Another Dr.'s Visit

Well- we are on our 3rd round of antibiotics for Bryson. Augmentin is what the Dr. prescribed this time. The poor little guy just won't get better. His left ear is still infected and he also has impetigo on his cheeks and chin for which they prescribed bactroban. Not sure why the first visit they ever gave him amoxicillin. That was just a big waste. So- about $110 and 4 weeks later hopefully this will clear every thing up. It would be nice to have a healthy baby for a change. We also got him a humidifier for his room which seems to have helped tremendously with his sleeping. It's so nice to actually get through a night without being woke up. Of course we freak out in the morning when he sleeps through without waking us thinking something must be wrong. When Andrew went in to get him this morning he was STANDING up at the crib! Crazy boy! We have lowered the mattress down quite a bit because we thought this would happen pretty soon and we were right. He's all over the place. Doesn't want to be held cause he's more interested in being on his own and seeing what he can get into and going new places. He is eating like a little pig now and we have even tried a few table foods. He loves mashed potatoes and tonight was his first try with home made vegetable soup. Of course we only gave him the broth and little pieces of noodles but he loved it. He is very interested in food and watching us when we eat. It's amazing how fast they grow up!

Thanksgiving at Dollywood

We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving in the Smokey Mountains! Hopefully good memories our children will cherish when they are grown. We managed to pull off cooking dinner in about a 4x5 foot space called the kitchen! It all turned out and everything was delicious! The kids shot some hoops and Bryson had a good ol' time just running around and picking up leaves while we waited for the Turkey to get done. Later that evening after Bryson was in bed we played a game of Cranium. The front desk had games that you could check out. Definitely not a game I would care to play again! The day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Dollywood. The weather was gorgeous and could not have been more perfect. Bryson was in awe at all the lights when it started to get dark. I think the first time ever he has actually sat in his stroller for a whole day without fussing to get out. There was lots to look at and it kept him busy thank goodness. After that we headed back to our condo to e...

Trisomy 13 - Dignity and Grace in Life and Death

On September 14, 2001 Andrew and I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby. We had done this twice before and I was not that concerned or anxious to get to the Dr. right away. We were very excited even though we had not actually "tried" to conceive. We had also decided we would keep it a secret as long as possible! :) Love to keep a good secret! On October 31st we had our first ultrasound and discovered that our baby had markers for a chromosomal disorder as well as tachycardia. Devastated at hearing this we shed lots of tears and I experienced a lot of worry, anger, and fear at what lied ahead of us. I prayed many times that if the Lord was going to give us a baby that would not live that He would just go ahead and take it from us right then. On November 23rd, I began spotting and cramping but since it was Thanksgiving weekend we waited til the following Monday to go to the Dr. where we found out that there was no heart beat and our baby was resting safely in the arms of Je...
