SaVe The DrAma FoR YoUr MoMMa
This week pretty much dumped on us! I would like to say some other words but my momma wouldn't be proud of me. So you get the gist of it. I just want to play poor me in this entry because it feels better to write about it and then get over it.
The week started off okay, until I desperately wanted to get a video of Van laughing and I kept seeing a hair or a crack on all of the videos and pics I was taking. So needless to say the camera is ca put, It's going back to the store, broken and ruined. I needed to print out some documents for my work and my printer died, or as my dad said it on the phone it crapped out. I brought it to get fixed paid money to have em look at it, and it would cost more to fix it than the actual printer costs in the first place. A designer needs her printer, ya know! I was in the bath trying to de-stress last night and noticed I had lost diamonds in my wedding band AGAIN! So that ring is going away for a while again. This is the 7th time it has broken on me in the last 3 years. I will not take it as a sign either, the ring was just made horribly and they will not send us a new one...
Today Van had tummy troubles and was upset a lot, I took him to the Dr's for a looksy at that eye that wont clear up and some routine shots, that he did not like at all. The polio shot, and the DTap again. Then I asked the dr about his head and said he slept on only one side no matter how I laid him in the crib, and that I was worried his head was being misshapen a little.
Without even an explanation he wrote me a prescription to the physical therapist three times a week for this thing called Plagiocephaly or flat head syndrome , I guess. I said I just can't go home and show my husband this prescription I need to tell him what it is so you will need to explain it to me..... ugggh some doctors just don't do their job right.. It's really frustrating.
If you've noticed that your baby is developing a persistent flat spot, either in the back or on one side of the head, it could be a sign of Positional Plagiocephaly. Also known as flattened head syndrome, this condition can occur when your baby sleeps in the same position repeatedly. It can also occur because of problems with your baby's neck muscles. Fortunately, this condition is usually easy to treat. With appropriate intervention in most children, positional plagiocephaly will correct itself by the time the child is 1 year old. So that is a little about it... Van is instructed to do more tummy time, which he doesn't really like, but somehow I captured a smile while he was on that tummy today.
We also had to make a huge decision about something else this week, which I can not really elaborate on just yet, more on this next week. This was a major hurdle to get over also. My face broke out like I was in high school again, and all I wanted to do was shop to make myself feel better. However that would not be good of me to make any purchases right now, so I came to drink a mojito and relax..... ahhh it already feels better.
More later.

mmmm...mojito.
At least your nickname isn't Gwen Stefani!
That is SO frustrating. I hate it when doctors do that (which is one of the reasons that I never go to the doctor). Hopefully the doctors nonchalance means that Plagiocephaly is not a big deal. And if it doesn't clear up, at least it will be really easy to give Van a flat top...
