Pre-Op Testing

So today, I did my pre-op testing, which consisted of a chest x-ray, EKG, urine sample and blood being drawn. I also met with my antesthesiologist(oh I know I spelled that all wrong). I also attended the two hour pre-op class. I honestly didn't learn anything that I didn't know thanks to all the research I have done and this site.

Tomorrow I just have to get my clearance from my PCP and then I am all set for surgery on the 5th. You guys wish me luck.

Thank you guys. I know that God have my back and I will get the clearance tomorrow, but of course a lil part of me is nervous. But if I gave it to God I have to let go of it so he can do his thing.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
