busy, busy, busy

Busy, busy week! Aunt Sara came to visit on Tuesday and Wednesday. We had a picnic with $5 pizza at the park. It was 80 degrees on Tuesday. Then snowed several inches Friday morning! We went to the Clay Center on Wednesday which is always a big hit.



In the meantime, Ted had a really bad "episode" at preschool on Tuesday. They called me to come and get him which they've never done before. He had another one Tuesday afternoon - he's never had 2 in one day. And it took him until Sunday to really start eating again.

We had a glucose tolerance test on Thursday. Ted was a CHAMP! He chugged the sugar stuff, peed in a cup 3 out of 4 times and only cried when they took blood the first time. The following 3 times they just pricked his fingers and then squeezed the blood out. He didn't complain in the least about not eating and even made a new friend in the waiting area. He was thrilled with all the band aids.



Friday we had an EEG to rule out mild seizures. They put about 30 sensors on his head with goopy stuff and tape.



Then they wrapped his head in guaze to hold them on.



Then we got to sit in a chair together and watch cartoons.

Again, he was a great sport. He cried when they put the sensors on and took them off. He said it was "a little bit scary." But he couldn't really see what they were doing to him. So he asked me to take a picture so he could see what he looked like.

We have an appointment with a pediatric endocrinologist at the end of April. I'm hoping to get on the cancellation list and get the ball rolling. I honestly don't think it's anything major. Just want to know and be done with it -manage whatever it is.
