Update:

I know it has been awhile since I last posted. Since my last post things have kinda got back to normal but other things came up and just never had time to blog. Just this past week Blayne had his 18 mo old check up at the dr's well we waited almost 45 mins. before being taken back to be seen. Once we finally got back there they did his weight, height, head circumference and all that stuff. He is in the 25th percentile for both height and weight and in 15th percentile for his head circumference. With his height to weight ratio he is dead on in the middle which is great! He's not too big and not too short just yet lol. Well after the dr came in she asked if I had any questions or concerns well back at Kadena the dr's never really did anything when I would bring up the subject of his stool being so runny and soft all the time. This time I thought I'd just get the same reaction but no she was throughly concernced. Since Blayne has been born his stools have always been real runny and soft. Almost like he has (i don't like to say this) diarrhea. So she asked about his eating habits and drinking habits and all that. Asked me if he always has runny or stuffy noses.....well of course he's always got some type of runny or stuffy nose. So she got a bit concerned and has referred us to an allergy doctor. She told us that sometimes with food allergies it can cause loose stools instead of hives or a rash on the body so since there are many different food allergies in both sides of our families she definitely wants him to be tested. SO needless to say I was relieved and not worried b/c soon we will have an answer. After we saw the doctor she needed us to go get his blood drawn and tested for anemia and lead. Then head over to Immunizations....well I was not ready for all that poking and screaming but I figured we'd have to do it sometime anyways so get it done now.

So we headed to the Lab and he needed to find another person to help hold Blayne's arm while he did the blood draw. So we waited a few mins. went back and he sat in my lap and then the two lab techs took his arm and prepped it. Well at the first initial pinch he screamed but once he looked and saw the blood flow into the little tube to go into the other tube they use he was quiet and looked stunned at how something was coming out of his arm and going into a tube. He did very well and I was surprised. So then when we got done there we went over to the Immunizations and checked in. He was getting 2 shots today thought no biggie he does well. As soon as we went to the back he screamed like I never heard him before. We pulled his pants down and the guy held his legs as I tried to distract him but it was not working. I felt my heart drop to the floor with pain for my lil one. After the two shots I quickly picked him up and soothed him but he was just not happy. (also, he never had a nap that day and it was going on 4:15p.m.) So as soon as that was done we headed out and before we left the parking lot he was asleep.

Well that was the highlight of my week. NOT! lol

Not much else going on other than Justin finished ALS and went back to normal work. So hopefully we will be in full speed next week and return to our normal everyday routines.
