GI appt

S had a GI appt today to deal with the blood in his stool. The dr thinks it is a polyp that ruptured and that's where the blood came from. Pretty much said to lay off the apples, bananas and rice to avoid constipation and if there is another episode then we'll need to do a colonoscopy. It was a HORRIBLE appt and I felt so bad forcing him to get a rectal exam. He is just so scared of doctors since having the kidney reflux and testing that came with that illness. He was better after getting a sticker and getting the arm band taken off before we left.

Baby J is now constipated. I think it's because of my pain pills I am still on. I cut back on them today so hopefully he'll get better. I took ibuprofen today hoping that would help the pain but it didn't relieve it as much as the other pills do. I can't believe that J is almost 3 weeks old and I am still in this much pain. I have another followup on Monday to check it out.

We had dinner delivered tonight by a MOPS mom. It was YUMMY fixings for tacos/burritos. Having dinners delivered sure helps me spend more time with the older 2 and takes the stress off the evenings.

Baby J had another bath tonight. L and S came in to help. They bathes Mama while I bathed J. S scrubbed my back and L rinsed me off - what wonderful kids I have!!

Off to bed to rest while I can before Baby J needs another feeding :- )
