Freaking out about my 3yr old!

So I've been in a really anxious state for the last week. My kids stayed with my parents for a few days and when we went to get them my dad expressed concern over my 3yr old sons appearance. His skin has an orangy yellowish look to it. It's more pronounced on the soles of his feet, knees, and the palms of his hands. But it's definitely all over.

I guess I had noticed it but I'm color blind so I just thought he was darker in skin tone to my other two kids. He doesn't eat a whole lot of orange things or all the other veggies that would cause this if eaten in excess. I googled it (I know, I know) and it said it could possibly be diabetes or some sort of liver or thyroid issue.

I've called his pedi and explained things to her and she wants to see him. We can't get him in until Tuesday morning. Until then, I'm just freaking out!

I guess I just needed to vent a little about that. It helps a lot to put my worries to word, written or vocal. So thanks for reading!

Thanks Scaredy Cat.

Waiting is the worst. My mind just keeps coming up with things it could be. What worries me the most is she did want to see him today but they didn't have an opening. She actually asked me to cancel my daughters braces appointment Tuesday so she could see him.

He does drink constantly. He's always thirsty. And he pees a TON. Seriously, he's always wet and potty training him has been so hard because he pees so much. Both of those are symptoms of type 1 diabetes, but they could also just be he's a thirsty kid and pees a lot as a result. Of course I can't convince myself of that at the moment.

I also had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with him. I don't know if that puts him at a higher risk for type 1? Who knows. Probably not but it's another concern I have at the moment.

Luckily I see my therapist Tuesday afternoon so I can talk with her right after my sons appontment.

Worried
Dont know but i suspect Jaundise (spelling might be wrong) but I don't know if 3 yr olds get it I know its common on newly born, I don't even want to suspect diabetes that's very dangerous and i hope its not it in Jesus name..
Take it easy girl.

Older guy, thank you. I really hope so as well.

Prew, I mentioned jaundice to the pedi and she really doesn't think so because generally they don't have bowel movements and my son is going fine. And it's mostly in newborns. I really hope it's not diabetes either. Fingers crossed!

Scaredy, I'm doing alright. Using lots of coping skills. I've also just finished my period which always is a anxious time, so there's that lol. I'll be sure to check in Tuesday
