Looking for my mother of the year award?? Where is it?

Kate had her 6 month check up today. Oddly, she is 2 lbs smaller then Drew was at this age. She seems bigger? She is in the 75th % with her height and 30th with weight. She has a ear infection (that is where the award comes in) and has some weirdo skin thing going on. I see tubes in our future...The pedi recommended stopping the regular formula and trying the liquid gold (Nutrimegen). Huh? Sound familiar? Drew had the same darn issue. Her skin is just super dry and peely. Perhaps its a milk protein allergy. THEN, she also has petichea all over her torso. Gawd. Really? So we drew blood to make sure all was good there. If it is we will likely NOT go to a specialist like we did for Drew. Petichea is the hallmark sign of leukemia. We are not worried- Drew had the same thing and we went to Childrens and had a very detailed work up with the oncologist. He still gets it when he gets sick. Our pedi was going to do some research with her colleagues to get some ideas. Apparently Kate likes to be just like her brother. Copy Kate.
