taking care of olive

since olive was 6 months old
we've gone to the doctor's office on a monthly basis
to check her ears
and every month
she has had fluid in one or both ears
causing her to have temporary hearing loss
she goes through phases of talking
depending on her ability to hear
finally
after 10 straight months of fluid
she finally got referred to the ENT
i'm so happy!
and for the last 2 months
olive has had an awful rash around her mouth
that we've been to the doctor four times for
with 3 different doctors
and 4 prescriptions
finally i think this one is working
and if it doesn't by next week
a dermatologist will see olive
things are finally getting resolved
yay!!

It's nice when you finally get some answers. Olive looks so much like Halea in this picture!

She is so cute. I hope things get better with her ears.

wahoo! she's such a doll, Frenchie. so glad/relieved that this can all be put to rest. Glad that there won't be two surgery ears in the family (this coming from surgery mouth). The turqoise/blue is super faint. Could it be made a touch or two darker? Love you!
