Nikodaemos, Day 4
Yesterday we had to take the munckin to the doctors, because he's jaundiced. that means that some weird count of stuff that's in babies blood isn't getting filtered out fully. The count the day we left the hospital was a 15.3, that's not good, by the way. So we go to the doctor, and as anyone knows, infants lose weight in their first few days, well he's already back up to 7lbs 2oz. Yes, my son, the pig :).
Well the doctor sends us for blood tests at St. Joseph's Macomb... she wanted the bilirubin and his hemoglobin tested (mind you it's like 80-85 degrees outside and they want to know why my son is looking red...). So we go do that. Then we finally go to Meijer's (like i had wanted to HOURS beforehand) and I (since I JUST had surgery) have to get an Amigo. I wish the stupid things would go faster... But they have to give me this old sucky one that's breaking down and everyone is being a jackass and walking too slow in front of me :(.
So we finally got home from our excursion at like 4:30p. And this is all while I'm "not supposed" to be going anywhere in the car. How the hell do they expect me to take care of my child if they don't want me going anywhere in the car? His father doesn't have the pertinent information to be able to take the kid anywhere like the doctor's office. So, I've called shenannigans on their bullshit. I'm being careful when I go, and that's the best they're gonna get.
