A trip to the Doctor

I am tired, so I will make this brief.

Macie & Abrie had a well child appointment today. The doctor asked if I had any questions regarding my children. I said, "yes, I have two. First, Abrie has a wart (I know so un-girlie like) and Macie eats EVERYTHING". The doctor responds, "the wart is fine, it will go away". Me, "but the wart has been there for two years...you really think that it's going to go away?". Doctor, "yes". Ok, whatever. On to the next question (Macie's eating habits). Doctor, "it's completely normal for kids to put things in their mouth, it's just a phase.". Me, "Really, it's completely normal for a child to eat kitty litter and swallow 4, 3 inch toy bugs!?". Doctor, "yes, you want to hear a funny diaper story?" not really, but I nod politely just to act like I care. Then the doctor continues to tell me how her little Timmy pooped out blueberries and her husband almost ate one on accident. First of all, how in the heck does your husband almost eat a piece of poo. Second of all, I don't really care all that much. And third of all, can we get back to me and my problems.

So after I give her a smile and a courtesy laugh we continue onto Macie. She offers a hemoglobin test for my sake to show me that there was nothing to worry about. Then states sarcastically, "we don't usually worry until they're sucking on broken glass and thumbtacks". Me, "then you should probably start worrying. I pulled a thumbtack out of her mouth the other day". So they did the quick test and her iron came back low. I'm actually surprised it was low. With the amount of dirt she's been eating she should be off the charts.

So now I will be going back in to do some more blood work on my child with the eating disorder. I guess it could be worse. I heard on the radio today that they found a lady that had 15 inch in diameter hair ball in her stomach. Apparently, hair is not digestible either.

Oh, and as of today small diamonds, Polly pockets accessories, and heart shaped beads are non-digestible as well.
