Shots and a Check Up

Recently Landon had his five year checkup.  The nurse asked if we had any concerns about his hearing or vision.  Well, come to think of it yes, we do have some concerns about his hearing.  So she did a hearing test on him, which didn’t go so well.  When the doctor came in to do the exam we talked to her about it.  I had explained to her that both the kids had a cough for a month now that they just couldn’t shake.  She looked into Landon’s ears and noticed that he had a lot of fluid buildup in them.  She said that they were not infected, but there was a lot of fluid there.  The fluid could be the cause of his hearing problem.  She thought that he had a sinus infection and wrote a prescription for antibiotics for both kids.  I tell you, this winter has been terrible for our family.  I know I can’t really complain because some families have serious medical conditions to deal with, but it seems like twice a month we are in the clinic lately.  Then came to the fun part or not so fun part.  Landon had to get two shots to be ready for kindergarten this fall.  Overall, he did really well for them with minimal crying.  The doctor said he looked great and seemed very ready for kindergarten.  It’s hard to believe my baby is ready for that, but look out kindergarten
