Just As Mom Thought

Do you ever ask yourself if you should just do what you think is right? I should have went with what my gut instinct was yesterday, because that is exactly what the Dr said today.

It seems like Hunter's bowels just slow down after 4 or 5 weeks. We seem to go good for a while and then after about 4 or 5 weeks we seem to hit a wall. The plan is to continue to do what we are doing now, but on the 3rd day if he has not stooled a lot we should start with 24 hours of rectal irrigation's. Thank goodness I am already a pro at this.

Hopefully this will do the trick and keep him from having another explosive day like he did yesterday. He is still not tolerating feeding well today, so we are going to do the wonderful pedialyte and ease him back in to feedings after his bowels calm down.

Poor little man. We continue to pray this gets him over the hump. Next thing will be to do a Valium enema and take a look and see if there is a narrowing or suture that are causing him issues. Hoping we don't have to travel that road, that comes with a whole new set of issues.

Thanks for checking in on Hunter. God Bless

And We Wait

Yep, that is the truth, and we wait. Hunter is having some GI issues, again. After talking with Pediatricians office and GI in Madison we went in to the Peds office and had an X-Ray to see what is going on. Now, we have to sit and try to be patient.... all of you that know me know that is not one of my finer qualities. I guess, I just want to get to the bottom of this. I feel so bad for the little man, seems like we put a bandaid on things, and before you know it we start having issues again.

Please pray that we get Hunter's GI issues under control once and for all. We'll keep you posted.

God Bless

So Big!

So Big! That is sort of an oxymoron when I am talking about my boys. Big, they are not. Vertically challenged, that is more like it. I always joke about how my boys are such little peanuts, must be because they all have such big hearts and so much love to give.

We recently had new pictures taken. As I look through all the pictures, it reminds me just how "big" our boys are getting. It reminds me just how lucky I really am and how different all their personalities are.
Here is a perfect example. We were trying so hard to get a new family picture.... leave it to Hayden to always make it interesting. The one you think would be posing for the camera, was but in the wrong way.

I do have to say he always keeps things interesting. But, the reality is this is our family. This is really the perfect picture that truly represents our family.

Then there is our precious Hunter. Can you say breathtaking? What a stud!













Then there is Mr. Hayden, who really is such a loving guy













And last but not least my little pistol!









All the joys of my life. How perfect!
God Bless
