Dr's appointments

Well we have definately met our deductible this year! We have had 3 hospital visits and everyone in our family has had some sort of illness. Rex has a EEG scheduled for next Thursday so that they can make sure he doesn't have a seizure disorder. His pediatrician doesn't feel confident that he had a febrial seizure since he didn't have a fever at the time of his seizure and also because he had two. So either we will never know why he had them and he will never have another one or else this is the beginning of a seizure disorder. I am obviously hoping for the first option! On his CT Scan it showed that he has sinusitis so we are trying to figure out how to prevent that so he doesn't get these little illnesses all the time.
Now Sam keeps getting ear infections and has been on two antibiotics at his young age. I hate to keep giving him antibiotics and they don't seem to be working so someone mentioned taking him to the chiropractor. I had heard of this before so I called a chiropractor in our ward and he had his first appointment on Friday. It was interesting to see how they work on babies. Sam enjoyed most of it but he tugged on his ears to try and help the fluid drain and Sam DID NOT enjoy that, he screamed and looked very angry at the Dr. We are going to take him twice a week for 3 weeks and see if that helps. Mark was very skeptical but I told him if he was up with him all night, he could make the decisions. Until then I will try anything I can to help him get comfortable and to sleep better.
