9 months Gotcha Day

Today is 9 months Gotcha Day. It's hard to imagine that he has been with us for 9 months. Each week he grows, does new things and surprises us in many ways.


I got a call from his GI specialist last week. One of the biopsies from his endoscopy came back and he has H-Pylori. She also tested him and he is lactose intolerant. She has put him on 2 more medications, for a total of 4 now. I am so happy that I kept pushing this issue. I knew in my gut and heart that something wasn't right with him. I am also glad this wonderful speech therapist kept pushing the issue as well. Now that we have all these answers and results, it explains so much. Like the way he has acted and the way he has been eating. It is going to be a long road with his eating, but one day he will eat like a normal child.


Tanya and Oliver were staying at the beach near us for the weekend, so we drove out Saturday afternoon to visit with them. The boys were cute together, especially when they kept closing themselves in the bedroom and giggling at it. This time Shane came along and it was nice for the 4 of us to be able to talk about our experiences. It was also nice to sit back and talk with Tanya while our husbands chased after the boys.

I am so glad you kept on with the doctors. It's so important that we all do that to make the right choices for their futures! I'm glad you got to spend some time with another family!

I am so glad your persistence paid off and the doctors finally found what was going on in Bryson's tummy! I hope he can get rid of the H.Pylori soon and that the meds start helping with his eating!

Happy 9 months!

Letting the men chase the little ones sounds so refreshing.

Happy 9 months!
