Sorry I haven't updated lately I tried earlier today but my computer went off line right in the middle of reading Noels posts. (I hate dial-up, but alas I'm a country bumpkin and that's all I can get out here. I hope everyone had a good weekend and a nice Monday. Tomorrow Blake and I are going to Indainapolis to Riley's cardiologist team. I had better luck with Dr. Kim last Thursday he had Blake come back Friday for a CT scan they didn't have to sedate him they just swaddled him while he went through the machine. Dr. Kim said they were able to get a good picture. We have an appt back in Louisville with Dr. Kim Wednesday. This week's better than last Blake had five appts last week two on Tuesday so we where busy all week. I'm taking him to Riley to get a 2nd opinion I hate to have Blake go through anymore tests than he has to, but if anything were to happen I don't want to look back and think I should've done more.
Not to switch subjects but I just wanted to give a shout out to my cutie pie step-son and let everone know he turned nine today. We let him have 3 friends over to spend the night Saturday they all seemed to have a good time. It seems when you get them together like that their appetitie doubles. I swear they about ate everything I had in the fridge and cabinets I need to grocery shop again.

Slow speed internet & Dr. Yang
I have attempted to post about 5 times now since I've been home but my dial-up keeps acting up in numerous ways. Well that was one good thing about the hospital it's wireless Internet. Their where many good things but plenty not so good either.
Having Blake home it's great much better than seeing him at the hospital. I'm just a ball of nervous about 90% of the time and I've had about 5 minutes of sleep in the past week. We've had 4 doctor appointments since he's been home and I also have visiting nurses coming to the house twice a week.
At his last doc appt yesterday they officially told me Blake's going to have another cath. I knew this was coming it will probably be in the next month to six weeks. This isn't what upset the doctor was adamant about sedating Blake at his next appt to get his echo. We had been in 3 different rooms during the 3 hours this appointment was lasting. Blake was tired and it was time for him to eat and so he didn't hold still for this past echo. He's 14 weeks old he's not suppose to especially under those circumstances. Well Dr. Yang is hard to understand (Yang need i saw more on why he;s hard to understand, I don't have anything against any of his doctors for not being American born and breed I just want to understand them when their telling me about my baby.) I don't think Blake needs to be sedated for his echo because of the doctors offices incompetence to schedule appointments correctly and I just don't want Blake sedated. Well I let Dr. Yang know how I felt I tried to be rational with him I really wasn't trying to argue with him. Well he got all flustered, 'You need lisssen ew me I wise Black (yes he refers to Blake as Black) need sedation to get picture good,' I said I'm not trying to argue with you he informed me that I was twice and stated I was being rude no joke. I swear I really was not trying to argue with this man. He just seemed in a flustered mode as soon as he saw Blake. If I had to describe his little tantrum how I perceive him, I swear it's like he's a little teenage girl on her period who just got dumped by the quarter back. This is how he was acting. But for Blakes sack I was trying to get along. Another Doctor ended up coming in Dr. Subcheck he agreed with me that Blake didn't need sedated if we where going to do that we might as well do the cath is what he told me.
Well when I finally got done feeding Blake in the waiting room and the whole ordeal was over I did cry a tad bit. I just feel awful that I might of put Blake (a.k.a Black by Dr. Yang) in a position to not receive the best care by Dr. Yang. But I do feel that I was just in not wanting Blake to be sedated I just wish I had had a less touchy doctor I believe I would have been better able to communicate my concerns. After the appt prior to this one Blake actually fell asleep during the echo. I brought that up to Dr. Yang to. That echo should have had great pictures. Please everyone tell me how you would have handled this situation. I just feel I shouldn't have let it get out of hand. I called when we finally got home and spoke to Dr. Subcheck and an office manager Blake won't be seen by Dr. Yang there are after all 9 their Drs he can be seen by. For some reason I feel Dr. Yang won't feel hurt when he finds this information out!:)
I would post a pic of Blake from his welcome home party, he looked so cute but my slow speed won't allow picture posting it seems.
By the way can someone let me know how do I put 'blogs I read' everyone elses link on my blog, thanks in advance.

Blake is a resident of Indiana, not Kentucky anymore, Yeah!
Blake's home it's been a little bumpy, but so so nice to cozy up to him at home and not in front of his nurse. Oh, and I don't have to drive 45 minutes to see him. All I have to do is get out of bed. Oh, he's right beside in his bassinet so or in his glider or swing AT HOME!!! I have to run sorry if I can't update for a while i'm sure everyone will understand!
