Thanks!
I had no idea anyone was paying attention... it seems kind of slow and jerky to me, because people stop posting whenever I remind them that the point of the thread is not to be nasty.
Yay Haeven! BeanBean has had a few problems with that lately, but it doesn't seem to be his fault; for example, he had diarrhea not too long ago and there was a trail of poop all the way to the potty...
I've discovered that if he's wearing a diaper, he'll tell us before he needs to go because wearing a wet diaper is uncomfortable, but if he's wearing underpants, apparently it doesn't bother him if they're wet. He also needs to be wearing clothing that doesn't snap at the crotch, but that's really difficult because he's so skinny that pants fall right off of him for the most part. I bought an adorable pair of slacks at Gap last year on clearance thinking he'd be able to wear them this year, but even *with* a diaper (and he's not wearing one 90% of the time) they fall right off of him.
He's got a belt, but it doesn't fit in the loops of this pair of pants, which, ironically enough, appear to be only for decoration.
Rachel-- I don't think that would work for BeanBean; he'll come find me regardless of where I am, and I don't think I've offered him morning nursies... well, not since the night that BooBah didn't nurse (she slept through because she wasn't feeling well
). That's an interesting idea that he wants to nurse because his mouth itches... I never thoguht of that. I'll have to take him in. The thing is, as long as BooBah is on the antibiotics, fighting the thrush is something of a lost cause. I've always been fungus-prone.
I got some of BooBah's medical records yesterday, because she needs them for her appointment with the pediatric nephrologists at the closest children's hospital. (They specifically asked me to bring hard copies so that they can be assured that the records and the baby will be there at the same time). I read over them; apparently her (ureteral) reflux is so severe that it's likely to require surgery to correct. Mike and I are amazingly relaxed about that idea. We both feel that if that's all she needs, we'll be totally happy with it. :LOL Plus, if she *does* have the surgery, it means we'll be able to get off of the antibiotics afterwards.
I still think there's something else wrong, and I think I know what it is, but the nephrologist could tell me that it's out of the question, that she'll be fine once her ureters are reimplanted and everything will be fabulous...
raying:
My minivan is fixed! I was in a rental because they had to take apart my door and find out why it was locking itself. They found the problem-- apparently a bolt had been incorrectly tightened over some wires, and one wire was contacting another and shorting it.
: It wasn't in my head-- the door really did lock itself, and it totally wasn't my fault. Thank God for extended warrantees! I'm thrilled, because the rental is, quite frankly, not as nice as our van. It's much more cramped on the inside, and I had a hell of a time getting my niece's carseat in last night. Anyway, I'm going to take a few more minutes here and then get washed up and dressed to go.
