Hannah’s (almost) 9 month checkup

We met with the pediatrician yesterday to do a recheck of Hannah’s ears.  She had some serous (clear) fluid in one ear about 10 days ago, and he wanted to check the status of that.

It turns out she now has this clear fluid in both middle ears now.  So, he wants us to go back to the ENT doctor that we saw for her laryngomalacia to now check her ears and follow through with that.  Of course, this is most likely NOT related to Gaucher’s, but it is probably just a normal “kid” thing. 

She wants to be just like Abigail, who is probably going on to her third tube surgery.  We meet with HER ENT doctor next week to see where we proceed for her.  Apparently her ears are a mess with all that fluid, and her tubes are no longer functional.  They are surprised that she is still having these issues at the age of 5, but her allergy testing came back normal.

Hannah will be 9 months old in a bit over a week.  As a naked baby, she weighs 18 lbs 7 ounces and is 27 inches tall.  She definitely went through a growth spurt height-wise during the past couple of months, as she added 2 inches in just a couple of months!!  No failure-t0-thrive issues here.  We also are completely caught up finally with her immunizations now.
