The Definitely Necessary Lucy Update

Like I mentioned on Amy's blog, we've had a lot of holiday fun, but this past week was filled with stuffy noses, coughing, and for Lucy, ear infections in both ears that the doctor called "raging". Her ears must have been pretty mad about her getting sick, and decided to go on strike. Maybe that's why she's had trouble listening lately!

Anyway, I picked up her medicine Wednesday evening from Rite Aid, whose slogan is "With us, it's personal." I love that. Rite Aid is taking an interest not only in keeping my business, but also in the health of my children. So imagine my surprise when I take out the bottle at home, and read the label: "1/2 teaspoon, twice a day for 10 days. Keep refrigerated, shake well before use. Finish all medication unless directed by your doctor. May interfere with birth control pills, consult your physician before taking." Wow. If that's not personal, I don't know what is.

She is getting better. Her appetite is getting back to normal, and she's been sleeping well. She'll see the doctor again in a couple of weeks when Amy has her 4-month check-up to make sure the infection is gone.

On a higher note, she has grown to 38 inches tall. Average height for a 3-year-old is 33.5 inches. She'll pass us soon if she keeps growing at this rate. Many thanks to all her grandparents and aunts and uncles who thought to buy 4T and 5T clothing for Christmas. She needs it!

Here's a few pictures for all who need their "Lucy fix".

BUSTED!
