check out those chompers

Today Kegan went to the doctor for her 9 month check-up. She has ear infections....imagine that. Guess antibiotics quit working after a month. She's been on Omnicef continuously waiting to get her tubes. Good news though, she is getting ear tubes tomorrow morning so hopefully this will be the last for a long time. It has gotten to where I hardly notice when she has them. I'm curious to see if it'll change the way she acts any. She is really still a super happy baby, sick and all. She is getting a tear duct stent too in her right eye. It'll be a 2 for 1 special. Oh, other news, Kegan is officially bigger than her scrunt cousin Ava who is 16 months old. Kegan weighs in at 19.9 lbs and is 28 inches long. Between the 50-75th percentile for her age.....sweet big girl!


So I tried to get some pictures of her new set of chompers. Hard to get the crazies to settle long enough to take a picture. Aaron calls her little piranha. Her upper teeth are huge even though they have barely broken the skin. Wonder what they'll look like when they are all the way out.


After all that good stuff, some bad news. Madison found out today he has a skin cancer on his neck. The dermatologist biopsied it but feels sure it is cancer. He'll have the official results in about 3 weeks and will then decide the best way to remove it. I feel bad because when this spot first showed up about 4 months ago I really blew it off. I told Madison it wasn't healing becuase he wasn't taking care of it. Only the last month or so I got concerned becuase it was still there. He is usually really great about applying sunscreen, but guess it really can be from all the damage you receive as a child...you know before any of us knew it was so bad. He is after all half albino too, so sure that is part of the problem. His fair skinned daughter will never leave the house without a hat or sunscreen. Kinda scary to have skin cancer at 30 yrs old. Please keep him in your prayers.
