Drew had a great day at his BB session on Friday. He kept all of his stickers and got a star!!
This week marks the half-way point of Drew’s treatment. After we finish on Friday, we will go home
for a week to celebrate Abby’s birthday and participate in VBS at our
church. I’m really looking forward to
having a whole 10 days at home. We never
have enough time on the weekends.
Between getting home and unpacking on Friday evening and then church and
packing on Sunday it really only leaves us a day and a half. We live on a mini farm and trying to take of
that amid all of this has been a real challenge. But this past weekend we managed to set up
our little blow up pool. Drew loves the
water so much! So does his sister for
that matter. Abby really misses her
summer swim team.
Yesterday we had our session at noon and then went to the playground
for a picnic lunch with Adeline. Despite
the clouds it was H-O-T!! That trip didn’t
end so well however. Drew threw up at
the playground and then again when we got home.
This has been happening about every 7-10 days. The events have been very random so there is
no way to pinpoint what’s causing him to vomit.
His pediatrician thinks he may
have gastritis and wants him to take Prilosec twice a day for the next 2
weeks. We may run a stool panel to check
for bacteria and nutrient absorption.
Today we went for a swim before BB. We were going to go back after we ate an
early dinner but a thunderstorm rolled in.
Tomorrow we are going to go release butterflies, have lunch
and go bowling with Adeline.
And now for the bullets: :-)
- On Thursday on the way home from the zoo, Drew and Adeline did the “cheers” clink with their water bottles in the car. Sooo cute!
- Friday morning Abby asked Drew what time it was and he said “Time to go to Target.”
- Abby told Drew to come lay down with her and she told him the way to go to Target was to stop asking mommy all the time and when she was done trying to convince him to stop asking he jumped up, ran into the kitchen and said “Mommy I want to go to Target!”
- I made bacon and eggs for breakfast on Tuesday and I had to feed him the bacon to get him to eat it (he didn’t get that from me, I LOVE bacon!). Friday morning I put his plate of eggs and bacon in front of him and the first thing he picked up was the bacon! That’s my boy!!
- Saturday he ate roast beef, mashed potatoes and green beans. Sunday he ate chicken salad. Keep in mind he’s not volunteering to sit and eat. I have to feed it to him to convince him that he likes it. The last time I tried to get him to eat mashed potatoes he gagged, so at least that’s progress.
- He has been identifying his smells correctly for about a week now. He is doing it with picture assistance right now but in about a week, I’m going to take the pictures away.
- When he is at BB they put one of his smells on his right collar. Friday I made him smell his shirt and I asked him what it smelled like. He answered coffee, which was correct!
- We filled our pool up on Saturday so it was FREEZING. Matt was taking him time getting in. He had one foot in and one foot out. Drew told him to keep trying. When he finally got both feet in, Drew said “Nice try daddy.”
Until next time,
