Man can this week be over already?
Yesterday we all got up, and went to take H and L to the dentist. They both did very well, they liked the dentist. L had perfect teeth, no cavities. H on the other hand................. She has 7 teeth that need to be filled or crowned. Her three front teeth are rotting,two of these they will do nothing about the other was already loose, and the root was exposed and it was infected so they opted to pull it.SO this morning, we got up to head back to the Dentist, for H's tooth to be pulled, and have one crown put on(they will space out the procedures over three appointments). We also had G's teeth checked and he did very well. A little background on H, her enamel did not form on her teeth correctly so that is why she has so many problems, when she was 2 1/2 she had her first pulpotimy done and a year later another, and a crown, and a few cavities. We are hopeful that her permanent teeth will be better.
After the dentist, we took H to school, and then came home so G could take a nap, then off to the GI Dr. This was the appointment I was dreading. Well we went in, and as I suspected, they are going to do a GI endoscopy on him. I am hopeful that with this procedure they will figure out what is going on. If this procedure doesn't figure out the problem, then they will put a tube in his nose that will measure the amount of reflux episodes he is having in a 24 hour period. I asked how will we get him to keep the tube in his nose without pulling it out to which he responded, I hope he is of an age that you can tell him not to pull it out and he wont. WHAT!?!?! I looked a G then I looked at the DR and I said he is 19 months old. He said well we can tape boards to his arms so he cant bend them to get to his nose. AGAIN WHAT?!?!!? Are you kidding me? Can I send him to your house for those 24 hours? He said he has done about 10,000 of these procedures, and most of the time it works out fine. But he added ideally we would do this as an infant or an older child. So I am thinking well we were here when he was an infant.Now I know he waited in the hopes that he would out grow the reflux, but I was confused. He also said that the reflux could be a food allergy, now I have 2 problems with that theory. First we have been tested and know that we have food allergies, and we avoid those. He said the skin test and the rasp test are not always reliable food allergy indicators. WHAT?!?! Then why so we do them? Second problem, the child doesn't eat, so how can it be food? Let me say I do like this DR and I trust him, I was just in shock. Anyway we left feeling unsure about all that is going on with G. My ultimate goal is to get him to eat, to so that we need to figure out what the heck is going on with him. SO pray for us that we can get him all taken care of and get him eating. He cant live on formula for his whole life.
After The GI Dr we headed for Girl Scouts, I was so not in the mood for this today, I was stressed and just not ready, but we made it through, and got home. I am supposed to work tomorrow from 9am-2pm but I have no one to watch G, L and H will both be at school, but I cant find anyone to watch G. I have asked anyone I thought could do it leaving out those friends who's children will be at school them selves, no one. Then I called our babysitter, she has class, but gave me the number of a friend, she has pink eye. SO now I am left with no one. I don't know what I am going to do. I am at a loss.
Well I guess that is all for today, wanna trade weeks?
Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come..............

Do you have a friend who could maybe recommend a babysitter that they use? Some daycares will let you use drop in service also.
I feel for you on the GI test. My monkette had to have that when she was a wee one and it was awful. Just try to remember that the end result will make it worth it.
