Got the first dose of the H1N1 on Thursday and we we back to the Dr the very night day with a double ear infection. I guess the blood in her ears from itching them should have clued me in a couple weeks ago on that...but it's been said before and published that our preemies had super high pain tolerance which makes me nuts, b/c she could be in lots of pain with her ears for this example and I have no flipping idea! She's on meds now and all will be fine.
She does have a cold to go along with the ear infection and her nasal drip is causing her cough to sound like she smokes a pack a day.

Nina is getting PT once month and OT once a month...not sure if this is helping...it's more of tracking at this point. She is prefers crawling up the steps when she needs to be working on building strength in her legs. We are on her to be strong! Be a big girl! Walk up those stairs! Her preschool teacher says she is off balance a lot, but is right in with the kids for most of the non- physical stuff. Nina's Gymboree teacher told me that she would probably catch up by the time she is 5. I wonder why she picked 5. Maybe her magic ball told her? What does it mean to catch up anyway?
I would love Nina to be able to hang out on the playground and not get pushed to the side by the kids younger than her to make their way up the steps to the slide... They tell me she needs to get stronger. OK, but I want to kick the asses of these 24 month old that zoom on past her as she tries so hard to climb up the steps...Guess I really want to kick the mom's asses that let their kids cut in line and then ask me how old she is and I tell them and they look at me like I have three heads.
