Violet and the Museum

We went to the specialist for Violet this week. I was able to get a lot of information and we decided to put her on the low dose of daily antibiotic for a year and see if her reflux problem resolves. They say that grade 2 reflux corrects itself 80% of the time. I was kind of worried about the antibiotics but after talking to the urologist, the risk is worth it. Hopefully she only needs the one more test in a year and she will be all done. If she does end up needing the surgery, it is not too invasive or risky. So, fingers crossed for the next year! During this time she has had so many uti's and has been on an antibiotic every other week. We found out that she's allergic to Bactrim for sure and possibly Keflex. The case of hives she got from that bactrim was so bad. She was covered head to toe in them.

Since we had to go to PCMC for her tests, we decided to go to the museum of natural history after. I was a little nervous going clear up there with only the little kids. Our doctor appointment was at 8:30 am. I had to leave the house at 6:45am.  I was a little early but that's okay. After our appointment it was only 10am. I thought "how could I come all this way and not do something fun?" I found out the museum was the closest. Just around the corner in fact. I was really surprised that Violet enjoyed it as much as she did. They have a great little kids room with a little river that the kids can play in with bugs and nets. She said that was her favorite part. Later she said that the dinosaurs were her favorite part. My favorite part was that Violet listened to everything I said, was super nice, and Dexter didn't make a peep in the stroller the whole time. It was one of those times when pat myself on the back for being a cool Mom. I want to do more cool stuff like that this winter.We're going to need to get out of the house.
