Hospital Again

On Monday night Luke hadn't woken up to eat which is very unusual so I decided to get him up to feed him and realized he had a temperature. Given his history we decided to take him to the ER. He was admitted and went through all the tests that he went through 3 weeks ago. This time they found an urinary tract infection again and investigated further. He has reflux which means his ureters and kidneys have excess fluid in them because his ureters are not closing off properly and fluid from his bladder backs up into them. This is sometimes caused by immature ureters and will fix it's self, but Luke's case is pretty bad so it might mean surgery. We have an appointment on Monday with a urologist and then hopefully we will know more. We are going home tomorrow (Sunday) and I am so glad. I can't wait to sleep in a real bed and eat real food.

Luke is doing great now and will be on antibiotic so he shouldn't get any more infections. He is growing like crazy and weighs 11 pounds now. I think half the weight is in his head which just flops around because he can't hold it up. He is a cute little boy and we love him and are glad he is getting the help he needs.
Marc came for a quick visit to see his little brother. He didn't last long because there were so many neat things to play with. He loves his little brother and kept saying Luke, sick. I am sure he will be grateful to get back to normal life, but will miss being able to play with different people every day. Thanks to all those who have helped watch him. You helped make this whole thing so much easier.

Blessing Day and Family

We blessed Luke on Sunday. Matt's parents and brother were able to be there with us. It was a wonderful day and we are grateful to have Luke in our family.




Marc loves shoes and loved that Grandma's almost fit so he could wear them around.
Grandma was great to take care of the boys so I could get some extra sleep. Marc loved playing with her and we loved having her with us.

While Matt's family was in Spokane we went to several parks and had a fun time together. We rode a carousel and at first Marc liked the horses, but as it started to speed up he hated it and started to scream. Matt and I had fun though.
I love my boys!!!
