How to get nourishment...without eating...



You use your head! We are never ever bored around here. Unfortunately we need to find some alternative entertainment. We are more familiar with dad's co-workers than he himself seems to be and are at his workplace more than he is! Madi got her cast off about four weeks ago and about a week after that Aaron decided that eating was overrated! He was in the hospital for a few days where he was diagnosed with jaundice and reflux. His one week follow-up was a different story with jaundice and now colic being our supposed answer. And here we are another week later with a still hungry boy and some jaundice...SO...we're spending the night here in Somerset with some IV fluids and getting a fancy ambulance ride to Pittsburgh Children's Hospital in the morning to see some more experienced doctors and find out why my precious baby boy doesn't agree with food! We are soooo grateful for all of the support around us and don't know what we'd do without countless nights of running to Aunt Kathy next door. Grandma's have been wonderful also in picking up the slack and being there in all kinds of pinches. I am soooo grateful for prayers and promises of healing! Being a mom is the best thing ever even when one has a sick baby. As much as I want him to be all better RIGHT NOW, I love holding him and appreciating him and being reminded that even though I pick up the same shelf of books and toys 900 times every single day there is nothing in this world that I would rather be doing than taking care of my children! I am so blessed to have three wonderful, beautiful babies!
