So it's been one of those days. The kind that need no explanation when you've seen my face! But so I can remember that you do survive, I am recounting the events for personal reflection. Bear with me blog stalkers. : )
The morning started out okay. I had to jump up and get the day going quickly since we had a dr. appt for Abby. I fed the baby and Avery watched him while I showered. We did breakfast and our devotional. I am having the kids memorize 1 Cor. 13. Yep, the whole chapter. Then we started school and I laid the baby down for his morning nap. Well, I put him to bed a little prematurely trying to rush things. I still have wet hair at this point. So I get him back up and put him in the jumperoo and we do more school. 30 min later I lay him down again and he goes to sleep. Then I have Abby do school in the bathroom while I dry and flat iron my hair. I got so distracted helping her with phonics that I burned a section of my hair off with the hair dryer! O my gosh! I felt sick to my stomach. I lost at least 2 or 3 inches of hair on that section. I have never done that before. Time is ticking away and the baby wakes up. But I'm not done getting ready. So Avery holds him while he cries for me.... then blah, blah, blah. Fast forward to the dr. We go in for a follow up to her hearing test. She had tested for mild hearing loss in her right ear. The dr. thinks that it is the result of occasional fluid build up. So on a whim I asked him to check her tonsils and adenoids since the orthodontist is concerned about the bone changes in her mouth from her non-stop mouth breathing. The dr feels it's allergies like I do. Her tonsils turn out to be tiny. He comments that means her adenoids should be very small. He scopes her and he says, "well it looks like I'm wrong. She is almost 100% obstructed!" He lets me look and I can't believe it. How long has my baby suffered from something a doctor can fix? I feel awful. So we schedule surgery for Monday. Abby has to have a finger stick in the lab. I am holding Ben, he's asleep. She gets her finger stuck. Doesn't like it and afterwards throws up in the lab trash can and I have to carry her out to the car because she is going to faint. Needless to say, it's been one of those days. I need chocolate. : )
