Talking to Auntie Kristi

I just took these. They are too cute not to share. I am on the phone with my sister in NC, and Tanner took the phone and crawled up in the chair and began to babble like he knew what he was saying. LOL. The things kids do.

Being Bored
Well now that I can upload, I'll put up a new picture. It was taken Wed. before we went to the doc. Today has been a pretty boring day. We've been pretty lazy. Its been raining (yeah) and thundering. I've also been waiting around to hear from my in laws so I can go pick them up from the airport, as of now it may be late. Like almost midnight by the time the get here. Yuck. But its cool, I dont have to work tomorrow. But I really dont like to drive that late at night. So we're praying they made the early flight. Well I'm off to give my monster a bath, and read some books. Hopefully we will be getting a phone call here soon.

Tanner and now Me...
So I've been tagged by Tonya.
*Alone or with people? Definately with people. I am a people person, my sister always complains that I talk to much...I couldnt stand to be alone
*Summer or Winter? Winter. Because winter in Georgia, is like fall other places. It gets chilly and just cold enough that its nice to cuddle under a blanket, and then of course there's Tanner's bday and Christmas.
*Black or White? Both, cant choose just one
*Observe, or get along from the very first moment? I get along pretty much with everyone from the start, but I'm kinda guarded until I know them very well
*Clown, or Drama (Queen/King)?I think I have my moments as both. If you ask Tanner I'm a clown, if you ask people at work, here lately they'd probably say drama queen
*A Hummer, or A BMW convertible car? If I could afford the gas...a hummer. The more room the better when you have kids
*Loyal or………I am very loyal. To my friends and family. Even to my job. Sometimes too much I think
**3 people I tag, are Beck, Tif, and Steph. (Sorry I cant link to you...again the problem with the computer)

He's Back!!!
Yep, my little boy is feeling better and is on the go again. Can we all say Yippee!!! Its been a rough week. We have been at the dr, everyday except Thurs. So we took him of his medicine and guess what?! No more episodes. No crying, no pain, and he's eating again. So now we wait. We're all a little scared that that he may become constipated again, hoping not. But its a possiblitly. But we are now giving him prune juice daily insted of medicine. Well today was his official "18 month" check up even though he's 19 months. Everything looks good. He weighs 25 pounds (he lost a pound this week). He's 32 inches tall. He's right in the 50 percentile for everything. He's on target with development too. He had to get one shot, and they checked his iron again to make sure his counts havnet dropped. And he's still within the normal range. Which is awesome. SO no more doctors until he's 2. Love it!! He's been eating all day. And I've been letting him. Probably no the best thing to do. But he's got some catching up to do.
What else is going on. On a kinda bummed note, I didnt get the job I was hoping for. SO starting Monday I'm off too look and apply. I am hoping to be out of my job by Christmas. Scott and I have also talked about me going to school. We will see how that goes.
Last but not least. Let me apologize in advance because our computer is still acting screwy. I cant upload any new pics. Its taken forever to publish post. Someone is suppose to come out and check our modem, but they wont be here until Wed. So that leaves us kinda back to the stone age of dial up speed. Which justs sucks butt!!!

And so it continued...
Yes, around 4am my little man woke up screaming in pain. Again. He fell back asleep around 5, which is when I have to get up for work. Since he was asleep I decided to go. Scott calls me around 8 to tell me he had another episode. So I call the dr, and we're told to come in. When I get home, my little man is still asleep. Scott said he had pretty much been asleep all day. Poor guy. So we go to the doc, and she checks him again, and she said it was in the back of her mind about the twisted bowel. But she still didnt think he had that, because in the Dr's office he was happy and playing. She said she really didnt want to put him through any procedure that he didnt need. (Thank God). She did tell us that she had done some research on the medicine he is taking, and she showed up the side effects, guess what? My child has everyone. No joke. So she talked to us a little more and told us not to give him anymore medicine and when he goes back on Friday we'll see how he did. Let's just say as soon as we left the doctor, he was wiped out. We stopped by and visited Beck at work, and he was just "blah". On the way home he had a crying spell, and around 5 he had another one. I know its going to take a little while for the medicine to get out of his system, but it just sucks having to wait it out. I also ended up taking a week off work. I hate calling in, so I just decdied to use my vacation. As of right now, he's doing okay. His sitting on my lap, because he's still clingy. But he's pretty happy. We've played a little and rested alot. So heres hoping the next 2 days go by without much more incidents.

Tanner does the ER
So I'm having my sister do this for me via email, since my computer is being so extremely stubborn and wont let me upload anything. I cant even upload comments on blogs right now. Let me say thanks to Beck for posting my comment for me. Thanks hon. Okay so let me start with yesterday. Around 445 yesterday Tanner started crying (remember I had said he had been fussy the day before) so at first I thought that's what it was. But his cry was different. It was a pain cry and I felt his stomach because that's what the problem has been in the past few weeks. And it was rock hard. Which kinda freaked me out because Scott said he had 2 good poops. Well he cried and cried for an hour so I finally broke down and called the phone nurse and she told me that if he had been crying that long he needed to go to the ER and be checked. Here comes the fun part. Scott had my car, and the truck was out of gas. Where he works there are no direct phone lines, so the only way I can get in touch with him his via email. SO that's what I do. Meanwhile I called Beck to see if she could take me just in case Scott doesn't get the email. Bless her heart. She tried and tried to help me find a number to get hold of Scott with. (There is an emergency number but do I have it..of course not). But by the grace of God he gets the email and gets home as quick as he can. (It was storming so it took him a while longer) by the time he gets here, Tanner has stopped crying but I think it was from exhaustion. So lets fast forward to the ER. (The hospital is a teaching one, so just imagine it like the ER TV show) We were seen quickly. First we saw "Carter" (back when he was a resident). He looked at Tanner's ears, nose, throat. Pressed the belly Listened to his belly and stood back and looked pretty (he really did) and listened to what we said. He then goes, I'm going to talk to the Pediatrician on call. 15 minutes later...enter "Doug Ross" (George Clooneys character). He redid everything the first guy did, and then he proceed to give Tanner and internal exam (think prostate exam for men) my little man screamed and cried. Which in turn broke my heart and made me want to kill him. Then he said he thinks the medicine that Tanner is on is giving him gas. And that would cause stomach cramps (if George Clooney had told me that, I might be okay with it, but his guy was NO Clooney) so he then says he will be back. I think about 15 minutes pass and Toot finally calms back down...Then come" Carter", "Ross", and "Weaver" (I'm guessing she was the chief resident). She does a repeat of what the other 2 have done and I'm like okay now...and the "Ross" tells us he has to do another internal exam because he forgot to check for blood!! I was almost in tears. No joke. So again my poor baby is screaming and crying. And they all agree with the "gas" diagnosis. Before we leave the "Carter" guy comes back with a popsicle and makes friends with Tanner. Then he tells us that is rare but it happens that babies bowels sometime twist and cause tons of pain. He said there wasn't any sign but it doesn't mean its not there. So we thanked him and left. We get home around 1145 eat, and get in bed. That lasted less than an hour. Tanner woke up crying, and crying and crying. Scott and I took turns rubbing his belly, walking, and rocking. He finally passed out from sheer exhaustion. But he didn't sleep good. He woke up a lot. Which means so did we. So I didn't go to work. I called his Dr and made an appt. They got us in pretty quick. I told her everything that had happened. And she just listened to his belly. And felt it. She said she didn't think it was the medicine because he's been on it for over 10 days. She said that everything felt okay. But she did think he had a virus. (Remember the fever over the weekend) She said she had another patient today who had the same problem. No other symptoms but really bad cramping. She said that made more sense that his medicine all of sudden doing it. She also talked to me about the twisted bowel. She said she is confident he doesn't have it because he let her feel on his stomach with out screaming. She said that if it happened again tonight to call the night nurse, and tell her she said to page her and she would run X-rays and blood work. (and that is why I like our Dr better) He has to go back on Friday. So far, he's been very clingy but no more crying. (Which makes me feel she's right about the virus). So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you for all your concern. It really means a lot. I will try to keep everyone updated, but it really depends on what my stubborn computer decides to do.
(Things are finally working so I'm reposting from flickr. Sorry if your comments were erased)

Real quick
I just wanted to let everyone know that Tanner is fine. We did have to take him to the ER and to the doctor again today. I will try to post more tonight but either AOL or my computer is messing up, so everytime I post it times out. Hopefully it will fix itself soon so I can go into detail...
