoring and disturbed sleep may indicate a need for a tonsillectomy.
So Hannah's now on an antibiotic and tylenol for the ear infection and pain from the shots and I have a referral to get her in with an ENT about her tonsils.
