Dr. Visit

We went to the Dr. and they did all the blood tests. I was really nerveous..... Is she healthy?? Does she have Malaria again?? She didn't have fevers before and she had Malaria. She hasn't run a fever since we met. Have her liver functions spiked again?? We had her portraits taken the day before we were admitted to Children's Hospital. She looks healthy, but she did before. I sat across from Dr. Kellner, and he told me that I might doubt him. Have I ever said how much I love this Dr.??? He is so awesome!!!!!!!! But he said..... Anna if her tests come back normal, I won't need to see you until her 24 month appt. I cried...How can I trust in God, but still have fear my baby is going to get sick again?? How can I trust Drs. that can't tell me what she had or if it will ever come back?? We tested her blood every 3 days, then twice a week, then once a week, then twice a month, now once a month. And now you tell me that we will go 4 months without testing her blood??? I have to trust him, I have to trust Him. God almighty!! This is no suprise to Him. Lord God, you gave me this Baby girl to take care of. She is yours.

Selamnesh is now 21# and 30 inches long. She has gone from 6-9 month clothes to 18 month clothes in 2 months. I can hardly change her closet in time. She is the best dressed little girl all thanks to Once Upon a Child.

She had to have 2 shots, and then the blood draw. I actually helped to hold her down for the first time. My heart ached!!!! A few hours later Dr. Kellner called me on my cellphone. Have I said how much I love this Dr.??? He has called me while on vacation, on a Saturday...... He said all of her blood levels are normal!!!!!
