Sidney had her 15 month well baby check up today; only she's not exactly a "well baby". She has yet another ear infection, and her doctor is now suggesting tubes. We knew it was only a matter of time. Poor baby. We're not willing to try tubes just yet, the idea of putting her under scares the daylights out of both of us. So any experiences people have about putting their little ones under anesthesia, we're all ears. Email or comment.
As for percentiles, well, she continues to be our peanut. She weighs 20 lbs 15 oz (20th percentile) and is 30 inches tall (30th percentile). Of course, she has lots of brains and her melon comes in at 65th percentile! That's our girl :)
We're doing a different course of antibiotics now, 3 days of injections and then 30 days of a low dose oral. She's not at all liking the injections...and neither are we.
In the grand scheme of things, she's healthy. But as for her ears, well, that's a different story. Guess it explains our lack of sleeping for the last 6 weeks.

Hey Liz!
This is Danielle, Denise Fries niece. I love looking at your blog and your girls are so cute! For some reason when I look at pictures of Sidney they remind me of my Lily. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that we had tubes put in Eva's ears when she was around 16 months old and she did great. The procedure was pretty fast and she was a bit cranky afterward but that was it. It was a relief for us to have it done so she didn't have to keep dealing with ear infections. Also, if Sidney drinks a lot of milk that could be a culprit too. You might google "milk and ear infections". Maybe that will help too. Maybe there are other areas that you could eliminate before trying tubes. Good luck and hope your sweet girl feels better soon!
