A Wee Shop Update
Hey everyone, I decided to do a wee shop update. Just a few pretties for now. I’ll probably have more to list next week. Look at these fun kits I put together:
I have yarn and fiber for sale HERE!
This week was a little crazy for us. H got stung by a bee on the tip of his thumb and it was the saddest thing ever. And Thursday we found out that A has mild kidney reflux.
She probably won’t need surgery to correct it and most kids outgrow it. But she will have to go to a pediatric urologist and will most likely be on antibiotics a lot over the next year or so. Bummer. But I’m so glad out pediatrician in on top of this. He told me two moms in his practice are in kidney failure due to undiagnosed/untreated kidney reflux. And these women are my age. It’s heartbreaking because it would have been so easy to prevent. We spent all of Thursday morning at Children’s Hospital in Seattle getting A’s kidneys checked out. It looks like the kind that goes away on it’s own. So yay for that!
Our pediatrician caught the reflux because A had a bladder infection a few weeks ago. She was vomiting all morning so I took her in. Not spitting up. Puking. Puking like a frat boy. He told me that if an infant is vomiting like that it’s almost always a bladder infection. After the culture came back positive he told me that he refers all infants with bladder infections to be screened for reflux. I’m so glad he’s our pediatrician!
Have a great weekend!
