I want to spend my time today to think about the fact that it is Good Friday. We had such a moving service last year w/ the journey for Good Friday. We had a stations of the cross set up. Our best friend Adam drew very amazing pictures of the stations of the cross and we took time of prayer at each station...
My poor Wyatt hasn't been feeling well for quite awhile now... And we had seen another pediatrician who kind of thought it was a lactose intolerance... blah blah... Anyhow, we got in (luckily) to our pediatrician who was booked, and explained the situation. We (Big Grams and I) explained that he has been listless lately, not sleeping well, drinking fine, but eating basically nothing, lethargic, tired, and then has spurts of activeness, followed by spurts of cuddliness (did I mention that he never cuddles w/ me?). Anyhow, there was probably plenty of other things that we told her about Wyatt... we also told her of the things that kind of run in our family, Celiac disease (Em), Lactose Intolerance (Grams), and acid reflux (Kir). I explained also that for the last three days he has had diarreah... Anyhow she mentioned a couple possibilities, and suggested a x-ray of his abdomen, and also a blood panel to test for Celiac disease (if blood shows signs of it, then we would have to have an endoscopy where they would take a biopsy), and also for milk/egg allergy. Wooohooo praise God! I am so thankful that Dr. Swanson actually helped out! (I don't have good luck with doctors, although she has been good all along, just always busy busy!) So we took him down and he laid still for the x-ray. The Radiologist took me to see his x-ray and I could see myself, w/ no special training, that the poor boy is stopped up! Anyhow, then came the blood work. Handled it like a man, I must say... he did well, cried, but didn't squirm.. So they called later to tell me that the doc ordered for us to buy miralax (laxative) and mix it in his drink. They also called later to say that his hemoglobin/WBC count, and mono test were all fine (Praise God again!), so I went to Walgreens and mixed up his kiddie coctail. We went out w/ little Gram for awhile, and then came home and relaxed and watched a show that he likes, anyhow, I got up to take out the DVD and send him off to bed, and... ugh he threw up three times. I got him in the tub, and then spent the rest of the evening cleaning up our couch, floor, and foot rest... poor boy~! Anyhow, today I called to see what the doc wants to do, if I should just keep up w/ the medicine (I sure hope not!), or if I should give him something else...
Today we have Sophie, and then my two nieces, and youngest nephew... So, thankful he is perky and fine this morning otherwise I was going to cancel w/ all the other kiddos... I think he will have a better day today, he actually ate breakfast! wooohooooo! (Seriously this is a big step up... he never eats breakfast!) So, please keep little Wyatt in prayer, we see our pediatrician for the test results, and also Adalai's 12 month check up on Tuesday of next week.
Other then that, nothing much else is going on. I have been just trying to help w/ Wyatt any way I can! I am happy that it is the weekend, and that we are going to be able to take it easy. We are supposed to go to the Elegant farmer w/ my mom, and out w/ my sister in law tomorrow, but I am not sure what is happening until the little guy feels a bit better. And then of course Sunday is Easter!
Anyhow, I want to spend my time today to think about the fact that it is Good Friday. We had such a moving service last year w/ the journey for Good Friday. We had a stations of the cross set up.
