Spending the summer at the doctor

Where did August go!  I feel like this summer was filled with doctor visits, not just for my pregnancy, which included a trip to a specialist, as well as multiple blood samples, and that awful glucose test.  We go back to the specialist for another sonogram on Sept. 11th, I can't wait to see how much this wild little boy has grown. 

Below is a picture of Philip recovering from his deviated septum surgery.  This was a pretty hard surgery for him to recover from.  Luckily my mother in law came up to our home to help us out around the house and with Raegan.  Dr. Buyten, who is the same doctor who did Raegan's ear tubes in 2010, did a great job on Philip's surgery.  He is doing much better now and can breathe much easier.  He's also going to get allergy shots once a week now.

Raegan visited 3 dentists this summer before we found one to fix her cavaity between her two front teeth.  We had to go to the hospital on August 15th so they could put her under general anethesia for the procedure. She did well and her teeth look great. 

This is a picture of her after they gave her stickers and let her pick out a teddy bear before she went in for the procedure.

On August 24th Philip had a colonoscopy.  We were blessed to find out there were no real concerns, I think the problems he was having were just due to stress.  He was under conseous anthesia which made him very forgetful.  When I was waitiing with him afterwards, he would ask me, "Have you talked to the doctor? Did you like him? So no polyops, no cancer?" I'd answer him with, "Yes, you spoke with Dr. Baradi too, he's nice, no polyops, no cancer." Then he'd fade off to sleep and wake up 2-3 minutes later and say, "Have you talked to the doctor? Did you like him? So no polyops, no cancer?" I answered straight faced for about the first 5 times and then I just couldn't help but crack up.  Made me think about how he may be when we are in our 80s and how much I'll always love him.
