The Owen and I left at 9am for his 9:30 Dr visit. I scheduled it to talk about his diaper issues (which he has had for some time). We had already eliminated apple juice, tried Kool-Aid, and a few other things the Dr recommended on our last visit. We have a very fun pediatrician so the kids get excited to see him. He felt around the Owen's belly and sent us to get an x-ray and ultrasound to check for an obstruction.
We had to go pick up Caleb first. Then arrived at the walk-in radiology place at lunchtime - perfect! We waited about 45 minutes while the Owen read Time magazine and Caleb read Car & Driver. They were comparing various pictures and competing to see whose magazine had the coolest ones. The Owen may have won with the child bullfighter - "Hey look that kid has a sa-word". They then went on to entertain a baby, play with their happy meal toys - which involved a squirrel's tail, the Owen took the opportunity to loudly explain to me about the butt-tail and how you stick a pencil in it for the toy to work. Lovely. Thanks McDs for such an educational toy.
The technician called out for the Owen and he turns to me and says "HEY SHE SAID OWEN". And stood there as if there would be several Owens in the room. His main concern was that he didn't want anyone to see any of his body parts. He put on the gown, excuse me "robe, mom". And we went in to the xray room where the super nice technician girl let him put his blankie over his belly for privacy.
Caleb and I waited in the hall and we heard the Owen chatting her up about all the eqiupment. I'm just relieved he didn't cause a malfunction by pressing buttons that he shouldn't have. I asked the Owen if he wanted to stop and get a treat and he said "and Caleb too? Cuz he did a good job, right?". And for that nice long morning we had some Dunkin' to absorb the grease from the McD lunch.
I am not worried, yet. I am glad we may finally get some answers and am hopeful that the fix is relatively easy. Your prayers are always appreciated. We expect to hear from the Dr. this afternoon. My hubs is picking up KWB at 3pm so we don't have to turn around and go. I still need to pack for my scrap night and boy could I ever use one.
Monday is a fun giveaway day here so.. have a great weekend!!
The End.
