It's been a l..o..n..g.. week for our Little Man

Kade had his 9 month check up on Wendesday. The doc said he is healthy, happy and is going to be TALL! (like we didn't know that!) However, while in talking with the doc, they always check the genitals and asked to have Kade's diaper taken off. After a short look she says, "Do you want that skin pulled back? He really needs it done to prevent infections...." . Most of you know that I have been bringing this to her attention since he was 2 weeks old. I had told her that the circumcision wasn't completed. So now at 9 months with NO numbing cream or anything she asks me to hold his feet & she YANKED & TORE the skin from the head of his willy. OMGosh!!! He was screaming, there was blood, and he is very uncomfortable. Here are his measurements:

Height: 32 inches
Weight:24.7
Head: 18 3/4

Since our visit, Kade has contracted some kind of virus that had us in the ER to get fluids. Since his body didn't want to keep them in. Poor guy, we spent all of Thursday night until 6am in the ER and then back to the peds clinic on friday from 12-3pm. We left with information that his white blood cell count was high, and that means there is an infection.(duh) But they didn't Rx any antibiotics. Tonight he has had some pedialite and a little oatmeal. However, things are looking good, he is keeping it all down. (All of this while trying to cut his 4th tooth.)

Here is a pic of our "very tall" Kade
