Thank you Vald! That was soooo much easier than the way I've been working with photos. We're back from the heel prick. Today was his 14th stick and hopefully the last. He didn't scream as much as usual. Sorta made me feel bad, like he's immune to the pain now. The phlebotomists even feel bad for him and they were checking his heels today to see which one has been stuck less since he's been there so much.
Well hopefully we're done with that now, but I guess we won't really know till his dr calls. The dr he's been going to is one Madison has never really seen, but I really like her a lot. There are I think 6 peds in the practice and Madison has mostly seen 2, and I really like them, but supposedly they were booked for his 1st check up (though I saw one of them sitting around doing nothing so not sure how true that was). The group works with Children's National Medical Center, which is a teaching hospital, so there are always a few residents too. So when we got to the office for his first visit they asked who I wanted to see and I said any attending would be fine. Not that I have anything again residents, but I might as well stay home if that's who I'm going to see cause they're not much more experienced than Joey. So they gave me this dr and she has really gone out of her way to help us. She calls us the moment she gets his labwork in, even when it's 11pm. And she's had us come in so much, but rather than make appts and pay for each visit she just sends us to the nurse station, has us say she called and wants to see us, then she basically does each exam free. She even goes up to the lab to be sure they get his blood sent out immediately. Very unexpected in a city where it seems like no one is in a hurry to get anything done. They even told me to walk to the car myself when I was discharged from the hospital. I was more than capable, but really, isn't that just the norm to wheel patients out?
I should go do something cause my husband will be home in an hour or so and then want to sleep till 7pm so I know I won't be able to accomplish much then since I'll have to focus on keeping Madison somewhat quiet.
ETA: I forgot to say that since the AP rates came our for November my husband booked our rooms. I now know that he is officially insane cause he must think we have an endless supply of money. He booked a gv room at the GF for 11/1-4 and then CR concierge 11/7-10. I just stared at him in amazement and shock when he told me. He originally had us in the GF and then WL, but he had the dates wrong (had us checking out the 12th, which is Henry's christening in NJ, as you can see he's so interested in that event that he didn't even know the date
) so when he called back they had CR, but only concierge available with the AP rate. Of course it's more than rack would be in a regular room.... He said "How many chances will we have to do this?" I don't know, I'm guessing at least 1 more in the future though. Both resorts are his 2 favorites (WL was my pick but that was thrown out). Honestly I could care less where I stay as long as I'm going, but the GF wouldn't have been my 1st choice. He said they also had the Poly then but he hates the decor so he chose GF. CR I like for its location and room size though. I guess the only upside is that our VB days will be weekdays so we can rent points and only spend $80/night. I guess I won't complain though cause it's the first time he's ever wanted to be extravagant with anything other than electronics so I should take advantage of his lapse in judgement. Just means we'll be paying for it for a long time!

for your DN. I hope it's nothing serious.
!
Yeah, right. Me thinks if we even won that, it would be going for Hawaii, which would be fine. All the more sooner we could save for Disney.
I hope your computer is back to normal.
