Immunizations

Odette is a little behind on her immunizations...

I guess little is the wrong word...a lot behind!

So she doesn't get treated like a human pin cushion and because I am overly paranoid we are taking shots slowly.

Odette is going to be getting two shots a month until she can get all caught up.

I think it is for the next 8 months.

I took her today to get some shots.

(I totally forgot to take a picture.)

The nurse wanted to give her two live vaccines and I about went running out of the office!

I convinced them to start with something good and dead, especially since her eating this past week has been worse than normal.

I really don't want a sick baby from the live vaccines.

I know Odette doesn't have cancer anymore, but that doesn't mean I don't worry and think about it more often than not.

Odette did her normal, "owie" when she got poked.

Then she jumped down from the table, ran out the door and stood by the treats until I caught up with her and could give her one.

She was obsessed with the band-aids for the rest of the day.

Maybe getting the immunizations is going to be harder for the mommy than it is for Odette.

Endo Doctor Visit

The day has finally arrived that I needed to take Odette in to see the Endocrinologist.  I have been really worried about this appointment because supposedly we were suppose to have Odette get hormone levels tested-just done with some blood work and get an X-ray to find out what her bone age is.  The doctor walked in, took one look at her and said, "Why are you even here?  Everything I see on her charts looks great and she looks healthy."  The doctor crunched some numbers and said that there isn't anything that we should be worried about.  She wrote an order for some blood work to be done with Odette's regular CBC test next month and told me not to worry.  "We don't do X-rays on kids until they are about 4."  She would never recommend a G-tube for such a healthy kid.  I had a huge burden lifted when she said that.  So, Odette is what I have always thought she was:  A happy, healthy, energetic, special, miracle, amazing little two year old!

 

 Odette LOVED the painting on the wall, especially the purple cow with green polka dots.

 After her appointment we went to Tracy Aviary to see the birds.  She thought it was great playing in the sand, being a pelican, chasing a peacock trying to touch it and watching all "her" birds.  She even tried to pick a fight with a kid because she said they were her birds and he was standing in her spot! 

She is so stinkin cute!
