Pictures!

As you may have noticed, I haven't had any pictures to put on the blog for a while. I had left my camera battery charger at Dave and Mere's. Thankfully, Mere sent it to me today, so I'm back in business!

Actually, I haven't had too much to take pictures of lately. Joey is still battling something. I took him back to his pediatrician on Tuesday after he puked again at lunch. I just felt like there was something else going on than just a stomach bug. He is just so pale, tired and has a bloated stomach, and he's still having weird stools. He had some blood drawn (he took it like a champ with minimal crying!) and had an x-ray of his abdomen yesterday. So far, nothing looks too bad. (For those of you who are interested: he had a mildly elevated WBC count and the x-ray showed some thickening and edema of his bowel walls and lots of gas). But we also don't really have an answer yet. Right now we are treating him for an intestinal parasite with Flagyl. We are really hoping that is all it is and that this medicine will take care of it. We also have been giving him Culturelle hoping to restore the natural bacteria in the intestines. They are also testing him for Celiac Disease, which we are hoping it is not. We should know by tomorrow or Friday if it is (blood work can tell us that). Please be praying for us and for the doctors that we can figure out what is going on. It's not easy having a sick child and not knowing how to fix him! I'll let you all know as soon as I know something.

Here's a few photos of Kylah looking as cute as ever. We're still working on sleeping through the night. One night she does great (7:30-7am), but then the next she wakes up twice---I think we're making progress though.

Gotta love the drool!

Getting ready to eat some cereal...she knows what's coming!

Joey actually looks better tonight than he has in a while. He went to the store with me and got some popcorn chicken and a little bit of a cheeseburger. And then he got some pudding when we got home (that's why he's so happy in this picture!) Notice the blanket we are sitting on. This has become standard wherever Joey is sitting. We learned the hard way after scrubbing poop/diarrhea off both the couch and the recliner!!

Munching on some popcorn chicken. You may also notice he's still sporting his bracelet from the hospital...I'm pretty sure that's not coming off without a fight!
