The ENTs nurse left me a msg while I was at the luncheon saying to bring him by this afternoon but they close at 3. So I hauled ass to pick up Hayden and now we’re here waiting.
I’m so happy she called me back.

tgrimes, how did it go? Any apologies? Have you started the drops? I’m sorry that they’re being jerks. I’m glad you stood your ground.

So H just did coolest thing.
He was trying to tell me something and I couldn't figure it out. He kept repeating a word that sounded like "com-na". I could not get it so after looking at me like I was an idiot he tried slowing it down and said "commt-na". I was like "ohh did you see a "COPTER?" (helicopter). He shakes his head and says "just..... lady bug" OHHHHHHH you saw a carpenter!! Pretty clever word association lol. (if that doesn't make sense I think you guys might call them sow bugs?)

He still has a cough, snot and fluid coming out of his ear. Yuck. He at least ate a little food though, which he hasn't been interested in the past several days. I only heard him have one coughing fit in the MOTN so that's a little progress. |

tgrimes , how did it go? Any apologies? Have you started the drops? I’m sorry that they’re being jerks. I’m glad you stood your ground. The ENT did the swab, put in drops and suctioned out his nose for me. He got about a foot of snot in the tube. It was impressive. By the time we got back to the house he had thick snot down to his lips again. Yuck. The people I spoke to on the phone were in the other office. The nurse was for a different doctor. My dr and his nurse said they will always work us in. We're practically family now. Lol. I mean, I'm single handedly keeping him in business so.... |

Happy Thur! Yesterday I wfh and went full on Mari kondo on Os room. All his long sleeve shirts are stored along with out grown items. Then I moved all the baby stuff to D’s room. This weekend we are going to Ikea for Os big boy furniture (all he needs is a dresser at this point so I can move the baby dresser in the nursery).

The ENT's office sent me a survey to fill out. Boy will they regret that decision...

It’s such a beautiful day. I had to run a couple of errands this morning so we’ve been out and about. My mom is coming over tonight after work and we are going to make dinner and take the boys to the park. My H is going out to watch the NFL draft so it will be nice to have some company.

I'm so frustrated. Ms gtube site looks terrible. It's not eczema.
We have been going back and forth with lots of people this week and have sort of exciting news. We have second opinion scheduled with a private practice GI. He comes highly recommended by numerous people and got us in next Wednesday. I think I'm switching to him no matter what happens at this point. We also spoke to Ms surgeon who placed the tube. We love him and he is just so great at talking to us quickly. His opinion is this time site needs to go ASAP. He was not kept in the loop and thinks these issues have gone on far too long. He is pretty confident Monty won't need a new one but regardless this site has had too many infections and it's been too many antibiotics. He sent his recommendations to our GI so now we are doing a log of water intake this weekend and then deciding what to do. We are going to fight to get it pulled. In the meantime they still haven't given me a treatment plan for today or until then for how to treat the current issue. I personally think it's infected and/or he's reacting now to the eye drops we are treating it with. I had a mini meltdown this morning.

I'm sorry sarahwithanh. I can't imagine having to deal with and figure all that stuff out. I'm glad you are getting a second opinion and hopefully having the surgeon on board will make everything move quickly. |

So they saw the pictures and think it's fungal now. Which makes sense since they had a short sighted idea to keep putting antibiotics on his site. So they sent in 2 scripts and told me to send pictures in a few days so Monday I will send an update and then go from there. The thing that is frustrating and I'm sure you can relate tgrimes is they keep acting like it's no big deal but 15+ gtube infections with over 20 courses of antibiotics in his life at 2.5 years old isn't nothing. Plus cellulitis is actually pretty dangerous. A lot of times people are hospitalized for it. It's just common with gtubes so they brush it aside. |

I'm sorry sarahwithanh, but I hope these new scripts do what you need! tgrimes, give them hell! They deserve it!!! Quiet morning. L's hand look a lot better. poor kid is sleeping in his winter mittens though. DH said his new Bolero should be here tomorrow so fingers crossed that it does come before nap time. This is what it looks like.  The hands are enclosed but its only for when he's super itchy and it's keeping him up at night. I wouldn't put him in it all day. I also ordered some gloves that are mesh for summer days when he's being itchy with a sleeve that goes above the elbow. But they are best for shorts and tank weather because he'll just sit and scratch all day if I let him. Eczema is for the birds! |

This is adorable! I had to look up sow bug. I call them roly polies myself, but I also know them as pill bugs. But DS2 was really excited about one out on the patio a couple of days ago, too! |

Hi ladies. I've been MIA but lurking all week. It's been an emotional rollercoaster the past few days. The tldr version is that we had saw some potential abnormalities during our 20 week scan but after a couple follow ups, things are ok. I'll post more on the private board.
