Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

Update: Today has been a fussy day for Bayley...but I dont blame her one bit. She is eating good so we will just see how things end up. Im going to put the car in the shop tomorrow morning and get the air fixed...GRRRRR. More tomorrow.

Poor Bayley. She had another bad night with lots of waking up screaming and trying to poop. I took her to the doctor this morning...which didnt go too smooth. It started about 7:40 when I got in the car and got almost out of PG when I realized the AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT IN MY CAR! and by the way ... it is stinkin hot outside. We got to the doctors office right at 8 and I noticed there were no cars and I knew something was wrong...yup they didnt have a doctor until 9 am and my doc wouldnt be in until 1. Well I told them who we were and what was wrong and they made us an appt with Dr. Tindol at 9am. But that still gave me 1 hour with NO AIR CONDITIONING and no where to go. So I got gas and then headed back to the doctors office praying they would have pity on us and let us in. The doors were locked but thank goodness Paulette noticed it was me and she let us in. Dr. Tindol was super sweet. Sydney has seen her in the past but it has been a few years. Bayley is up to 7 lb 2 oz which was great. Dr. Tindol said that most of the time premies get their weight on the chart by 2 months and we were 2 months on the 3rd and she said we probably would be on the chart by our next visit which is in 2 weeks. Dr. Tindol said that Bay has a very bad anal stricture. (Susan had mentioned this at church Sunday and WOW I wasnt prepared) Dr. Tindol stretched it in the office and Bayley screamed and bled quite a bit. She said that when it is that bad that it usually will rupture or tear which causes the bleeding. We are supposed to wait and see if she can poop on her own before Friday and if not we have to come back and let them repeat it. Dr. Tindol doesnt want us to try to stretch it at home until they get it to rupture some and stay and then we will have to keep it stretched at home until it heals. Poor baby Bayley had a bad morning. Dr. Tindol also said Bay's belly button is ruptured. She said that it is bowel that is herniated out and we have to continue to stick it back in every diaper and try to train it to go in. She said that a lot of times it will close up on its own and that we want it to Know to go in and not stay out.. If we notice that it is hard or wont go in we have to get to a doctor immediately because if it closes and leaves the bowel on the outside it can cause an obstuction and have to have emergency surgery to correct it. She did say if Bay has to have tubes or any minor surgey they recommend fixing it then. All this over a belly button... grrrrrrrrrr. Hopefully eveything will fix itself. Anyway...Im gone to hold my Bayley and hopefully sleep...Ill post a picture and an update later.

Poor baby!! That couldn't have been a pleasant experience for her (or you)!! At least she's so young she won't remember it! We're praying her belly issues will resolve soon!

Poor Baby! I pray everything is corrected on its own. Like Kim said, at least she will not remember that awful experience.

In the culture within which I work, Big Momma tapes a quarter or half dollar over the belly button. Not suggesting you do this- but it might be an option (just kidding, of course). By the way- leave my $25.00 co-pay on the way out.

And... hopefully Bayley is not "anal retentive", for a play on words.

In other words...thankfully she will NOT remember the trauma of what went on today.
