Dermatologist, Doctors...and more Doctors..

Mom was suppose to be at the house at 9:30 so we could take Gibson to school and then take LeLe to the dermatologist appointment.  I had a bunch of questions that I had prepared for the dermatologist.  Unfortunately, I was running on time, and Mom wasn't...so she got here around 9:45.  Since we were running late, there wasn't time to take Gibson to school....so to the dermatologist we ALL went.

Gibson was absolutely out of control.  I am not quite sure of his deal.  We all went back to the room.  Gibson had to use the bathroom so mom took him.  The doctor came in, quickly removed the stitches...Mom and gibson came back to the room (gibson scared the nurses)...and I was so flustered, I didn't ask the first question.

It is psoriasis...and there is a 40% chance it will develop into arthritis...but that is all that I remember.  They changed us to ANOTHER steriod cream and sent us on our way.  We have ANOTHER appointment in a month for a followup visit.  It is rather frustating.

I was DONE....and I ran by the Pants Store to see if that had anything that I needed....and then we stopped at chikfila for lunch.  We came back to the house to eat..mom left and i let the kids play while we waited for 1:00 to come so that we could head to see Dr. McCain.

Dr. McCain got us quickly back (we had 2:15) appointment.  Gibson was at 95% on height and a little above 50% on weight.  He had gained significant weight and grew a couple of inches (i need to get the correct measurements).  He is on target to be 6 footish...

LeLe also around 75-90% on height...and that is all I can remember...by the time we got to LeLe...things were headed south.

Dr. McCain said everyone looked good.  Since Gibson still has the contagious rash, they cannot bathe together or use the same towels.  She is referring us to another dermatologist and is going to be sending us to an ortho doctor to see about her ankle.  She is concerned about it.

Overall, it went well...minus a few yell out sessions.  I am sure that they are always glad to see us come and go!

Never a dull moment!!
