Dr. Appointments and more....

So this past week we had a visit to McMaster Children's Hospital for her foot, a doctors app to get referred to a pediatrician for her face twitch and the ped got us in the next day!

First things first, McMaster went well. Her left foot curves in still so we have exercises to do for the next 4 weeks then we go back and if it hasn't improved enough then we have to get special shoes. But she'll be walking fine so there isn't much need to worry. Phew!

She's been doing this face twitch thing since we introduced solids. At first we thought it was just when she didn't like something then she started doing it more and more. No harm in getting it looked at. Dr. didn't think it was anything too serious but referred us to a pediatrician just to be sure. The pediatrician was fantastic! Squished us in to make sure everything was okay. She thinks its do with her reflux. We always thought she had reflux but never got it checked out (well we did once, and we're told not to worry so we didn't push it). Ped thinks that its just her muscles trying to keep it down. If anything happens in the next 4 weeks we are to call and she will see us right away. Other than that we are to just continue as per usual and see her again in 4 weeks.

So, those are the medical updates... we tried on all her Mexico clothes the other day -- what a chore that was! Getting her dressed on the best of days is sometimes not so fun. Trying to get her into 7+ outfits all in one afternoon was tough. She ate A LOT of those puffs let me tell you. It was the only way we could keep her still and not cry. BUT good news EVERYTHING fit! YEAH :) Started finished off her list this past Friday (yesterday) bought her sunscreen, baby food and threw everything in the office. The holding area for all things Mexico. That bed is getting jammed with stuff. I am not looking forward to the actual packing part...
