I scheduled an appointment with my primarty care physician for today at 11am. We got there with about 10 minutes to spare ... and waited... and waited...
and waited...
...and waited some more...
As you can see - both Addy & Alex were a little stir crazy...
...before we got called back about 11:30am...
I talked with Dr. Stashefsky about my tummy tuck concerns and my antidepressants. He agreed that it was necessary to up my dosage... so I am hoping & praying that does the trick!
He really didn't know what to say about my tummy so he called Dr. Kole, my surgeon (whom just so happens to be in the same building, up one floor) and asked him if he could squeeze me in. He could! So off I took, carting the kids to the next appointment with me!
Luckily Alex was fairly well-behaved most of the time...
... after this 'baba' - he promptly passed out :) (This was his first time really holding it!)
While Addy, bless her lil heart, tried her best to be patient while mommy was getting looked at...
Addy with her "drumsticks" (tongue depressors) LOL!
I was looked over by Dr. Kole. At first he and my doctor thought they would be dealing with a seroma (fluid build-up); but as it turns out - it was an absess (a pocket of puss (infection) in my belly). He numbed me and drained out 2cc's (which I would guess is about a couple tablespoons) of putrid looking gunk, wrote me a script for an antibiotic, answered a few of my questions and sent me on my merry way.
I have another appointment with both Dr. S & Dr. Kole in a couple months...
We stopped at McD's for lunch & grabbed daddy a sandwich and took it to him at work. We spent a few minutes there with him before coming home and getting ready for naptime.
Just as we were about to get in bed I heard the ice cream truck. Addy has known "the ice cream man" for a while now - but we've never gotten anything from a truck... so I had her pick a treat out today!
She picked "crayons!"
Just as we were about to have our treats Mr. Mailman came by with our mail and FUN packages! She just adores Denny!!
"mama! look at all these 'mailbox goodies!!!' "
Lovin' her crayon popsicle :)
doing what she usually does with her popsicles... setting them down and letting them melt all over everything as opposed to actually EATING them! LOL!
okay... "Little Brother"... it's naptime mister! ;)
What a day it's been! Long & exhausting! It's time for a nap... I just wish lil mister got that memo! (He's still hyper in his swing since he slept most of the afternoon...)
