We survived our first trip to the ER. At 3:30pm on Sunday Sean woke me up (yes my fabu husband let me take a nap while he handled the kids) saying “call Amanda – Ronin’s left testicle looks weird.” Needless to say Amanda was supportive and calming and said take him to the ER. I had us all packed and in the car – in less than 10 minutes. Putnam County Hospital Center fast-tracked us and treated us very well. Ronin was deeply upset and disturbed but it was scary for him – and all in all – in handled it very well. It has been determined that he most likely has a small hernia and we have a follow-up appt. with his pediatrician tomorrow to confirm. If he will need surgery I will ask Amanda for references as she and Tom have guided me well through the Montefiore process before. When Ronin was undergoing the sonogram he was very upset. Sean had to hold down his legs and I had to hold down his chest as you have to remain very still in order to get an accurate picture of blood flow. I distracted Ronin by talking about Curious George and all the fun things George does as well as kissing and counting his fingers (he loved that!) Thank G-d I remembered to grab many sous (pacifiers) and a red truck for him to play with while we waited in between seeing various doctors. All the while Autumn was charming the staff and occasionally squawking and Ronin wanted to know where his sister (NEW WORD) was at all times.
It was harrowing but we survived and I am sure this will NOT BE the last time we go!
Autumn News: She has cut her first tooth today. Visual confirmation has been obtained by 2 people. It is official. Way to go Autumn
