Negative.

Oh, HAPPY day! Today we are SO very o.k. with still not knowing what’s wrong with Regan. He is still having the BV even on the newest formula. But today that is JUST fine. His sweat test for CF tested negative. And it also only took a a 1/2 hour to get enough sweat. They said it could take up to an hour, so it was nice that it didn’t. The nurses just loved Regan. He didn’t try to rip off the test things, and was happy, chatty, and smiling with anyone who walked by. One nurse in passing said it was so nice to see a baby that wasn’t crying. Regan’s nurse Cyndi was very impressed with him. And very happy to tell us that the test was negative. While we were at the hospital Kaylee was enjoying time at a famous day spa. Have you herd of Aunti Lipgloss’? It’s the newest hot spot for a 2 year old to get a mani/pedi. All while watching a movie lounging on plush pillows, eating fruit snacks and popcorn. She just really did not miss us three at all. But really who could blame her?

HAPPY HAPPY week everyone. We are VERY busy at our house this week. I’ll post about that soonish. It’s all VERY exciting. Well to me anyway.

DONE!

4 days of canning peaches later….

This year I did 68 (that survived) quarts of peaches. (I know!)
47 for my parents, and 21 for us.
We had 3 casualties. Not to shabby.
Also made 12 jars of jam and fruit leather.
Wednesday I felt buried in peaches so I gave 4 VERY full grocery bags to some girlfriends.
I felt a bit less overwhelmed after they took theirs away. Thank you Ladies!
SO happy to be done. Jon was as ever my most awesome canning buddy (when home).
Feeling amazed at how much canning I’ve been able to do now that Kaylee has Regan to occupy her. He’s awesome that way.

Now I need to take back the kitchen…sigh… maybe in the morning….

updates and such


“Unkie Jots” came to visit on his way down to Phoenix. I was so happy to be able to get these super cute photos of Josh and Regan. I only snapped these three and was happy to stop at perfection before either of these boys were done posing. They were so good to humor me and my photo taking obsession. We hope Josh had a lovely vacation, and we hope to have another visit from him soon.

And now for a Regan update:

We had our appointment with the pediatric Gastroenterologist. He asked LOTS of questions. Which was good. He then decided that we should try a different formula for a couple of weeks. It’s even more broken down and so it smells so much worse. Poor Regan doesn’t really like it. I don’t blame him the smell makes me gag. Pre-digested ick! But hopefully it will do the trick. Dr. “K” also ordered a test for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). He said it was possible that Regan may have CF. We are praying that the test has a negative reading and that Regan does NOT have CF. Jon is going to get the test scheduled ASAP. However if the test comes back negative and the new formula doesn’t help, our poor Regan will most likely have to get the scope and biopsy done. So that is where we are at……
