Re: Update on 's Red Spot TO MELISSA

[Guest guest]

Resi's spot was better on Sunday so I left it on all day and she

slept in it. We didn't go to CT yesterday because they were only in

the OakBrook office and the spot did look alot better. However

today it was a little more red than it was the previous days. We

are seeing Joanne Chung.

I'm headed out of town this weekend and Resi is going to stay with

my parents down in Joliet. We are going to stop at the Oak Brook

office tomorrow on the way down.

I worked in healthcare for the last 10 years and I've seen all of

the praise for CT in this group and I have to say that I've learned

more reading from peoples' firsthand experience than I have in the 2

visits at CT. I guess I ended up having a higher expectation of the

service.

That's great that you were given more information on this last

visit. Resi is my first baby so I'm a little more protective than I

probably would be if she were #2 or #3. Is adjusting well

now?

Hey, my husband and I go to the Reel Mom's movie on Saturdays at the

Loews theater there at 55 & 355. Would you maybe want to meet up

some Saturday. It is a great program if you are unfamiliar with

it. They have the first run movies playing for the parents and

babies up to 1 year old. It is at 10am every Saturday.
