Kaleah's Extra Appointments

Kaleah had to have her tongue clipped when she was a day old in the hospital because she could not extend it past her lips.  I was still having latch difficulties that I did not experience with Maylee.  I set up an appointment with the hospital's lactation consultant.  She discovered that Kaleah's tongue muscle was tight and refered us to physical theraphy for her tongue.  I didn't know something like that existed!  So we took her to physical therapy too.  I am happy to say her tongue works great now!

Due to Kaleah being breech (even though it was only for one week and she was not fully breech) it is common procedure for our pediatrician to using imaging to check hips...so he put in an order.  One day we got home to find a message on our answering machine that Kaleah will need an MRI for her hips and they left us the day and time of the appointment.  I was concerned that my little one would have to be in an MRI machine at such a young age.  An hour before that appointment, a nurse at the imagining center said that they didn't notice that she is not 30 days old so they rescheduled for Dec. 21st.  When that day rolled around, we took her in and learned that the new nurse also should have said it was an ultrasound on her hips, not an MRI.  I was a little nervous when the doctor came in to check again a second time with the technician...but relieved when he said everything is great.
