The pool: take 2

Second time is a charm!

We were back at the pool recently and Audra was a new girl...she LOVED the water!  I suppose she just needed some practice, or some time to warm up...because now she is a natural!  I wasn't even going to take her, but she insisted on going along with the other kids.





 
On Monday Audra had her bi-weekly scheduled weight check.  And my arms knew the truth...they are becoming really accurate gauges of her weight!  She had lost a little over a pound since her Adoption Clinic visit just 4 days prior.  Her belly is definitely still bothering her...she's not eating like she usually does.  She is eating some, but she isn't eating everything that isn't tied down...like we know her to do!  More like just bites here and bites there.  And she's in the bathroom quite a bit more then usual for her.  She's a little more cranky than normal, with some temps in the 100.something range, and she actually takes short naps during the day...otherwise she is her usual happy, playful, rambunctious self.  Her pediatrician is hoping this is just a touch of a GI virus that will pass soon.  So, lucky for her, she got out of getting her catch up vaccinations...AGAIN!  The good news is that her ears looked better...there's still fluid in the left ear, but no more infection.  She has been antibiotic free for 7 days now!  But probiotics are still her best friend...Hoping for a happy tummy for her soon :)

  1. I'm sorry to hear that Audra isn't 100%. I'm totally unmedical and I'm sure they've probably checked, but what about h. pylori bacteria? Could it be what's causing her problems?

    You all look beautiful at your sister's wedding. :)
