Checking on the Noggin

Callie had her check up with the pediatrician today for her head. It was really just a formality more than anything, although it turned into an appointment for me sort of. Callie's head looks great no residual stitches, closed well and looking healthy. It still has a bruise as she keeps hitting her head on the floor, last time was yesterday. She is not helping the healing process. She has quite a bump under there so we will need to work on massaging it down once its healed a little more. Otherwise we are doing ok, the pediatrician hasn't called CPS yet considering the month we have had. I told her that and she laughed at me. Seriously though, Callie has had a rough two weeks with a dog bite, stitches, head CT, hepatitis A exposure, falling and hitting her head on the cement and bleeding with her stitches. It's been quite a bit of stress for me honestly. I know I tend to roll with the punches and ride the waves but still it frazzles the nerves. And with that being said I have this horribly itchy rash on my back that is getting worse. I asked the pediatrician to take a quick look while I was there and she is pretty sure it is shingles :( most likely stress induced. Now hopefully Callie doesn't get chicken pox from me! Sh has had the first half of e vaccine series so they think if she does it will be mild, butlers hope not at all!!! I am feeling fine besides itching but I am not allowed artwork because we have small and sick kids in my office. So I am off with Miss Callie for a few days or longer. It will be a nice break for me to spend time with Callie before my weekend away and a chance to rest and relax and just take life slowly. I go see my doctor Wednesday so they can actually diagnose and say when I can return to work. Until then I will enjoy my time home ;)
I am forcing Callie to wear a hat when we are outside to keep sun off her scar. I don't want to put sunscreen on it until it is completely healed but I want to keep the sun off it. Here she is in her bucket hat walking Manny this afternoon. How cute are they?!
