We're going for 4 straight days at the doctor's office...

Morgan quit using her left hand last week. She keeps it in a fist. It's not painful to her, and she'll open it if you ask her to. However, she doesn't normally open it unless asked. We've taken her to doctors the past couple days, and the doctors both said that there is no injury, no signs of nerve damage, and they don't know why she's doing it. The doctor today seemed to think it's a phase she'll just stop doing. He thought maybe she had a minor injury at some point and got in the habit of doing it to avoid pain.

Mom was relieved to hear that the doctor didn't think it is serious (although it still seems odd.) Mom laid down with Morgan as soon as they got home from the doctor for Morgan's nap, and Seth came in and said his ear hurt. Mom said she'd give him medicine in a minute. When she came out, he said it had popped and stuff came out. His ear was covered in gooey stuff and it appears that his eardrum burst. Seth has an appointment first thing in the morning.

Sydney has her 5 month check-up Wednesday morning. We hope to avoid doctors for a while after that!
