We met with my doctor to discuss Mei Lin's growth, and for just some general information on good drugs/bad drugs. Since she is under the age of 2, he did not recommend that we give her any decongestants, cough medicines, or benedryl (all sedating drugs), as they have been connected with SIDS in children all the way up to the age of 4. I thought I would pass that on to all of those "in the process" of adopting.
He was impressed with her growth, as she is developing at a really good rate (in comparison to most children adopted from China). Although I was off the mark on saying that she is in the 50-75 percentile for her height. She is actually in the 25 Percentile.
I asked him for some prescriptions for just in case situations. And set up another appointment with him a week and a half after we get back, and an appointment with a pediatrician on the following week. IWK is setting us up for an assessment of her cleft palate in January.
On another note...our agency called last night to tell us that our Notice of Coming (TA) will be here next week! Big sigh of relief!
Just think...this time next week, we can actually say "We are leaving next week!"
