Today I took the boys to their appointment with the Dr. She was AWESOME. Dr. Bental is a DO not an MD and they tend to run more along the lines of homeopothy then traditional medicine. She was very nice, patient with my children and very caring. When she asked me if Ryan slept in a bed or a crib, I told her we co-sleep. She smiled and said "Do you read Mothering Magazine". That made me smile too because I have never known a Dr. that even heard of it, nevertheless known what it was about.

On the way to the appointment, I started to get a migrane. I have had 3 migranes since I've graduated highschool and usually I get them only under extreme stress. My vision goes fuzzy on one half, I follow by not making sense when I speak and then comes the pain. When I realize what was happening, I took 4 advil and tried as best as I could to get through the appointment. By the end, I was nautious, in pain, and not really absorbing what we talked about. I asked if it was alright if I came back tomorrow to finish up and get the referrals and things that I needed and she said yes. She is not going to be there but her nurse would assist me.

She also gave me the number of a homeopath to talk to about Avery's hyperactivity. She said there is a suppliment that he can take that might help. Also with Ryan's vaccinations, she suggested I start him on Vitamin C to help boost his immune system and cope with the onslaught.

I guess I was more stressed about this visit then I thought. When I came home, I laid down in bed and started dozing off (usually the only way I can cope with a Migrane). Ryan was pretty upset so I took him in bed with me and he immediately fell asleep. Avery entertained him and I slept off and on for a good 4 hours. I woke up and felt much better.

I ordered Papa John's online and can't wait for it to get here. I'm so hungry!!!
