R and M Go to the Doctor
Originally, I thought I would be able to handle taking 2 kids 1 and under to the doctor all by myself. Then, the part of my brain that is in charge of rational thinking engaged and I realized I should probably have N go with us. Of course, that meant we had to take K as well. So, the 5 of us headed to the doctor this morning after N and I were able to convince K that only M was getting shots today, not him. We got to the office and after a brief wait they took us all back. The MA took all their measurements and asked all the development questions and then she left. Our doctor came in and rechecked the kids. When she was checking R, though, she took an extra long time listening to her heart. At first I figured it was because R was less than cooperative, but then she had me try to calm R down so she could listen again and she took a long time again. Turns out R has a heart murmur. The doctor really isn't too concerned about it, but she does want it checked out by a cardiologist just to be safe. So, a week from tomorrow R gets to go to the cardiologist. N and I aren't too concerned. We went through the same thing with M and his is just an innocent murmur that will not affect his life at all and will probably go away on it's own when he is older. Here's hoping R's is the same.
