Addalyn's Doctor Filled Day

After her blood draw :-(


I took 2 pictures of this part of the exam...the flash went off on the first one. I was so embarrassed. I'm pretty sure they dim the lights for a reason...whoops!

Her vision is perfect!

Sportin' her sweet shades and half a dozen stickers after having her eyes dilated

Who knew that tossing a few pennies in the water at Metro North Mall would make it all better?!

It was a day of good news all around. First off, she has outgrown her peanut allergy! Thank goodness. That's a huge stress relief. Turns out though, she doesn't like it anyway.
Her eye exam appointment at Childrens Mercy was to check on her eye that constantly waters. It's been doing it pretty much since birth and Addalyn seems to be a little more bothered by it now than she used to be. The ophthalmologist said that the tube that drains from her eye is constricted. She said Addalyn could have surgery on it where they would probe the tear duct and put a tiny silicone piece in the tube to keep it open. OR, we could live with it for a while and see if she possibly outgrows it. As she grows, the tube can grow also. Clearly, I opted for the second option. Her eyes are perfect otherwise!
