Bummin' Around

This morning Finn had his first appointment with his pediatric surgeon.  Dr. Leslie Scott is a wonderful woman.  Last night I was telling James how nervous I was about the appointment.  I'm not entirely sure what I thought was going to happen, but I was nervous.  Having this appointment meant that Finn was very likely going to have surgery at some point in the near future.  And while this has been a reality for about a month now (as abscesses continue to appear), it's easy to pretend that the surgery doesn't exist when you're not actually having appointments with the person who will be cutting your baby boy's bum open.  The moment Dr. Leslie Scott walked into the room, I felt better about the whole situation.  She was kind and warm and caring.  While this is something you would expect about someone who specializes in pediatrics, you just never know.  Thank you Dr. Scott for making a new momma feel much better about her baby boy having surgery.
