Next May, Chad and I will be going on a weekend trip alone for the first time since Asher was born. We're attending the Weekend To Remember marriage getaway in Franklin, TN, and I'm SO looking forward to it.
My parents will be staying at our place and watching Asher while we're gone, so I need to have lots of information written out since he's not your typical kid and this will be the first time they've watched him overnight. I came across this care notebook from Seattle Children's that I think will make that process much easier for me. There is an editable PDF for pretty much everything you can think of (and then some) regarding special care.
We should have had something like this filled out long ago, but better late than never. It's worth taking a gander if you have kiddos with special considerations.

x-ray
Scheduled for tomorrow at 1:40. Asher has the best doctor in town.
His button was looking a little more funkified than normal this morning, so I'm going to have her take a look at that, too. It's always a little red around the perimeter and has granulation tissue, but I think it might be infected (noticed a little bit of white today). Poor goose. We have some Bacitracin that we can put on it, but he would probably benefit from oral antibiotics.
Let the good times roll.

Three months later...
Alright, so I lied. I wasn't right back to blogging.
To be fair, I had other writing projects, but this one has been woefully neglected.
Now those are being neglected and I'm writing here. Ha!
Anyway, hitting the ground running. The other day Chad picked Asher up and said that he felt his hips "pop." This, of course, didn't sound good at all, so I mentioned it in physical therapy today. Asher's PT (who rocks, by the way; having three awesome physical therapists in a row has just been a huge blessing) checked him out today, and while she doesn't think it's a big issue, she did recommend we schedule an x-ray just to be certain. It doesn't appear to be dislocating and is more likely a stretched ligament "popping" when he moves a certain way, but better safe than sorry.
Thankfully, another huge blessing we have in our lives is great insurance for Asher, so I'll be calling tomorrow to see about setting up the x-ray. I honestly don't even know how that works, so I guess I'll just call his PCP and see what she says.
I leave you (hopefully not for another three months this time) with a picture of Asher on Halloween:
