Hailey

[Guest guest]

We took Hailey to the allergist a few weeks ago and found out that

she is allergic to oak trees, elm trees and pig weed. She is

starting to show some allergic reaction to dust mites and grass

also. The doctor did not want to put her on allergy shots because of

her size. He said that although she is 3, she looks like she is

about 15-18 months old. He has never put any child on shots that

small and wants to wait until we see the new genetics and after we

go the convention. Yes, I said we are going to the convention. He

wants to see what Dr. H has to say about her before continuing her

testing. He only test for inhalants so far. Her endo wanted to start

her on GH shots when she turned 3 but her father is kind of worried

about the side effects and doesn't want to start her on it right

now. We have know since she was at least 2 and 1/2 that her endo

wanted to start her on it when she turned 3, but he waited until the

last minute. You would think that he would want go to the convention

to find out all he could, but he refuses. Ain't that great?

I managed to get them a pool and she was able to touch the bottom in

it and she took to it like a duck to water. Not scared of it at all.

She swam like a little fish. She would not have anything to do with

a pool that was over her head, but this one she had a blast in. The

only thing bad was that we never could make it work right. So back

to Wal-Mart it went when my mom said to go and get a " real " pool and

she would help me with the payments. That didn't take me long. LOL.

I did start thinking that Hailey would probably not like the bigger

pool since she could not touch the bottom in it. Everything changed

Monday, July 4th when we went to my brother's house to eat dinner

and swim. We put the little floaties on her (they made her arms

stick straight out...LOL) and when she realized that they would hold

her up, she took off swimming. She finally got tired of those when

she found out that she could not stick her head under the water and

insisted that granny take them off. After fighting with her and

telling her that she would drown if she took them off, granny

finally gave her that wish. It didn't take Hailey but a few seconds

and she was swimming straight to granny under water (Only thing is

she does not know how to pick her head up for air yet!). Just wait

until you see her at the pool party at the convention! Just thought

I would tell you the news.
