Gastroenterologist

What a word! Kinda glad that isn't my job title! Today we went to see Dr. Abdullah, he is now known as "the belly doctor" at our house. We used to see him a lot when Ronnie was little and had really bad reflux but now since the reflux has resolved we only see him when I'm concerned about something. Lately I had been concerned about Ronnie's height to weight ratio because he is so skinny! We are in the 42% for height and 32% for weight, both of which are vast improvements from what we had been in the past. My concern was how Ronnie eats, or how little he actually eats. It never seems like its very much or even at all, which is concerning because "the belly doctor" had told me before that if kiddos are still experiencing reflux they might not eat because it still hurts and although because he isn't projectile vomiting doesn't mean that there isn't some reflux still going on. Dr. Abdullah must have though it wasn't necessarily reflux but something else so he sent us for so e blood work, a CBC, CMP, and a vit D level and, also prescribed a medication to boost his appetite because although Ronnie has not an ounce of fat on him, as the summer months come closer and he is more active he doesn't have anything to loose either. Cyproheptadine or periactin is what he prescribed for us to try. I think we might wait till Monday after speech school to start it. I want to talk to miss Brenda about it since she works with kiddos and feeding daily.

The second half of our day was spent gathering information on schools for Evelynne to attend kindergarden. I never knew that it would be such an overwhelming choice. Regular kindergarden, Montessori, Spanish immersion, STEM academy. What every happened to just going to school? Taking your folder, pack of stickers, and a box of Kleenex to the teacher on the first day and that's the start of school. I think that we are going to start with Montessori and if we don't get in (because there is a waiting list) our second choice is maybe the STEM academy, not dead set on that yet though. When Ron gets home from work tonight we will talk about it more and probably make a final choice then. Where did the last 5 years go?

My days off always end way to soon. I am excited for work tomorrow though! So I'm going to lay here watch some mindless tv and hopefully go to sleep early enough that I don't feel like a truck ran me over tomorrow. Oh and enjoy a blue moon.
