The trio went on Friday to the doctor's office for a weight check. Young Luke had some breakfast before we left (really it was second breakfast by then) and seemed to be in good spirits on the trip there. We signed in and were just waiting in the waiting room, when Ben and Kristina heard a sound that can only be described as an explosion coming from Young Luke's pants. Ben sighed and picked up Luke to head to the mens room together, when a nurse came out and called, "Luke!". So we trodded off to the consultation room instead, put him on the table and unwrapped his blanket to inspect the damage.
It was significant. For the first time in his young life, the diaper failed to keep everything contained, and excrement was on his outfit, his socks, and his blanket. Factor in his kicking legs while Ben was cleaning him up, and the mess got even messier. Naturally, just as he was getting clean, the waterworks started up causing additional mess and delays.
The nurse took it in stride, though we could tell even she was impressed with the display. When the question came of "How many BM's has he been having daily?" she mentioned that this one counted as two.
The positive that came from the experience is that she was able tell us that the stool was "good in color". The negative of course is that the estimated 6-8 oz of excrement caused Luke to be summoned back for another weight check, along with his comprehensive physical, on Monday. Hopefully that visit will be a little less eventful.

Good job, Luke! Sounds like Little O's first visit. Oy vey.
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear that part of the story, only that he'd lost weight. I guess you have to expect that will happen sometimes... as you know I've had very similar experiences with Kailey and Madison.
