More dr appointments

Finally after Lucas got well I sat down with the pediatrician to discuss the fact that Lucas's constant complaining of throat and tummy pain had been going on for a year now. It started off random and intermittent, then has progressively gotten to be constant. 4 mos ago we put him back on prevacid and that has not made a difference. We upped his dosage of it last week, but its hard to tell if something like that works while he is in the middle of a stomach virus, so it is past due to go back to the pediatric gastroenterologist. i used to frequent their office when Lucas was a baby but have not been down there since he turned 1.

I really just want to know WHAT, if anything is bugging my baby anymore, and I know that bloodwork and probably an endoscopy is imminent, but it must be done. I am glad to have the appt for tomorrow at 11:20 still a lot nervous about the outcome, so we will see how it goes.

It's gotta get better

It just has to. And I think it is. But gosh what a long haul for my little baby boy. Nothing like a knock down drag out stomach bug to take out an active 5 yr old for 6 days. yeesh. It almost came down to going to get IV fluids, but the mention of that made him miraculously want to drink and drink and drink his Gatorade, thank goodness. Lets hope that is the last of that nasty nonsense for a bit. He has missed 4 days of school. he has 3 full days and a half day next week and thats it, Spring Break. his Kindergarten days are numbered, I do not want him to miss anymore. Not to mention the mounds of of make up work and homework that come with missed days of school. Which really means for ME. I would so never dream of homeschooling, omg. That would be pure torture for him and I. That is all I know : ) So I am exhausted. My neck is back out of whack and I will be needing a muscle relaxer for that soon. As lovely as it sounds, esp after this week, they really make me feel icky, I only take one as a last resort. And my neck only goes out these days from extreme stress. Sunday night I also had hives and my face is extra broken out. So, it does have to end. Focusing on more nice weather days ahead and pining for June, when I will get to see my sister and those little girlies again. I am trying to be glad for my mom and John that they are going this week, but I have not been successful : ( I am too jealous from missing them so much.SIGH
