Ready, sorta. Summer is hard here because Micah (3 yrs old) is extremely heat intolerant. So we can’t be outside after 10am usualy, unless he is in the pool (doesn’t like sprinklers yet). Because of this, we are […]

I’m there with ya too. My 2 year old is hurting, big time. We have spent every minute of the last 4 days on my bed with him on serious pain meds, trying to keep him out of the hospital for pain control, but still […]

Ugh, I hate finding new providers! We went through half a dozen GI doctors with Jennifer before I completely gave up on them. Turns out we needed an endocrinologist and an allergist, not a GI doc. But anyway, I hear ya.

We’re doing okay. The worry wrap serves a dual purpose… I’m making another one and it’s keeping me occupied! She wanted a snuggle wrap that the 3 of us can share if we need snuggles with extra comfort. So […]

Oy vey. A sedated CT scan, 3 sets of chest x-rays (so 12 total) a thoracentesis and 3 nights in the hospital and we come home with a diagnosis of reactive airway. Yeesh!

Thanks ladies. They’re going to do a thoracentesis tomorrow morning to drain the fluid and run some tests on it. Then we’re going to see if he improves, how much, and how long it takes for it to come back. Then we’ll have to decide if we are going to mess with the shunt that’s [...]

Alrighty then… now they’re saying he doesn’t have an infection, so we’re trying to figure out what is going on and what needs to be done about it. He’s been admitted because he wasn’t improving on the antibiotics and we need some answers!
