GM, the following should help.
Morgan has no vision faults. One wart on right knee treated with sulpher and cleared in 2 1/2 wks. Successfully treated for eczema at 18 months. Toe nails curl under when they get long and will grow into the skin if not clipped. Hangnails on the big toes are frequent. Her breath in the morning is pretty nasty, mentioned this to her doctor who gave her a remedy, it worked for about a month, but has returned. Weather seems to have no bearing on the problem. There is a fear of bugs and of being laughed at. She has very sensitive feelings. As mentioned previously if you correct her or raise your voice at her she cries, very easily. No reocurring dreams that I'm aware of. I just asked her favorite color because I've never heard her mention it and she says she doesn't know. When I asked her to pick one she said purple, although I think it would be different in 5 minutes. She loves milk and dislikes almost all cooked veggies, she'll eat sweet red peppers and carrots raw.
She loves to snuggle. For a three year old it's unreal how easily you can reason with this little girl.
I'd like to start her childhood problems with my pregnancy since it's the only other problem she's ever had. Because of my age I agreed to a CVS prenatal test which resulted in all of the cells being as tetraploid (having 92 chromosones instead of 46), there was not one normal cell in the sample that was tested. These pregnancies almost always terminates themselves, if not result in severe retardation. The doctor that pioneered the test told me he and his partner had done about 19,500 of these tests and got this result 20 times. Half of those women terminated their pregnancies and he would not give me the results of the other 10, said he'd have to pull all of those files. Needless to say the first half of my pregnancy was extremely stressful. I waited another month and had an amnio which showed everything was fine. Since her normal delivery there have been virtually no illnesses except for 3 or 4 unexplained fevers running around 102.5. They last a day or two and disappear without interference. She's had no vaccinations, operations and just 2 weeks ago fell off of a chair and needed a few stitches in the back of her head. The symptoms where first noticed about a year ago (age 2 1/2) as a gentle snore and have progressed to apnea. I am only assuming it is her adenoids. While her tonsils are slightly enlarged as were my other kids at her age, I've seen bigger. With my older daughter the surgeon that removed her adenoids told me they were quite enlarged and since their removal her apnea has disappeared. Morgan's sleep seems remarkable undisturbed. While she gasps, snores, snorts and blows bubbles she doesn't seem to be disturbed by any of it. It's the rest of us that it makes crazy. Family history: paternal grandfather had a heart attack in his late 50's, maternal grandfather had cancer of vocal cords. Father has high cholesteral, mother had adenoids and tonsils removed at 18 months, prone to cysts and chronic sinus problems. I hope this helps. Let me know if more is needed. Thanking you in advance for your time, I do appreciate it. DP
