Belle had her thirty month check up. She is roughly thirty-five inches and twenty-eight pounds. The height is likely off since she wouldn't stand still. Also, we had to be weighed together before I had my weight taken alone and subtracted. Nevertheless, Belle is doing well.
The doctor would like to see Belle string more words together. Belle started saying, "No, mommy" this week and "Me me, no mo'" last month. I am sure more phrases are coming, just days and weeks after the thirty month check up. Thus begins total language learning these next few months before October's flu shot.
We brought home antibiotics and pain relievers to help heal the boil on Belle's bum. Two applications of hot compresses on Thursday brought it to a head and started the draining process on Friday. Belle doesn't have a fever, nor is she favoring the boil. She only reacts when I touch the boil to treat it.
The doctor doesn't want me to administer antibiotics unless it worsens. She wants Belle in an emergency room as a last resort. I had a polinidal cyst once upon a time. I had pain, a fever and lethargy. I know what to look for. I treated Belle with more moist heat and I am leaving an onion on the boil over night to help draw it out.
