Sick!

I love being a mom. I hate being a mom of a sick little boy who cant tell me whats wrong! For 24 hours James was extremely fussy. He cried himself to sleep, refused to hold still for diaper changes, would not sit on his butt without a fight, and we could not figure out what was wrong! We went from formula, tearing something while pooping solids, teething, bad headache from him standing fall, ear-infection, EVERYTHING! Then almost 24 hours later I found the problem. Way up his butt crack on the side of his butt was a pocket of blood/puss. He was not happy that I found it. I let him crawl around naked while I chased him trying to see the problem. When I got a good grip on it and squeezed I was rewarded with blood and puss and James pee'd. So off to the Dr we went (where he rode in my lap or on the floor because he refused to sit in his car seat.

After a good inspection it was decided that a Pilonidal cyst had formed off his tail bone and it was going to be removed (with a scapel). I stepped out of the room because I cannot handle James crying/screaming. After it was all said and done James is much happier. It's draining nicely and James is taking his medicine very well. He's very quiet today and not the smiley baby he usually is. But I think that's the medicine.

Other then that he's wearing 12 month clothes, 21 lbs, unknown length, size 4 shoes, and almost every day he stands all by himself in the middle of the living room, thankfully he falls down on his butt very well. He loves to play with shoes, balls, and remotes. Oh and of course mommies fountains! He's eating #2 solids very well, and the occational #3, but he doesn't care for the texture just yet. He loves snacks, so does mommy because it keeps him entertained while mommy cooks AND eats her dinner ;)

I'm back to work tomorrow, James is doing much better and hopefully can return to daycare. We may venture back to the DR office today just to get checked on, better safe then sorry! I don't want a hospital visit!!!!
