Well, we heard from Jay's doctor today and he does NOT have a tumor or anything else life-threatening. He has been diagnosed with "cluster headaches"(you can click HERE for more info)...just like I thought. Thank you very much internet! He is picking up his prescription on the way home from work and we are just letting out a big sigh of relief!
Speaking of doctors -- I took Lily to see hers this morning. She has been complaining of an "itchy bootie" for several days and last night she was scooting her butt along the carpet like a dog with worms, so I gave in and called her Pediatrician today. Everything looks fine, so she told me to just soak her in an Aveeno oatmeal bath for a couple days -- could be from all the swimming she's been doing(?)
But, I was telling my sister that Lily loves going to the doctor's office so much I wish I didn't have a 30 dollar co-pay, cuz I would take her there weekly for one of our fun activities. I kid you not...she is in HEAVEN the whole time we are there. Her doc checked her bootie and Lily politely requested that she use her flashlight, so of course the doc obliged. Then Lily insisted that her throat be checked, and then she wanted to wear the stethoscope to check her heart. As I was cashing out Lily was picking out her sucker saying, "I really love going to the doctor's office. I feel better already." I wish I had brought my camera. (not for the bootie inspection, but for the rest.) Oh yeah, and when the nurse was taking her to the scale to get weighed, Lily said matter-of-factly: "I weigh 27 pounds"...and she still does. The kid cracks me up. My doctor kept asking "Is this the same child from a year ago?" To which I answered, "No, she really isn't the same child at all." I hardly recognize her myself sometimes.

I'm glad Jay wasn't diagnosed with anything life threatening, but those cluster headaches sound excruciating!
I will continue to keep him in my prayers.
I love your Lily commentary! 27lbs! my goodness she's such a little thing!
I'm so glad everyone is ok!
Lily is so cute!
So glad everybody's doin OK and it all turend out alright!
Praise the Lord! I am so glad everything is okay. I was hoping to log in and see good news. This is awesome!
I love the pediatrician story. Too funny! I took Mallory recently and she insisted that our pediatrician try some of her Trident strawberry lime gum. He is so sweet. He took a piece and chewed it right there in front of her.
yikes lady- i leave the world wide web for a couple weeks and you have so many blogs and HUNDREDS of commetns to read through! yowsa!
most surprising to me was this moving to tennessee business. hmmm. what/who's ion TN? i guess as long as you visit MI regularly... we'd probably see eachother just as often, as awful as that sounds. i'm so glad jay is okay, and has something to help him feel better. and hey - btw, i am weeks away from starting school! going for my RN. :) miss you. i'm gonna be out of town for a while but come august, i want to set something up!
That's what I was praying for!!! SO glad to hear it. And that Lily - maybe she needs to consider that as her occupation!!!! She is SO funny!!!
So glad to hear everything turned out fine and everyone is ok. Glad Lily had a good time at the doctors. What a cutie!
I am SOOOOOOOOOO glad to hear that Jay is okay! WOW!!! A kid who loves the doctor... that will save you alot of screaming!
So glas to hear Jay is OK. Clusters suck but they are the easiest headaches to treat. Are they going to give him Oxygen for them. That just whips them away so if he knows any scuba divers next time he gets one tell him to suck pure Oxygen.
Lily is a crack up. Glad her bum is fine and I am sort of gald you didn't have your camera. LOL
I am so glad that Jay is ok!
Hooray for Jay....but I am laughing hysterically about the booty scratch AND.....I just read some VERY, VERY, VERY ineteresting stuff about you my friend! BA-Ha.....do you think you know where?!?!?
Thank You Jesus for answered prayers. I am certain you must be so relieved... very happy news indeed.
Lily is so funny.... what a cutie pie.
Oh, yippee!! I am so happy it is nothing serious with the headaches, even though nothing is nice about them. From one sufferer to another, I feel his pain and hopes the meds work! Too cute about Lily and the dr. Maybe Shayna should take lessons from her.
You should be in the medical profession....you so smart!!
Great news, am happy for your family.
Praise God all is well with hubby. I know the headaches are a pain (sorry LOL) but so happy it is nothing more serious.
Lily is a character... I would love to have you visit sometime but I don't know if we could handle our girls in the same room!!
I am so glad it is nothing serious with your husband. So glad.
Praise and thanks to God that Jay didn't have a tumor or anything life threatening. Hope they have a solution for the headaches though.
As for Lily, she is way to cute!
sooo glad about Jay doing better...i love the internet diagnosis...use it all the time myself....
maybe Lily Lin is gonna be in the medical field...then she can be loving it everyday and getting paid for it too!!
Glad to hear that Jay is fine...
And I am glad she loves the doctor.. She can go for me whenever I need to go.. HAHA
Have a great week..
Kim
Great news! Great doctor's office story. Oh yes, pictures next time! I can see her now, matter-of-factly stating her weight... that look.. lol
Praise God for a good report.
Glad everything is alright
Cluster headaches sounds very frustrating and painful, but on the other hand not life threatening, thank goodness.
It is great Lily loves the Doctor, maybe a glimpse into her very distant future?? DR. Lily??
Nik,
You did it again,press "HERE" to find out more about headacks,you are really getting good!!
I am SO glad that Jay is okay!!!!
That story about Lily is hilarious!
What a relief about your hubby.
A huge weight lifted off huh?
I thought my boy was the only one who loved going to the doctor. Funny, kids are huh?
Thanks so much for your support with my book and your sweet words about my new daughter (I love saying that word 'daughter').
woo hoo, Jay is OK!! That Lily is a real hoot!
Thanks for the sweet comment you left on my blog! ;)
great news about Jay!!! to funny about the doctor... emily still remembers her shots, so she doesn't like the the doctor ...
I am glad he is okay. I am sure you are very thankful and teh internet was very interesting (the article)
Anyway, you should have bought your camra. I dont like many kids who like the doctors office, also, my sister weighed the same for a while to, she is very petite!
So glad to hear that Jay is ok. That must be an unimaginable relief! Also glad little miss Lily's butt problems aren't serious!
Thanks for the kind comments and for referring me to Becky. I really appreciate it. Take care. :)
Hugs,
Jonni
I'm so glad to hear that Jay does not have a tumor. G-d that would be so awful and scary..... Big hugs to you. I know you had to be so worried.
So glad that everyone ok!!
Nothing like an itchy bootie!
I'm so happy to hear that Jay is okay!! Sorry I'm late with this --- I need to keep blogging just so that I know what is going on with you and your family --- people who are SO incredibly special to me!!!
So glad it's nothing serious for Jay, although I'm sure the cluster headaches are no fun at all. Yay for Dr. Google!
And as for Lily, oh man, with each story she just becomes more and more dear. How fun and good-natured could one 3 year old girl be? Perhaps she has a future in health care?
That is wonderful news!! What a relief.
Lily is too cute!
Keep smilin!
