A poke in the eye. Literally. We got the hospital bill today, and the procedure that lasted 30 minutes costs 6 grand. This does not even include the anasthesiologists bill, or her actual opthalmologists bills. We can hardly wait.
In the meantime, we are still waiting to hear about her blood test results to see if she has a thyroid problem, diabetis, inadequate amounts of growth hormone, or something else preventing her from gaining weight. We know she has low iron, as in April her levels were at 18 and normal is 37-102. That is fixable with daily drops. I just keep telling her doctor, yes she eats, yes she eats like a pig, and someday I'm bringing in John's family photos. She is lucky enough to have the genes from her paternal grandfather in that John's side of the family is not very big. At 11 months, she's a hefty 16 lbs 5 oz, which I think the boys surpassed by their 3 month mark, easily.
On a side note, I bought her her FIRST pair of shoes (Thank you very much $45 later at Stride Rite) because she is out and out walking. Her legs are so skinny that with these size 3 1/2's, she looks like she's wearing Bozo T. Clown shoes. I'd rather have her go barefoot, but at a wood chip park, she gets pretty ticked, so Shoes it is.
Now, to get those blood test results.....
