The Relle's Hit 3 Doctors By Noon

We all headed out this morning to our different doctor appointments. I had to see Dr. Phan, the dentist (yes -I had a very tiny cavity that she said was probably caused by Jack taking all my calcium-we'll be sure to fill that before insurance changes September 1st because we love her and she isn't covered on our new plan). After my appointment I raced to the Presby Pediatric Imaging Office to meet Nick and Jack for his Upper GI. By the time I got there....they were already finished!!

After the doctor listened to Jack's symptoms she decided that they only needed to do the Upper GI portion of the test and not the lower Bowel portion. We haven't heard back from Dr. Guetersloh but the radiologist said that Jack's anatomy looks fine and that it is probably just some reflex issues...we'll know more once we hear from the doctor.

Here is a video of Jack during the procedure. He got strapped in, drank 1 oz. of barium, then for 20 minutes they recorded the path that the barium took through his system. Wub Nub duck stood in for Wub Nub frog....we are still waiting for a replacement after the dropping on the labor room floor incident. Nick said he did great and even fell asleep for some of it...it was like a giant swaddle that rocked.(If you want to hear the sound from the video pause the music on the Player at the right)



Since we were right there we went into Dr. Campbell's office (My OB) to get some vitamin prescriptions since I am going to be able to breastfed longer now that I am staying at home. The receptionist, Ashley, has always hooked us up with Enfamil formula samples for our supplementing was there. She asked if she could hold Jack so I replied with in trade for free samples....before we knew it we were pulling the Pathfinder up the backdoor and she loaded it up with cans, to go packages, pre-maid bottles, diapers, wipes, lotion, and diaper bags. It was sooo much! With my supply disappearing more and more daily....we'll be needing tons of formula to make it til he turns one, so it is a HUGE help. We'll be sure to send her a nice thank you letter. Check out the stash below.






Now we are back at home enjoying Dad's last weekday of the Summer with us. We are sad that he has to go back but are grateful that he will be getting home earlier in the day than he has been. Wow, this is a long post. Jack will be expecting a ton of comments from his fans to let him know ya'll are checking up on him. :)
