Ryan & I have been trying to adjust and cope with the news of Gray's diagnosis. Mission is FAR from accomplished. I can't even begin to express my gratefulness for everyone's support & encouragement. It came when we needed it most and we will continue to need it. So to everyone (you know who you are) thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
The combination of Gray's diagnosis, Easton still being sick, etc. (i'll get back to that), this freaking weather!, lack of work/money, needless to say, it is really testing our marriage down to every last fiber. So far tho, everyone's still alive so i guess we should just build on that. :-)
Easton's feeding has again taken a nosedive. He did make some progress but we are now at a point where he won't eat solids/baby food at all. Great. Arrrrrgh!!! He is up as we speak (yes it's 11pm) because he's decided he wants to stay up & watch last night's Tosh with us, instead of sleep. Can't really blame him, he's freaking hilarious (Tosh). He's actually giggling so loud i'm a little nervous that he's going to wake up Gray. Anyway, i digress. I have spoken to his OT & she & I have agreed to take a break from the feeding stuff, let him have his bottles (he took 48+ oz. yesterday!) and wait until he is better. He is still fighting this sinus infection or whatever it is. It wouldn't be my kid if the antibiotic didn't upset his tummy which I'm sure is contributing to the lack of appetite.*sighs* We have an appointment with ENT at children's on Monday to: 1) see if we really should consider tubes, 2) see if he has enlarged adenoids (similar to tonsils-which of course,Gray does so it wouldn't be a surprise) which is contributing to his feeding issues & 3) there was something else but i can't remember right now. He has also decided he doesn't want to sleep so I am working off 3 hours sleep and what's left of my coffee buzz.
Gray is Gray. Sweet, hilarious, busy, all that great stuff. I will continue to add to his "word list" here on the blog. The newest ones will be at the top.
I have been wearing the rosary Gram gave me (with the drops of blessed water from Lourdes-in the back of the cross) around my neck. I explained to Gray that it keeps Jesus and the Holy Mother close to me because i really need their help right now. he seemed to accept that. :-)
It all sounds bad & depressing but we are plugging along trying to find the joy & happiness in all the other daily activities & enjoying spending time with the boys who BOTH are truly a blast. Fun and energetic & entertaining little boys.
