Coming from Chopsticks: Mya's Doctors Appt

     Im sorry that it has taken me so long to blog her appt! We went and saw her pediatrician on Friday and he loves her!!!!
     The dr actually threw her right into a fit!! He wanted to see how possessive she is of her food and when he took away her goldfish, she threw herself on the ground and kicked and screamed!! He said, " I like her, they didnt break her will!!!"
     He looked at her palate and is starting the referral process for Mya to see the cleft team! When I asked him, if it would be better to go to Children's Hospital, he said that he would refer us anywhere that we wanted but that he had full faith in the cleft team here. So we are going to get an eval and decide from there!
     Mya is overall, wonderfully adjusted!!!! She acts so comfortable and like she has been here the whole time!!! She is such a spicy dragon!! This is the year of the dragon in China and she is spicy!!!! We love her spunk!!!! She hasnt thrown a fit like she did in China, where I couldnt even find the words to describe it, but she has thrown some smaller fits but nothing we couldnt handle:)
     Mya had her first Sunday at church and was quite popular!! So many praying for her and she is so loved!! Its so amazing how much love that everyone can have for a child that they dont even know!!!!
     I have a problem changing someone elses children's dirty diapers. I gag and carry on. I was so concerned how I would be with Mya and that situation, but Mya is mine and I have NO problems changing MY baby girls diaper, or helping with what I call a palate emergency when food or anything else is coming out her nose!!!!! LOL
    Mya is so amazing and we are so blessed!!! She is sleeping somewhat better! Still some night terrors but getting better each night!
    For some reason, I guess a mother's intuition, I felt her Tuesday morning before getting out of bed and I never do that because she is not a very sound sleeper, anyway, I felt her and she was pretty warm so I took her temp and she had a 100.6 temp. No other symptoms except LOTS of drooling and chewing on her fingers, so I do believe its her teeth!   She hasnt been cranky or anything, just drooling...LOTS!!!!!!!
     We ended up going to the dr and seeing the NP. Mya had a 103.4 temp and still no other symptoms. Because we have no history on her, they had to check for everything. The NP said we will have to check her urine and I asked how to do that and she told me that they would have to put a catheter in.....WHAT????????????????? I lost it!!!! I was crying and Mya was screaming! Then...blood drawn and a nasal swab...IT WAS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! Mya was so brave, I was so proud of her!
     We took the labs to the hospital and the NP called me after hours to give me the results..Mya's white blood cell count was 16,000 and they put her on amoxicillan.
    We are about a week into the medicine and she is doing great!!! Starting Friday, no fever, just very very cranky, and Saturday, she was perfect!!!!!
     We are doing so well and thank you so much for all of your prayers and thoughts!!!
     Here are some pictures from being at home!!!!
