Dear Mommy and Daddy, Thanks for the Bad Ears!
Here's a listing of the most recent Knapp Drama, I swear they need to give us a reality show.
1.) After trying every anitibiotic on the market, including "The Big Daddy" (a.k.a the shot), Bubby still has an ear infection. Since December he has had 5th's Disease, Strep Throat, a constant ear infection, and a febrile seizure. As a result, we saw an ENT Doc yesterday. I soooooo loved him.
2.) Bubby is getting tubes in his ears on April 21st. Hallelujah! However, the 4 minute surgery terrifies me.
3.) Sissy has also had an ear infection since January. I am waiting on the insurance referral to get her into the same ENT. She may also need tubes. This surgery also terrifies me.
4.) I have 5th's Disease. No big deal for me, way big deal for Kane. Fetuses exposed to 5th's disease can be born stillborn (rare), anemic, or with under active red cell function which can lead to heart defects. As a result, I get to see a Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist on Monday. I am triple terrified. I tested positive on Tuesday, and they got me in within the week. I should know more after the appointment. The good news: A lot of babies who are exposed are born fine.
So that wraps it up. At least my kids are still darling.
