Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday was a pretty rough day. We took TJ to the dermatologist because he had a rash all over his face and neck. We were told he has eczema, which is easily treated. However, the dermatologist also noticed that TJ had 2 extra digits on each of his hands and told us it would be very easy and not painful to remove those extra digits. My husband and I were a little taken a back but the doctor told us it was very simple and not to worry. 30 horrible minutes later, the doctor had finished the procedure. I ended up having to wait in the waiting room for most of it because I felt like I was going to throw up. After the procedure was finished, the doctor never came back to tell us how to take care of his hands. Therefore, we went home and called our pediatrician and told her we were FREAKING out and needed to see her right away. She let us come in early, assured us that he would be o.k., and told us how to take care of his hands. TJ seems to be over the whole ordeal but it will take a long time for my husband and I to recover.
He did not sleep well last night, I think that his hands may have been hurting him and he was having a hard time settling down. However, by 5:00am he was a happy camper and seems to be doing much better.
Funny how such a little person can wiggle his way into our hearts. Both my husband and I were so upset and certainly love that little boy!

I am so sorry you, Tim and TJ had to go through that experience. I was almost crying hearing about it. How awful, but it sounds like he is doing great now! You and Tim are such wonderful people and TJ is such a lucky boy! I miss you and can't wait to see you and finally meet TJ!
Take care. Thanks for blogging.
Everyone asks how you are doing.
