UPDATE ON MY LITTLE AUSTIN!

AUSTIN WENT FOR A FOLLOW UP WITH HIS GI DOCTOR LAST WEEK AND HE HAS BEEN DOING GREAT, BUT HAD NOT GAINED ANY WEIGHT SINCE AUGUST. HE WEIGHED 28 LBS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN DOING GREAT AND HAS NOT THROWN UP ONCE SINCE WE STARTED THE STEROID. WE ACTUALLY STOPPED IT BECAUSE HE WAS DOING SO GOOD. DR. MESTRE DID NOT SEEM TOO CONCERN AND WAS HAPPY TO HEAR HE HAS BEEN DOING SO GOOD. WE ARE GOING TO STAY ON HIS NEXIUM FOR A MONTH AND THEN GO OFF OF IT FOR A MONTH AND SEE HOW HE DOES. THE ONLY WAY TO CHECK HIS EE IS TO HAVE ANOTHER ENDOSCOPY,SO THAT WILL BE OUR NEXT STEP TO SEE IF IT HAS GOTTEN ANY BETTER. OTHER THAN NOT GAINING ANY WEIGHT HE IS DOING GREAT. HE IS DOING VERY GOOD WITH HIS SPEECH THERAPY AT SCHOOL TOO AND LOVES MRS. STEPHANIE. SHE COMES FROM CHILD'S PLAY THERAPY ONCE A WEEK AND WORKS WITH HIM. HE ADORES HIS TEACHERS TOO AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY. MRS. TONI SENT A NOTE HOME LAST WEEK TALKING ABOUT HIM AND HOW MUCH FUN THEY HAD READING A BOOK TOGETHER. HE LOVES ONE ON ONE TIME AND WILL GO WITH WHOMEVER TO GET IT. IF MI MI OR GI GI COME OVER THEN HE ASK IF HE CAN GO TO THEIR HOUSE TO SPEND THE NIGHT. HE WOULD SPEND THE NIGHT AWAY EVERY NIGHT IF WE WOULD LET HIM. HE JUST KNOWS THAT HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS A LOT EASIER WHEN IT IS JUST HIM AND HE GETS THEIR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. HE IS SO FULL OF LIFE AND SO SWEET. HE STILL HAS HIS LITTLE TEMPERS,BUT HE REALLY IS SWEET. THEY GOT TO GO SHOPPING AT SCHOOL TODAY WITH MONEY I SENT FOR THEM TO BUY EACH OTHER A GIFT AND HE CAME HOME WITH SOMETHING FOR EACH ONE OF US. HE WAS SO EXCITED TO GIVE JAX AND I ARE SURPRISES TODAY. HE LOVES JAXSON TO DEATH AND TAKES CARE OF HIM. HE WILL ALWAYS COME RUNNING TO ME WHEN HE HEARS JAX WAKE UP AND TELL ME TO GO AND GET HIM. I AM SO PROUD OF MY BABY BOY AND THANK GOD FOR BLESSING ME WITH HIM!
