Planning for next week

Just one short week from today, we will be in Cincinnati for Kyler's doctors appointments. In preparation for this, he is officially being quarantined this week --- as you saw in earlier posts, the lurking fever has been keeping him down. . and we want him going into next week rested and healthy! Since a Kindergarten classroom is a breeding ground for pesky viruses, he will be staying home this week -- doctors orders!

Here is a sum up off our appts. for next week. . .

Monday -- this is our biggest day - he has his appt. with GI doctor in the morning, Dexa Scan and then upper and lower scope in the afternoon. He will be recovering from procedure and anesthesia this night. . .lots of resting in the hotel room.

Tuesday: he will see the team allergist and get lots of allergy testing done, including skin patch testing ---this checks for a delayed reaction -- I am anxious to see how this turns out, because that type of testing isn't available around here so he's never had it. We have an appt. with a Social Worker in the afternoon - to discuss lifestyle changes that might occur because of food limitations/social impact/etc -- I think I got this covered, but I am sure it will be useful.

Wednesday - Lab tour and seminar on Eosinophillic disorders. (I think this is for me)

Thursday - Follow-up appt with GI doctor - the biopsy results will be in from the procedures on Monday.

Friday - Follow-up appt. with Allergist and reading of the skin patch tests -- - he will have had those patches on since Tuesday, not sure how fun that's going to be :(. And lastly, appt. with Dietitian.

We aren't going to be all work and no play, though! We have big plans to fit in Kings Island (an amusement park), Cincinnati Zoo, Aquarium and of course some trips to Toys R us!

Who's going Where???? Me, Kyler and Pop will be going to Cincinnati; Jayden, Evan and Kerry will be holding down the roost - while CiCi is in charge of kiddos while Kerry works. And you know CiCi, she has some fun things planned for them during their Spring Break!

I am planning to blog each night and let everyone know how it's going. . . so stayed tuned!
