I Was a Sweaty Betty!

Today was my sweat chloride test. It was not nearly as simple as the doctor made it sound. But it wasn't too bad. First, they had to put these electrodes on my arms and I had to keep those on for five minutes on one arm, then five minutes on the other. They had a slight electric current that was supposed to open up my sweat glands. Whatever, all I know is I did not like it! It made me mad because Mommy had to hold my arms. So I kept yanking the wires out of the machine and when the nurse leaned in close to make sure they were still stuck to my arm...wham! I slapped her right in the face. It wasn't very nice of me, I know, but Mommy was secretly happy that I directed my anger to the appropriate person instead of hitting myself in the face. :o) Anyway, so then they had to put these plastic discs on my arms to absorb sweat, and they turned blue when they did. I had to wear them for 30 minutes. The nurse was concerned that because I had messed with the wires so much, I might not sweat enough for what they needed. She said we might have to do it all over again. Mommy said no way! So she gave me lots of water and then took me outside in the shade so I would definitely sweat! And I did...plenty! They got twice the sweat they needed. The doctor should already have the results, so Mommy is going to start pestering them tomorrow morning for the results.

About my tummy issues, it's still not "normal" but it has changed. I didn't go poo for almost two days, and Mommy was getting really scared that I was either constipated now, or when I finally went, watch out! Well, I finally went, and let's just say she had to hose me down in the shower, scrub the dining room wall, and mop the floor. Hmmm, and we wonder why she's looking for a new job! :o) It wasn't as runny but it was still pretty messy. And now it's been a whole day since I've gone. Wonder if it will happen during Meet the Teacher at school tomorrow?! I can initiate my new teacher quickly! Oh, and Papa brought me a card today that said, "Feeling poopy? Hope you're better soon!" Mommy said it was just perfect!
