Knock on wood, but I think Brooke is finally feeling healthy again, after these past few months of battling pneumonia, ear infections, etc, etc. She is on Children's Zyrtec for a few more weeks to make sure her cough and the pneumonia stay away, and then its off to the allergist in mid-May for a full exam. We have to take her this weekend to get blood work drown, which we really aren't looking forward to. I now understand the statement "Its harder on me than you," which I always thought was bogus growing up. Through the blood work they are able to measure the amount of proteins (I think), which are causing the egg allergy, and determine if the number is increasing, decreasing, or staying the same. Based on this analysis they can make an estimate on whether or not they think she will be able to get over the allergy, and approximately when. The other reason we are going to the allergist is to understand if the cough she keeps on getting is allergy related. We were planning on waiting a few years to go back, but due to her cough, it was highly recommended to take her in this spring. Whatever it takes to help us to understand what is going on, and keep our kiddo healthy!
Brooke's "official doctor" measure weight this month is 29 lbs! Also, her new phrase this month is "oopsie daisy". We are still trying to figure out where she picked that one up at. She also enjoys shows showing us her few "empty spots" on her belly after dinner, which have just enough room for two little M&Ms.
Here are her sign pictures, in her fun Easter dress!
