I took the kids to their pediatrician on Monday for their 30 day well child check. He has been their doctor since birth, so it was good to talk with him -- mostly because we barely knew anything about their previous medical history. He gave me the scoop on Josh's shunt -- of course he isn't a neurologist, but he does keep in close contact with the neurologist on Josh's situation -- anyway -- when the shunt was put in (when Josh was 4 months old), they coil up enough tubing that hopefully they'll never have to go back in, and as he gets bigger and taller, it will uncoil itself. And he also said that he's never before had a patient with a shunt that had it taken out. So I feel much better about the whole thing -- I still want to talk to Dr. Nagel, but that will have to wait until July (!).

Tonight we have a class on Seizures and Neurological Disorders from 6-9 and tomorrow Mom & Harold arrive from Lawton, Oklahoma to stay through Monday afternoon. It's all crazy/busy around our house right now.




Favorite time of day:
Cuddling with my little boy before bedtime.
