9 month Dr's Appt with Pediatrician.

So the last 2 weeks we had Dr. appointments...
She had her 9 month appointment with the pediatrician. She informed me that Kiersten had a ear infection. the week before she wasn't feeling good when we were in Orofino... 2 nights in a row she was up all night. I figured it as her teeth because she seemed to be better after a couple days. Anyhow the doctor thought maybe she was on the getting better side of the ear infection and so she let me decide if we wanted to treat her with antibiotics. So I decided not to. She was acting normal and happy so I didn't figure I needed to give her drugs for it. We had pain drops for her ears at home that I could use. Anyhow so besides the ear infection she was doing great.
She was 27.5 inches long (50 percentile), 20.05lb (70 percentile), and 44.5 inch head circumference (70 percentile).
She also got her Flu shot. Well half of it. When they are babies they only give them a half dose then a month later they come back for the other half dose. So we go back in October for the other half of the medication. (another shot). I was bummed cause I forgot about the flu shot and I knew 9 month appointment they didn't have to get any vaccinations. Anyhow she got a shot anyway!!
Then we got home and by Friday she was having fevers again and crabby...so needless to say I called and got the antibiotic prescription anyways. She is feeling better now....but still on antibiotics for 5 more days!!
