Since I'm on here, I'll let you know of the things going on with the other kids, too.
Olivia has been having some vaginal spotting for 6 months. She has been to the pediatrician, a pediatric endocrinologist and I've consulted an adolescent gynocologist. She is otherwise healthy and tests have showed she is not in early puberty.
So, I took her to a pediatric surgeon. She is scheduled for an examination under anesthesia on June 12th. It is really just a look-see to see if she has any polyps up there, but it must be done with anesthesia. So it is a whole trip to the hospital, IV's and the OR. She is very nervous... she is afraid she won't wake up.
Meredith went to the dentist last week for a cleaning and they took X-rays of her mouth. Her left front tooth is coming in very off-center. Turns out she has an extra tooth up there in the middle. The dentist says she needs to have it removed.
This will be with an oral surgeon and it, too, will require anesthesia. They will have to go through the palate to get it out, but they may not be able to do it for months. They have to wait until her grown up teeth have stronger roots.
They are thinking maybe December.
I'm going to be so busy during those months, I don't know if there will ever be a convenient time for me. Bryan will be the one to take off work to be home with her.
What a mess....
