a choc filled day

Today was one of those crazy days.
I had to leave the house by 8:30 to get to Davy's first therapy(OT) at 9. had to secure a sitter(thank you Heather) and a ride to and from preschool for Harper. Went to Davy's second therapy(pt) at 10. Then had to jam over to CHOC by 11:15 for her feeding therapy. Then had a speech Evaluation right after that.
Ran home to pick up Harper, hoping Davy would fall asleep on the way, so she
could get some sort of nap today(20 minutes). Fed Davy Lunch and meds then left back to Choc for a GI appointment. Had to find a ride home from school for Ollie, a ride for Max an hour later(science club), then a ride to and from scouts. Oh and also a sitter from 2-4;30 (thanks Nathan, I owe you $$).
I hit MAJOR traffic on the way down and I am 15 minutes late.
The nurse tells me, DR.G can't see us, we're too late.
Hmmmmm that's weird cuz I just saw him walk into his office.
Well, we can reschedule you at the end of March.
Uhhh totally unacceptable, Davy has a lot going on right now, I need to get in, TODAY.
I was told if I wait another hour a different GI Doc will see us.
Fine, that will do.

I am so glad I waited. You know how we've been having issues with her ripping out her mic-key button? Well, it was too small. So it was majorly uncomfortable for her. Poor thing, it was driving her crazy this whole time. So we placed a new larger button in and then saw how red and irrated her skin was.
So I then have to jet to Target to pick up some new meds for Davy's infected tube site and make it home by 6.

Luckily Alissa, the sitter from 4:30 to 6, fed them, cuz i would let them eat cereal and popcorn, I am that tired.

Did i mention Scott is working late again?

So I told the kids they can watch TV tonight until bedtime. Hooray!!
But at the end of the day.....it was totally worth it, to have the mic-key problem solved.





This is Davy in physical therapy. She always starts off on this swing.
Today they had her pushing it back and forth. It's pretty dang hard to walk backwards.
It was a good thing Ms.J had her hands out, cuz Davy ate it right after this shot.
She all good though.

Alright, I'm gonna go lay on the couch and watch Parks and Rec.
Night.

Nothing like a good dose of Leslie Knope to make your brain relax after a hard day! I'm amazed at all you get done! I've not had a day that busy in... EVER! Glad they solved her mic-key problem... and walking backwards IS tough - my son didn't even attempt it until he was 2! Keep up the great work!
