The Laundry List

I’m doing this post more as a reminder to myself than for anyone else, but I’m trying to keep track of all of the little ailments/issues JJ has had. I’m going to try my best and put them in chronological order from earliest to most recent. Here goes…

Jaundice, tummy bulge (hernia), suspected thrush, suspected eye issues, digestive problems (AKA: something doesn’t look quite right in my diaper), throat infection, urinary tract infection, chronic congestion and eye rubbing, dairy allergy/intolerance, lump on back (suspected scoliosis).

Here are the procedures he’s had done in his short life: Kidney ultrasound at birth, urine tests, blood tests, RSV test (AKA: the snot test), IV insertion, bladder x-ray, attempted catheterization/VCUG, 2nd kidney ultrasound, CT scan of back.

Here’s the types of doctors he’s been to (or will be going to soon): pediatrician, opthamologist, orthopedic surgeon, (geneticist?) (chiropractor?)

Wow that sure is a lot for a little guy who isn’t even 5 months old. I just hope this year is our most eventful year medically…I sure could do without all of these appointments. I’m sure JJ could too.
