the day of surgery.
And I’m running around like crazy.
And searching on line for stuff like:
Calmoseptine Ointment
Because this is available over the counter my insurance company won’t pay for it.
Yeah. We were shocked too. :::::rolling eyes::::::::
But considering the terrible horrible butt rash IA kids get after their take downs I know I’ve got to be prepared.
I didn’t realize that after this surgery comes a stage when a child goes through MANY, MANY, MANY diapers a day.
It’s been suggested that we stock up on disposables. After this surgery kids tend to go through many, many, many diapers. But I cloth diaper because the budget simply doesn’t stretch to include disposables.
No disposable wipes though. Too rough on tender, blistered skin. But I’ve got an excellent supply of cloth wipes to use. So no worries there.
So much to think about.
So much to do.
Today we are taking our Brave Hero up to Shriner’s to pick up his new SMOs. I had hoped to talk them into just sending them down to us, but they can’t do that. They need to be sure that the SMOs are the proper fit, etc. And I understand that. I just hate having to travel up there today when there is so much to do down here.
I’m still hoping to find that million dollar winner’s check in our mailbox. It sure would help with the tanks of gas we are going to be going through this next couple of weeks.
Amongst other things.
There seems to be a lot of hope out there today after last night’s elections. Who knows? Perhaps the trickle down effect will actually work this time. We could use some of that hope right about now.
Good Luck!! We will be praying for Parker and For sure his parents. If you see that money fairy send her our way! lol
Em and Zachs Mom,
If she comes, I’ll share! Promise!
We will be thinking of you and your family tmrw. Take a break today and just enjoy Parker. Everything will get done at some point or another.
Good Luck tmrw!!!!!!
don’t forget to stock up on vaseline too…if not then when you use ilex you will glue his butt checks together…lol…don’t worry if you do it happens to us all the first time we use ilex. Best wishes!!! Are they doing go-lytely via NG for bowel prep?
Tammy we are praying for your sweet boy! I hope the surgery goes well and the recovery too!
Drive safely today!!!
I am praying for you all! I hope the surgery goes smoothly and recovery goes quickly!!!
Many prayers will be said for Parker. God Bless the little guy and I hope that he is not in severe pain.
((Hugs))
I’ll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. If you need anything I’m very close to PCMC.
Tammy, Do you need more cloth wipes? I have a huge pile made up already. Say the word and I’ll send some your way!
Will the hospital not provide you with diapers? Everytime Carson has been in the hospital, they basically tell me to put my diaper bag away. I hate to see you having to keep up on laundry while trying to tend to Parker.
Anyways, I’ll be praying for Parker and please keep us updated. He is going to do great!
Thinking of Parker!!
Sending lots of prayers your way. He’ll come through with flying colors!!
Happy thoughts & many prayers for you guys!!!
Good luck on getting everything done. Lots of prayers for Parker.
hugs

I have some calmoseptine ointment samples – could I send them to you? I have four 1/8 oz. packages I picked-up at the last PT convention in June. Email me your address and I send them tootsweet. Can’t help you with the twitter thing, sorry. Prayers ongoing.
Oh, and I follow another blog of a family that includes a child with the MOST sensitive skin – I have read info on their blog that might be useful to you – linked on my site – Kintropy.
Oh Tammy, I didn’t realize that Parker was having a surgery. I’ll be praying for him and your family!
I was stopping by to let you know that I’m hosting the “Holiday Cooking, Blogger Style†recipe exchange again this year, coming up this Friday.
You may not have the time to join me but if not feel free to stop back later for holiday recipe ideas.
Tammy, I wish I lived wherever you live. I would so run around, doing your errands and helping you prep. I’m sure you’re all stressed out, but we always like to lay in Mommy’s bed (even though Daddy sleeps there too, that’s what Noah calls it) the night before a surgery and just be together.
Don’t forget to breathe. Can’t wait to read updates. Many prayers!
Good luck sweet, sweet Parker! BTW, if a derm happens to script an ointment of sorts following the procedure, holler. One of my clients is a derm and I could get you anything that your heart desires. Many prayers…
Just thinking about you all and hoping Parker is already feeling better!
Oh Poor little Parky
I remember when my son Colton was born and had thrush mouth. He had the WORST rash I have ever seen and had diarriah like every 1/2 hour. I felt so awful for him. I wish I could come and help after the surgery. I hate thinking of Parky in any more pain. Good luck to you all. I love you all and am praying and thinking of you constantly.
Love and Hugs,
Amy
Just wanted to let you know I am praying and thinking of your little one a bunch today!
Kay
Praying for you guys. Wish I had some more money to send your way.
I hope you don’t mind, but I emailed Huggies with a link to this post–basically I asked them to consider sending you a coupon for some free diapers.
Diapering should be the least of your worries right now.
I’m “praying for Parker.” Hard. And you. And the truth is, I’m very excited that he’s having this surgery. Imagine. No more bag!
