Sinus Infection

I went to my doctor today.

I have been coughing at night. I cough so bad for the last few days that Mom had to call my pediatrician to schedule and appointment.

We waited for over an hour in the waiting room before we were being called to go to the examining room. We waited some more before the doctor came and checked me.

The doctor told Mom and Nana that I have a sinus infection but other than that, I am fine. I had an antibiotic to take for 5 days. I got two lollipops after the doctor checked me.

Ouch!

Daddy and I went to check the mail yesterday.  We were having a leisurely walk going to the mailbox.  It was cool.  On our way home, I was running around when all of a sudden I fell.  Ouch, I got a booboo in my knee.



Despite having a booboo, we had a lot of fun yesterday.  We played outside with other kids in the apartment.  We played baseball and we played with the cat that were both very nice.

 

My weekend passed by so quick but I had a lot of fun.

 

I Was Brave!

I was brave.  I let this dentist clean my teeth and check it too.  When she was done, Dr. Smith checked my teeth again.

I know it is important for me to see the dentist that way I will have a healthy teeth.

Dentist Visit

I am going to see my dentist tomorrow. It is time for my teeth cleaning and check up. I hope all will be well tomorrow.

I am sure mommy will get some pictures of me tomorrow. I like the dental office because the waiting area has many toys and books.

I need to be very brave tomorrow because I am a big girl now.

Skin Eczema

We went to see my doctor last week because I have bad rashes all over my body.  The doctor told us that I have skin eczema and I had a break out.  She advised my mom to use soap with a lot of moisturizer to keep my skin moisturized.

Now, I am using Dove Sensitive for my body wash and I used Eucerin Creme as my lotion.  My doctor also prescribed me some ointment for the places that I have bad rashes.

After few days, I can see some improvement and I am not itching very much now.

I am Sick

I don't feel good.  I have stuffy and runny nose.  I was restless last night because I have hard time sleeping with a stuffy nose.  Mommy gave me candy (chewable motrin) because I also have fever.  I don't like being sick.

Today, I woke up sick still.  My nose is just draining bad but my mommy is taking good care of me.  It must be the sudden change of our weather that made me sick.

We will be in bed most of the day, reading books and we will just relax.

3 Years Old Well Check-up

I had my well check up for 3 years old yesterday.  I was happy while waiting for my turn at the examining room.  My Nana and I was busy looking for airplanes in the sky.  I was also jumping and playing on the waiting room.





Honestly, I don't like doctors or nurses. I cried when I had to take off my vest and boots to take my weight and height. I now measure 37 inches and weight 32lbs.

While waiting for the doctor to check on me, we were reading books and telling stories. When the doctor came, I was upset and I cried. She checked my lungs, eyes, ears and everything else. She got my blood pressure too. She said it was high (obviously I was crying my heart out so my BP will be high).

I had two shots yesterday and after the shots I was ready to go. On the brighter side, I got to lollipops!

Thanks Nana for bringing me to my doctor.
