UPDATE ON MY SWEET AUSTIN!

WELL, AFTER AN EVENTFUL DAY WE ARE ALL HOME NOW! WE GOT OFF TO A BAD START TODAY WITH A BIG SCARE! AUSTIN HAD BLOOD WORK DRAWN THIS MORNING AT 5:30 AND HIS BLOOD SUGAR WAS VERY LOW (46). SOMEHOW BETWEEN SHIFT CHANGE AND EVERYTHING THE NURSES DIDN'T CATCH THIS UNTIL ABOUT 9:30. SO THEY CAME IN TO RE-CHECK HIS BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL TO BE SURE THIS WAS RIGHT AND IT WAS DOWN TO 36, WHICH IS DANGEROUSLY LOW. THEY CALLED A CODE AND HAD A TEAM OF DOCTORS AND NURSES IN IMMEDIATELY TO START HIM ON SOME IV FLUIDS. HE WAS SO LETHARGIC AND COULD BARELY HOLD HIS EYES OPEN. THANK GOD HE DID NOT HAVE A SEIZURE BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT MOST BABIES WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING BY THIS POINT. ONCE THE IV FLUIDS WERE GOING HIS BLOOD SUGAR CAME RIGHT BACK UP. THEY BELEIVE IT WAS JUST BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN FASTING FOR HIS ENDOSCOPY,BUT CONTINUED TO CHECK IT EVERY HOUR. AFTER ALL THIS HE THEN HAD TO HAVE HIS ENDOSCOPY WHICH WENT VERY QUICK. DR. MESTRE DID SEE THAT HE HAS DUODENITIS AND ESOPHAGITIS. HE ALSO SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS. IT IS SWELLING OF THE ESOPHAGUS THAT IS CAUSED BY ALLERGIES. THIS COULD BE FOOD ALLERGIES OR ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGIES. WE WILL NOT KNOW UNTIL THE BIOPSIES COME BACK.. WE WILL ALSO KNOW MORE FROM THE PH STUDY THAT THEY DID. WE HAVE TO CALL DR. MESTRE ON MONDAY TO GET THE RESULTS. SO I WILL UPDATE YOU ALL THEN. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE CHILDREN'S STAFF. I HAVE TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MISS LESLIE ANN FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF US WHILE ON HER FLOOR!! SHE KNEW MY BABY WAS SICK AND GOT THOSE DOCTORS IN QUICK!! ALSO, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ELSE FOR STOPPING BYE, CALLING, AND SPOILING HIM WITH ALL KINDS OF TOYS AND BALLOONS! HIS BROTHER WAS IN HEAVEN WHEN HE GOT HOME WITH ALL HIS GOODIES!

I HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES TO POST, BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THEM UPLOADED YET AND I WANTED TO FINISH THE TWO YEAR PICTURES! THANK YOU KIM FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK. I DO BELIEVE THESE ARE MY FAVORITE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE THEM BLOWN UP FOR MY NEW HOUSE ONE OF THESE DAYS:)!!

WE SURVIVIED OUT FIRST NIGHT AT CHILDREN'S!

WELL, I THINK THE HARDEST PART IS ALMOST OVER. AUSTIN HAS HAD A PROBE DOWN HIS NOSE SINCE 10:00 YESTERDAY MORNING TO MEASURE THE ACID IN HIS STOMACH. THIS TEST WILL TELL THEM ALL KINDS OF THINGS ABOUT HIS REFLUX EPISODES, SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET SOME ANSWERS. HE DID NOT LIKE IT WHEN THEY PUT IT DOWN, BUT WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD? I THINK THAT HE HAS DONE SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB. HE ONLY PULLED IT OUT JUST ALITTLE BIT LAST NIGHT WHEN HE GOT UPSET. HE HAD TO STAY ON A 4 HOUR EATING SCHEDULE TOO WITH NOTHING IN BETWEEN MEALS, WHICH WAS HARD BECAUSE THEY USUALLY JUST PICK AND SIP THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE MANAGED TO ENTERTAIN HIM AND KEEP HIS MIND OFF OF EATING AND IT'S ALMOST ALL OVER WITH! MI MI HAS BEEN HERE TAKING CARE OF HIM AND SPOILING HIM WITH WAGON RIDES AND TOYS, ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE HERE!

HE WILL HAVE HIS ULTRASOUND AND ENDOSCOPY TODAY. HE WILL HAVE TO BE PUT TO SLEEP AND INTUBATED FOR HIS ENDOSCOPY, BUT ONLY FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THAT IS THE SCARIEST PART FOR ME AND DADDY! SO PLEASE PRAY FOR AUSTIN AND ALL THE DOCTORS AND NURSES THAT ARE TAKING CARE OF HIM TODAY! I KNOW HE IS IN GOOD AND HANDS AND I KNOW THAT GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF MY SWEET BOY! THEY WILL ALSO BIOPSY PART OF HIS ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH WHILE THEY ARE SCOPING HIM. I DON'T THINK WE WILL KNOW TOO MUCH TODAY ABOUT THE TEST, BUT I WILL BE SURE TO UPDATE YOU ALL SOON! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE CHILDREN'S STAFF FOR TAKING CARE OF MY SWEET BOY WHILE WE ARE HERE!

SAY A PRAYER FOR ME!!

WE ARE HEADED TO THE HOSPITAL THIS MORNING AND WILL BE THERE UNTIL SOMETIME TOMMORROW! AUSTIN WILL HAVE HIS ENDOSCOPY, PH TEST, AND AN ULTRASOUND. PLEAE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS TODAY AND I WILL UPDATE YOU ALL SOON.

I LOVE MY BOY'S!!!

TWO YEAR PICTURES!

I GOT MY PICTURES FROM KIM YESTERDAY AND I LOVE THEM ALL!! I COULD NOT BELIEVE THEY WERE SO GOOD BECAUSE THE BOYS WERE BEING LITTLE TERDS AND DID NOT WANT THEIR PICTURES TAKEN! SHE CAME OUT HERE AND TOOK THEM AND I THINK THEY ALL TURNED OUT SO CUTE! I HAVE MANY MORE TO POST BECAUSE I CAN NOT CHOOSE MY FAVORITES, SO I WILL SHARE THEM ALL!!

DRIVING THE TRACTOR!!

BARON'S GAME!

LAST NIGHT WE TOOK THE BOY'S TO THE BARON'S GAME AND THEY WERE SO GOOD! THEY WOULD WATCH THE GAME FOR A MINUTE OR TWO,BUT FOR THE MOST PART THEY WERE JUST CHECKING EVERYTHING ELSE OUT! WE HAD FUN AND I'M SURE WE WILL BE BACK!!

TAKING IT ALL IN!!

THE BOYS AND CONNER!

JAMIE AND SHAYNE WERE THERE TOO, SO WE GOT TO SEE CONNER! HE HAS GOTTEN SO BIG! THE BOY'S WERE REALLY GOOD WITH HIM AND DIDN'T EVEN CARE THAT MOMMY HELD HIM THE WHOLE TIME!!

LIKE MY NEW WALL ART?

YES, THE BOY'S WOKE UP WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER AND DECIDED TO DO ALITTLE DECORATING! THIS IS WHY I AM SO GLAD I DON'T HAVE MY NEW HOUSE YET!! IT DID WASH OFF PRETTY EASY, BUT I THINK I WOULD HAVE SPANKED SOME BOOTY IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE NEW HOUSE! DAYS LIKE THIS MAKE ME LOVE MY TRAILER EVEN MORE!! WE HAVE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE IN THE NEW HOUSE BY NEXT CHRISTMAS. SO THAT MEANS WE WILL HAVE THREE LITTLE ONE'S LIVING IN A SINGLE WIDE TRAILER FOR ALITTLE WHILE! I AM OKAY WITH THAT BECAUSE I CAN NOT KEEP UP WITH THIS THING AND LAUNDRY MUCH LESS A HOUSE AND ANOTHER LITTLE ONE WITH TONS OF LAUNDRY TOO!!
