Happenings and Trees

We are still waiting on some answers from many of Brocs Drs.Broc had a sweat test done on Friday to rule out Cystic Fibrosis.We are not thinking that he has this at all but its just to rule it out.

There has been some confusion as to what GI procedures he actually needs so we are waiting for the GI at Riley and Dr Z to decided what he needs to have. He is still having pain when he eats and is only eating a little,but I guess there is no immediate urgency as he has not lost any weight.

He is also having a lot more leg pain which means that his legs blood flow is getting worse so we are going to limit his activities at home and at school. For the first time today he told me please mommy dont let Mr M make me run in gym class.So I sent a note to school and they are going to keep an eye on him. I must say his school is really wonderful when it comes to Brocs health and all his other issues.I really wish we could have these teachers with us next year.
I have stocked up on Motrin as that is all that seems to help with his pain and of course rest and us rubbing it for him.We have exactly 6 1/2 weeks until his ilio-femoral bypass surgery.

Our Buddy has another virus which is coming to an end hopefully.He woke up yesterday with no fever.We were also able to avoid being admitted to the hospital which was great.We only had to go there for an x-ray and blood tests.

Pizza:
Mark has been eating the crust off of our pizzas when we have pizza for dinner so he decided the other day to try the whole slice of pizza.Oh my when he tasted the texture of the sauce he made such a face.He has decided that he only likes pizza with crust and cheese NO sauce. Here are some pics of him eating his first slice of pizza.

I was really hoping that he was going to have another food in his diet.Not for him he will stick with carrot sticks and fish sticks and cheese sticks.


Planting Trees:
Uncle Scott surprised us on Sat. night with some trees.We were so excited the boys were so eager to get their wheel barrow and shovels out.

They loved digging,shovelling the sand out,playing with the water and then shovelling the dirt back around the trees.

Here are some pics of them and daddy planting the trees.It was really cold and windy so we all had to bundle up to go outside.

Some of our friends big and small are having heart surgery this week.We pray that they have a smooth surgery and a great recovery.
