EE Update
Because if it isn't someone's heart, someone's breathing, or money or insurance, it's EE.
Do you know how tired I am of explaining what EE is? Even to the PA at G's pediatrician's office? Do you know how tired I am of the looks I get after saying, nope haven't started potty training yet? Do you know how tired I am of justifying why my son eats crackers and nuts at just about every meal? I am tired. I really am.
But I am blessed. Because his EE is manageable and truly not that big of a deal in our house. He will eat some things with gusto (crackers and nuts and fruit). He will eat. We haven't had to talk about scarier things.
Anyway.
He's throwing up again. Fairly regularly. Sick or healthy. Congested or not. He's throwing up again. He had gained good weight, about two pounds. But he's lost all of it again. So I decided to put him back on the meds. I called the specialist to tell him I had made that decision - like he asked me to - and he called back and said he wanted to see G.
This does not make me happy.
It's probably just the prudent thing to do. But I am nervous about the weight conversation. I'm nervous about the whole thing.
And have I mentioned I'm tired of doctors and hospitals? I am. I'm so tired of them. I'm sure all parents say that at one point or another but I'm tired of hospitals and doctors. I just want a few weeks of health. I guess we had one last week. I guess I'll take that and be happy.
