Today was a very busy and stressful day. I waited all morning to get Oliver's metabolic screen drawn. In the afternoon we went to see the ENT and get his tongue clipped. That was not too bad, but not my favorite. He did incredibly well. The ENT said it was a severe tie and very tight. He actually had to snip it twice. He did it old school and didn't even do sutures. He cried very briefly, and then nursed and never said boo again.
After the ENT we had to go to the pediatrician...again....for the third time this week. Why? Because of course nothing can be easy with us right now and Oliver's umbilical cord is oozing and smells DISGUSTING. I mean, honestly, gross. Really bad. The pediatrician had to put silver nitrate on it and told us if it doesn't fall off this weekend that we need to come back on Monday...or if it continues to ooze. So now we wait and hope that it doesn't get red or he doesn't get a fever because that will land us in the hospital. Not what I want to do so we will just pray it gets better.
