Sick Kiddos

It seems that between the 4 kids, I've been to more doctors, specialists, labs & hospitals this summer alone than in the past 8 years. Of course we've had the on-going issues trying to medically diagnose Kaiden's severe developmental delays.

Additionally, Kierstyn has had health concerns on-going since July. It started with a concussion when Kaeterina dropped her while trying to do a headstand in the front yard. Lots of headaches have followed. She did pass the pediatrician's neuro test twice on two different occasions. That was quickly followed by reflux. The first medicine didn't work so we are in our 4th week now of trying another that doesn't seem to be working either. On top of that, I think she has allergies, possibly asthma too. Those do all seem to run in our family. I took her in to see the pediatrician last week because the headaches weren't getting any better, neither was the reflux.

Now she's been running a fever all week and complaining of a stomach ache. The stomach ache is probably the reflux. The fever has me concerned. I think Pete will take her in to see the pediatrician again tomorrow because I'll be at the Beth Moore live event at KCC.
