Colin's dermatologist appointment

I took him to the dermatologist for his rash and he "burned" four of them with a chemical (Cantharidin I think it was called) and we will go back every few weeks and get a few more done. Boy I wish I could buy a bottle of this stuff and just do it myself,..... I am taking Brandon to the pediatrician to evaluate his hearing (which is poor again, but we know a tube is out), a chronic cough, and for his rash on his butt/balls/thighs. I will tell them the treatment the dermatologist is doing and see if it is a treatment they can do in their office and save me $10 per copay. I don't know how they will treat the ones on his balls, but since these things do go away over time maybe if we save them for last they will go away before we get to them.

Brandon's hearing is pretty bad right now, maybe not the worst its been, but pretty bad. I hate it when you talk to him, and he stares blankly at you. I need to switch ENT's so I will let the pediatrician check his ears for anything immediate, but as long as it can wait I will find him a new ENT that does surgery closer to our home once my new insurance kicks in November 1st. Also once my new insurance starts then I will find a new orthodontist, one with better than once a week office days, and get those darn braces put on before my teeth fall out.

Boy, there's a lot going on for you right now!
Sorry to hear about the boys rashes, sounds yucky.
Get braces sooner rather than later -- the sooner they're on, the sooner they're off, and TRUST ME, you'll want them off. But sheesh, an orthodontist open only one day a week? WTF is that?
