It's been a busy week this week. Our last post was Tuesday, so it's been eventful since then. On Wednesday, NAVO gave a shower for Bethany, so we took our first trip to Stennis. She got so many really nice things and everyone was so sweet to come out and see her. She loves being out and about so she really enjoyed the day. We weren't sure how she would do with sleep after meeting so many new people, but she actually did well. I also took her to CNMOC (across the street from where Todd works at Stennis) where I work, and she got to meet a few of my co-workers. Most were in a departmental meeting, so we didn't get to see too many of them. I was looking forward to seeing everyone after having been gone for a month and a half, but we'll have to make another trip out to show her off. She did so well with our Stennis day, so I'm looking forward to trying to get out there again to see my friends soon. We didn't get to see anyone else at Stennis, because it was WAY past her nap time and she needed to get home and get to sleep. So for my friends reading that we missed, we'll make another trip soon and hope to see you then. I'm going to post some pictures of Bethany's things that she got at Wednesday's shower. She loves the bags and paper and her Mama and Daddy love the stuff!
On to Thursday……We received a call Tuesday from her Internat'l Adoption Doctor at UAB that the results were back from her immunization check. She had a lot of immunizations in China, and most were actually good and "took". So the good news is that she doesn't have to be re-immunized for all of those. She did have 1 or 2 that didn't "take", so the recommendation is to have those readministered. She's also due for a few that China didn't give her, so as of right now, she's due about 5 immunizations and 2 additional ones in a couple of months. That brings us to Thursday; so Thursday, we had another appt. with her pediatrician to discuss her immunizations, what was really needed and necessary, and a possible schedule. We didn't want to load her down with too many at one time, so we determined to go ahead and give her 2 – the ear infection one and the pneumonia one. Her doctors really encouraged those because she's already so prone to ear infections, so we agreed to go with those for right now. Also on Thursday, I woke up with my left eye being red and irritated. I thought it was allergies and didn't give it much thought since we were so busy with Bethany's appt. As the day progressed, my eye got redder and really began hurting, so that by Thursday night, I was pretty sure I had pink eye. We got up Friday morning and went to the doctor who then sent me to an ophthalmologist because it was so bad. Sure enough, it's a really bad case of pink eye, and today (Saturday), it has now moved into my right eye. Great. J Of course, it is very contagious, so we are sequestered at home which means no church tomorrow. Again. Too much of a risk to pass on to people who don't need or want this junk. Bethany has been doing better with sleep and we've had her at home as much as possible hoping that we could go to church Sunday. But that's not happening. We're praying that she doesn't get this from me – I've tried to be so careful around her. She does NOT need anything else that will send her to another's doctor's office. We kind of feel like we've been living in doctor's offices, so we want to keep her healthy. As a side note, she had gained weight from our last doctor's visit – 2 pounds. She's almost up to 20 pounds, so we're happy! She's still not on a growth chart with her weight, but she loves chocolate and strawberry milk, so we'll eventually get there if she'll keep drinking those in large quantities! We also finally found another pediatric eye doctor in NO, so we'll be making that trip on March 1st to get that behind us.
Bethany is a little clown, and you can see that from some of the pics I'll post tonight. She is so funny, and we have the most fun just watching her and laughing. And taking lots of pictures, of course. We went by my parents during the week, and the weather was bad, so she couldn't go outside and ride in her wagon. So, her Granddaddy brought her wagon inside the house and rode her in it. She could be a little spoiled. :) We think we have a pretty quiet week this week, so we might get to go to the park and play some if the weather cooperates and nothing big comes up. Bethany LOVES to be outside, so she'll really enjoy a few hours outside at the park. We'll post pics if that works out. That's all for now. Love from the Rayburn 3.
