Ears
Quincy’s quarterly checkup with Dr Mellon was last week. One of her T-tubes is out, and she still has a tiny hole in her eardrum that we hope will close up before it has the opportunity to get infected. I had to take a photo...that teeny tiny piece of plastic sure is expensive, but it has made a world of difference in Quincy’s life over the past few years. She has regained most of her hearing back. We hope to be tube free from now on. Her other tube should be out at the next visit. If it doesn’t push out on its own, dr Mellon will remove it to avoid too much scar tissue build up on Quincy’s ear drums.
Eyes
At her well visit, Q was DELIGHTED to discover she is near sighted and will be getting glasses, soon. She’s been pooping the lenses out of sunglasses for years and wearing the frames as an accessory, so no doubt, she is thrilled to hear she gets the real deal.
Mouth:
She is losing molars like crazy. We finally told her a couple weeks ago about the tooth fairy and Santa. She is furious with us for spoiling the magic and ending her childhood.
Nose:
Quincy took a basketball to the face at the end of practice recently and had an epic bloody nose. I really cannot believe a nose could bleed so much. We went through half a roll of paper towels on the drive home.
Legs:
She was also really proud of how well she handled two other b-ball contact related injuries. Her leg doesn’t look very bad, but the way she describes the collision with a set of fingernails over a ball explains why she often runs with her hands guarding her face.
Arms:
Really, 5th grade girls basketball is sort of a blood bath. She came home Saturday with an abrasion down her forearm from taking a fall in the game.
Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes!
Our front deck walkway (and the rest of NWA) is a sheet of ice. Quincy ran out front to get her backpack from the van, and ate it pretty hard. Poor girl!
But hey...she’s getting glasses and she’s stoked!
