Cauterize Your Own Belly Button!

Ouch. Poor V's belly button is not healing well. We went back today (his 4th visit in 15 days of life!)  and she cauterized his belly button for a long time (much longer than the first time). V screamed like a maniac as the doctor assured me that it did not hurt (yeah, right). I almost cried it looked so gross and painful. Surprise! They want us to go back again tomorrow to check it. I feel like this is the funeral business where they screw you because they can and they must have a quota of co-pays to meet because I have already spent $70 since they were born! I hope his ombliguito heals fast so he can rest well and we can take a one week break from the doctor!
