What you lookin' at?

Our peds office has been closed for 5 days. Really people? I know you're a military clinic and all, but come on!  I really want to talk to you!!!  (yes, if it were a seriously urgent matter, there is someone on call.)

There's been a development in our household, or should I say in Jack.  His left eye seems to be a little...um...off.  Let me show you.


Do you see it? How his left eye seems to be a little off center...or something*?  I'm calling his peds office as I'm typing this (started this Tuesday and finishing it Wednesday morning). 

You see, there's a family history of having a lazy eye. Let me show you.
You can click on the picture to make it larger, and unfortunately Grandad must have not used his drops that day because his eye isn't even open. Let's just say it doesn't point in any useful direction. (and OMG check out Trip's chunky things!!!! He was such a chunk for such a short period!)

Oh yeah, and I was informed yesterday by our nutritionist that Trip is considered at risk due to being underweight because his height/weight ratio is less than 20%. Seriously? It's called genetics, people! My brother is scrawny and my sister was until her thyroid decided to crap out.  And let's not forget one of Tim's brother is also scrawny. Plus, if I wasn't feeding my kids, don't you think they'd both be skinny? Get a grip, people.

Aaannnndddd we have an appointment for tomorrow at 11:10 am. Have I mentioned how tight our schedule is? And that lunch is precisely at noon with nap precisely at 12:30 or else all hell breaks loose and naps may or may not be had. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that they get us in and out with a referral to a pediatric ophthalmologist (hoping they just refer us to the children's hospital).

*I'm aware I may be overreacting, but this is my son and anything I can do to prevent him being teased in school...you get it, right?
