Field Notes

Whitney, Joe and Ashton came and visited this weekend and we're having a blast. For those not in the know. Whitney is Aaron's sister, Joe is her partner and Ashton his son. We spent yesterday at the Field Museum of Natural History downtown. How can you lose with dinosaurs and little boys! Ashton's favorite thing was the baby dinosaur that he got at the gift shop. I think Ian's favorite thing was the kids playroom. That was a great area where kids could dress up, dig for bones, touch artifacts, play drums and all sorts of other stuff.

Ian went to the doctor on Thursday but not much came out of it. The doctor couldn't make a diagnosis because unless the hernia is bulging out they can't see it. So he is going to consult with our pediatrician about what she saw. He knows her because he fixed a hernia in her son which is why she recommended him. He is confident that she would know one if she saw one, so if she is 100% then we will schedule a surgery. But until we hear from the doctors we are waiting. Also Ian has a yeast infection rash so they said until that clears up, no surgery.
