He's fine...ish

Ok then. CRAZY day! Of course after not sleeping. we were late for the CT. But they are great, so it was ok. Jack was so cute. When we got to CT he was fine, then he decided, he was NOT in the mood. He got kind of scared, but once I talked to him, and told him he was ok, and I was going to stay right there with him, he was fine. He was still a little leary, but did great! I brought his koala, he thought that was fun. And the tech let the bear come along for the ride!! :)

So I asked to see the CT, and it looked to me, like his ventricles were enlarged, so I went to NS, and wanted to compare from last time till now. We got a resident, and she came in and said, everything looked the same. And "Has he been symptomatic?" Well, No, but last time his shunt wasn't working AT ALL, and he had NO symptoms. I told her about the prenatal HPE (shouldn't have), and the MRI's, and how we only found his shunt was failing, because of the repeat MRI. So I asked her, if I could see them to compare. We went back, and were looking at the two. They did look the same, so I was relieved. Then she says...are you ready for this? "It looks like he has LOBAR prosencephal, a very mild case." Seriously. I was quick to inform her, he did NOT have HPE. I don't remember if I corrected her pronunciation-haha-and then told her about the holodienencephaly, which of course she knew nothing about.

*sigh*

So once "school" was over...we left. Goodness, why do I have to know more than the Dr? So CT scan is fine. Just a big head. :)

So we get home, and about 10 minutes after we walk in the door, he was just walking, and tripped and smashed his forehead into the corner of the wall.

*sigh*

HUGE goose egg. SCREAMING RANTING WIGGLING. He carried on for about an hour. I was scared to death he had done something worse. He SCREAMED ever time I tried to put a cold towel on it. He finally calmed down, thankfully. This was all before 10.

So just before 11, I get a bunny 911, and have to run to the mall. Then we go to get Em, and rush home to get some lunch before I have to be at work at 1.

Around 1:30, just as I'm taking bunny out to the pasture, DH calls.

me: Hello?
him: Do we have any steri- strips?
me: silent
him: Hello?
me:...why
him: Jack cut his chin, and I think I can see fat. I didn't see blood, cuz he was covered in beans and franks. I think he needs stitches.

Jack had fallen off a chair, and banged his chin on the way down. So I had a half hour, before I need to bring Bunny back, so I ran home to assess the damage for myself. Um ya, he needs stitches.

We decided to just bring him to the new IHC ER across the street. They were great. But of course I had to tell them what to do. They were talking about using a papoose board. I suggested just making a baby burrito(as Emma calls him) with a nice warm blanket, and he would do better. Which of course he did.

4 stitches, and 6 steri strips later, and only about an hour and a half, I was back at work.

I really don't know how you mom's who work full time do it. My hat is off to you.

This picture I took this morning, he is so proud to show you...oh, and the steri-strips? Ya, he took those of before he even got out of bed. *sigh*


This picture... was just after our bunny 911. I looked in my rear view mirror, and he waved and smiled at me, it was so cute, I grabbed the camera! How cute is he...really now...


Let's hope today, is a little less eventful *knocking on wood*
