Another Doctors Visit

I'm going to try to give details without giving too many gross details....I took yesterday off because Braxton had an upset stomach. We realized that his tummy was upset when we went and picked him up on Monday at daycare. There they told us that we had 5 "dirty" diapers. Yeah, I said 5 and all within a 9 hour period. When we took him home he would pass gas and "stuff" would come out the sides of the diaper. After he passed gas he would let out a sigh of relief. We decided that I should take him to the doctor to just make sure that it wasn't something worse then a stomach bug.

We were taken back to the exam room pretty quickly, but once we were there we had to entertain ourselves for a while. We had tummy time, we read books, we played with toys and of course Braxton nibbled on his hand.

When the doctor came in she looked at B's ears (clear), throat (clear), groin area (clear). Since everything was cleared the doctor decided to also do a hearing recheck on Braxton. He needed a follow up after three months so she thought that this was a good time to do it. Braxton needed the hearing test follow up since there was a history of deafness in the family: Jeremy's father wore a hearing aid in one ear his entire life. I am happy to report that Braxton passed his second hearing test and that we wont need another one until is his ready to start school (unless there is a concern).
