Dr's Apt!!!

Lately it seems like the boys love to go to the dr.

Gavin is still a puzzle to the Drs. All of His specialty Drs got together and decided on a plan of action a few weeks ago. They are planning on doing :

• adding a breathing dr
  
• MRI to check for a malformation at the back of the brain
• Take out his tonsils and adenoids
• Do a Laringosacopy/ Broncosopy (sp)
• And alot of blood work that i can't explain

they want to do all of this in one sitting so that they only have to put him to sleep once. That is where we are at with him.

Brandon Sprained his ankle very badly about 6 weeks ago. With much encouragement we got him to go and get an Xray and see a specialist. Then he had to get an MRI because he tore some tendons. He was supposed to get surgery but the tendon that he injured may actually repair it self over 6 months. It is a 50/50 bet if it will but if it doesn't that he will have to get surgery. He then will be out of commission for 16 weeks with crutch's and everything! So we pray that it fixes itself.

But a bit of Good news!! We put a bid in on a house and they excepted but we are doing inspections and all that good stuff so we are hoping!!!! yeah!!

SICK OF SNOW!!

We are getting cabin fever!! Gavin has had his taste of being able to walk around outdoors and He can't get enough now!! he will bring his Jacket to me and then point to the door!! He loves being outside, now lets hope for some more warm weather!!

Gavin is now able to eat small pieces of cracker and yogurt bites about the size of his finger tip which for him is a great improvement. He also is feed them to himself. Now it is just a fight for him to eat baby food cause he wants to be a big boy!!! Little steps!!! He also is talking a whole lot more but nothing that is really understandable to be a word or it sounds like it and then he will never say it again.

Can't wait for spring witch means BBQ's and freinds and camping We can't wait!!

Gavin's Endoscopy

Gavin had his Endoscopy this smorning. We had to be there at 5 am no fun at all but gavin was in a great mood and was just happy as a clam. We Got to be in the room which was kinda freaky but interesting. They put him under and did the scope in less then 15 min and said everything went well and looked good other then his tonsils look a little big. they also biopsied his intestines, stomach and esophogus. We wont know the results for about to weeks.
I am glad that it is done but i still just feel like i have no answers to what is making him not eat normal. I had this idea in my head that they would find something and it would all be answered and we would start the process of getting him to eat real food. I instead feel like i am still at square one with another test down and who knows how many more to go before we get an answer. In the end it just is great to see that he is doing okay and still my happy little boy!!!

Thanks to everyone who had him in your thoughts and prayers today We really appreciate them!!!

New year New adventures!!

Merry Christmas!!!

So i have been really bad at updating this but i am going to try my darndest to be good again.

We have had a wonderful Christmas season so far.
We saw Santa at the children's museum. We were with Arayah and Rachelle and we let arayah talk to him first and then we put him on his lap. He as ok while arayah was with him but when she got down He started the lip and almost cried. We Took him again to see if it would go better and we were so Wrong!! He would not let go of me and had his head in my shoulder and would not move or even look at him. Not what i expected but still a great memory.



We had christams with the Westerns and the Dingers last weekend. We had a wonderful time and the kiddos got to play together and it was alot of fun. We have had Christmas with my parents and sister, It is always nice to have christmas the way you grew up and Gavin had a blast!! We have so much more to go and we are enjoying every min of watching Gavin enjoy it all!!

We are still in the baking process and have only had a few causalities to Gavin But he is loving watching them bake!!

Computers hate me that means really bad at updates

since the last time i updated the blog Gavin has turned one, he is crawling, he is pulling himself up, and has most of his front teeth. and he is close to walking!!! We have gone to the state fair, a family reunion, a trip to cinni. ,the zoo and haley turned one and joshua has turned two!!
That is alot!!! My computer hates me so i dont have internet but i am hopeing to have that fixed soon!!

Gavin had a great birthday! on his birthday we went to a surgen to find out about his cyst and he said it didn't seem to affect anything and just to watch it. We had a party at our house and it was a blast he did a good job of screwing up his cake just none of it went in his mouth.

Gavin's dr. decided that we should see a neroligist because of gavin's delay and eatting issues. So we saw her and loved her and she couldn't get enough of Gavin. We have to see how far he progresses before his next visit if not we might have to get an mri So because of that he may have to be put under so we went to go see an ENT (ear, nose and throat dr) and we are now waiting to go threw a swallow study and meet with a speech therepist and wait to see if he has food allergy. It has been along road with drs but we are progressing each day more and more. and we are just happy that he is a happy boy and we love him.

gavin also got his first hair cut!! how sad he is getting to be a big boy

My grandma turned 90 this year so i made her 3 cakes and put 30 candels on each. One had beer tabs on it, one had a tolit, and one hadcards.
