We had both boys well checks this week and they are…drum roll, please…WELL! Chet’s height was 30th percentile, weight was 75th and head…off the charts. Joe is back on the charts at the 25th percentile weight, Height is 25th and they didn’t measure his head, but we don’t need them to tell us, it’s off the charts too. Joe was a big stinker and acted like he didn’t know how to count or know his colors…Then, during the eye test he told her that a star looked like a feces. What a stink pot! Anyway, we’ll take what we can get. Oh, I almost forgot, Joe’s urine and throat cultures came back negative, so we get to stop the antibiotics! For all things big and small we are grateful!
Hope you are all well.
Also in the good news category, our good friend Cooper got a good report after his brain scan. So, his chemo is working. It’s a rough road, so at least that good report gives him the strength to keep on keepin on!
Much love,
Kristi

Doctors visit…today, tomorrow and Friday!
Arugh! Our little Joe-Joe was just getting better when on Saturday I realized he had a fever. Yesterday, he pretty much laid around on the couch all day. His fever got up to 103.6 last night, so I determined he needed to see the ped. She thinks he has a bladder infection. She did a ua on him and saw that he has some blood in his urine and an elevated white blood cell count in his urine as well. She prescribed an antibiotic for him to start and said she’d know more tomorrow. Last week when we thought Chet had the same stomach bug as everyone else around here, turns out, nope, he had salmonella…yes, you know, I’d been rubbing raw chicken on his bottles and feeding him raw eggs, but who would have guessed. I felt like a completely horrible mother! We are compulsive about hand washing, food washing, etc, so I don’t have a clue where it could have come from. Tomorrow we go back to the ped for Chet’s 2 year well check and then again on Friday for Joe’s 4 year well check. Hopefully, we’ll be done with the illnesses for a while…except…Brian called today and said he felt nauseated. Here we go again.
On a lighter note, the boys had great Birthdays! Tons of gifts; we look like toys-r-us around here.
I hope you are all happy, healthy and well.
Love to you all,
Kristi and the boys!
