Back to the Doctor...

Matt was having trouble with his toe on Wednesday night. He cried out twice about it - very unlike him. One of those times, he even woke from sleeping. I think he might have tried to pull off his toenail. Anyways, yesterday morning it was looking infected, and he would barely let us touch it. We put neosporin on it and waited for his appointment. The doctor didn't think it was infected. She couldn't even tell that it was red. She is not our normal doctor thankfully. No wonder she had so many openings yesterday. It did look a little better by the time we had our appointment. After taking him to the ER in Pecos, TX for his infected thumb, it was nice to have it looked at early before the weekend!

In the meantime, I have been having some shortness of breath. It'll happen at the most random times - even after laying down or taking a shower. Most days it goes away. Finally when we were leaving yesterday for Matt's appointment, I could not take a deep breath. Eventually, I felt tingling in my hands and feet. Great - I've never hyperventilated before, but the day I do, I have three bodies I'm responsible for. So, while we were near my doctor's office, we stopped in to make sure everything was okay. The doctor said the twins are pushing up on my lungs. He suggested putting my arms over my head to stretch out my diaphragm. If these continue, I'll need to go to the hospital to have my oxygen saturation levels checked. The craziness continues. We're so glad Mimi is here to help. We're definitely keeping her on her toes!
