The Kiddos

Lauren was taken to the doctor yesterday because she wasn't eating. On Tuesday she only ate a total of 13 oz and by 1 pm she had only eaten 4 oz; plus she was spitting up a whole lot. So I made an appointment for her. The ped. wasn't too worried about her since she didn't have a fever, no signs of a cold and everything else was normal. She said maybe she was just going through a down time. She had plenty of wet diapers and a couple of poopy diapers so she wasn't dehydrated. The doc said to just keep an eye on her and if anything changes, ie, fever, cold, throwing up, real fussy when eating, etc then to bring her back. Today she did good. She has had 12 oz to eat and just a little bit of spit up. I think she is back to normal.
Kyle met the neurologist today. He looked him over, checked his motor control and muscles, things like that. He ordered some blood work done to make sure there wasn't anything in his DNA for him being slow. We talked to him about MS and he doesn't feel that Kyle should be tested yet. The test is very expensive and its just a gene test to see if he may have and it isn't 100% accurate. For the MS, the doc said its something to just keep an eye on but he doesn't feel that Kyle will develop it. It will take three/four weeks for the test results to come back.
On a positive note...Kyle ate a banana with key lime yogurt yesterday. I cut one up to see if he would eat it..he ate four bites without the yogurt then seemed like he wasn't going to eat anymore. So I got the yogurt to feed him but he kept saying bite and looking at the banana so i mixed it and he loved it. Gobbled it all up. This morning he actually fed himself his grits. He made a huge mess but I was so happy and proud of him. This is the first time he actually grabbed the spoon and wanted to feed himself and ended up doing his whole meal. Yipee. So we are making progress. He can now say: mama, dada, baba, baby, bite, light, bye bye, up, out, and sometimes off and on and down. We are getting there.
Katherine is doing well. She has been doing the soccer thing and bible study. She loves her bible study group...except for the boys..lol. She is just getting so big on me and has been a big helper. Tongiht we are taking her to see the UT soccer girls take on the Aggies. She gets in for $2 if she wears her jersey. Her game for tommorrow was cancelled due to the weather we have been having. Other than that pretty normal. She gets moody sometimes and doesn't want to help out but I know its the age thing. I think she is having puberty early (she is already showing signs..too personal to mention) so I think that explains some of her moods and headaches she has been getting.
Well thats our update.
