Just some thoughts

It's been a few weeks since my last post and I think it's about time I write something at least.
Everyone is doing pretty good. Bryson is still spitting up and has even lost a little weight since his surgery. The doctor has diagnosed it as GERD (acid reflux). He's on some medication, and a pretty specific diet, but it doesn't seem to be working as well as I had hoped. I need some answers. I feel like I'm getting the run around like I did when he had malrotation. It took over a month to finally figure out what the heck was going on inside his body. Maybe I just need to be more patient, and give it some time. But with him losing still more weight, I'm afraid he'll need to be hospitalized again, and I dread the thought of him being hooked up to IV's and spending sleepless nights there while no one really knows what's going on with him. I tried to call Bryson's pediatrician today, but he's not in the office on Mondays. You would think I'd remember that by now (I've had the same pediatrician for nearly four years), but I always seem to call on a Monday. I think I'll also call the surgeon and ask her some questions too.

On a brighter note, as far as developmentally, Bryson is doing well. He has had a little bit of a set back in his learning and developmental capabilities, I think mostly due to the hospital stays, but he's picking things up quickly. He has been crawling for about a month now, and is getting really fast. He's been pulling himself up to stand and is beginning to steady out while standing. Overall with everything going on, he is a happy camper. He's so smiley and giggly, especially in the morning, and he's finally starting to get over his separation anxiety with me. I can actually put him down and get something done without him screaming.

Brynlee is growing up before my eyes. She's so sassy and smart; I wonder sometimes where she learns the things that she says. She'll be four in November, and I'm considering getting her signed up for Preschool this year. She'll probably end up taking it twice, but I think the interaction, and learning environment is just what she needs right now. She's so active, and has such a busy mind, I think she'd really love to be in preschool.
For those of you who don't know, she is in primary. She struggles sometimes to go, because she misses nursery, but she always has a good time and has great teachers. She was asking me on Sunday where the Holy Ghost was, and told me some imaginative stories about some experiences (that I don't think she really had) about the Holy Ghost.
She has been such a sweetheart lately. I'm not sure if it's just a small phase for the time being, but I am really enjoying it. She loves to give kisses and hugs and reminds us that she loves us every day. There is still the occasional temper tantrum and grumpiness, but she's been a sweet little girl.

Another semester has just begun, and it's going to be a busy one! I'm taking an anatomy class with a lab, and Ethan is finishing up the last few classes for his bachelors. We still have weekends off, thankfully, so hopefully we won't go completely insane!
