I have found peace

It's amazing what $249 can bring into your home! The boys have been peacefully(but not quietly) playing with the newest addition to our house for two days now. Yes folks, we broke down and bought a Wii. I must admit, it is fun, and my arm actually hurts from playing tennis! Go figure. I think we are going to look for the Wii fit after the holidays and see what that is about too.

Elijah's test results came back normal. I am so relieved to hear that. He is feeling much better, so it looks like January will bring some "normal" back to our home. Whatever normal is anyway.

no news is good news

We haven't heard back yet from the doctor. They found four areas of suspicion and took some biopsies. The only good thing is at least we know that he was having pain for good reason. She said that there was an area as she entered the stomach from the esophagus that was "red, swollen and pillowy." I'll be interested to hear what that was. He has had three good days now. That's a first since October! Yeah, keep getting better Lij!

spending the night with the bub

Elijah had a procedure scheduled at the hospital very early this morning, so my Mom offered to keep Sam and take him to school. Sam was excited at the prospect, but was a little worried about "the village." "What are you talking about Sam, what village?" He said "you know, where she lives, her village." Duh,(big slap on the head,) "you mean her neighborhood." "Yeah, that's what I said." Ha ha, funny boy.
They went to McDonalds for pancakes this morning where he convinced the Bub that he got to have Sprite for breakfast. Um, yeah, not.

Dr. Bob Baloney

Is there a doctor in the house? Why yes, here he comes, it's Dr. Bob Baloney. Open wide and say Ahhh! (I'd like to be just a smidge a creative as Sam, just spending a few moments in his head would make my day!)

super trooper

Elijah is still not feeling well. He got sick November 1, and is still not back to normal. We are working with the docs though, and trying just about everything to help him feel better.

Sam has been such a GREAT kid through all of this. Just rolling with the punches and going with the flow. He started riding the bus home yesterday. It saves me such time, and I know he has fun. There is a little girl from his class named Julienne that is very excited to have him on the bus with her. When I asked him what she thought about him riding, he said " I don't know, she just kept going "poke,poke,poke on my head"" Me thinks someone has a crush on my little boy!
