Still waiting
Waiting to see if we're moving. Waiting for Becca to have a hearing test on the 24th. Waiting for Becca to have an MRI on May 8. Just waiting...I bet I could break out into some Dr. Seuss right now, but I'll spare you. Time to make Tom's lunch/smoothie and go to bed. -

Saw the GI doctor. The first thing he said was to quit weighing Becca every week. He doesn't think that there is a GI problem; instead, he thinks it's more likely that her speech delay, hypotonia, and lack of appetite is something neurological. He's ordered a sedated MRI. If we find out we are, in fact, moving, then he will go ahead and order a ( Read more... ) -
The latest
Becca went to the feeding specialist. She said there is nothing mechanically wrong with the way Becca eats, which is what I have been telling the doctor for weeks. Of course, the doctor thinks that could be a less than accurate assertion since she's only been seen twice. Uh huh. Neurology didn't find anything. 2 of the stool tests have come ( Read more... ) -

It may be the 3 martinis in me (still trying to recoup after almost 3 years of not drinking), but I think I'm depressed. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's a good possibility. I have no interest in the things I used to love, like cooking. All I want to do is run, and this girl doesn't like exercise. Running is the only thing my body has been ( Read more... ) -
Quick update
Our orders to Germany were cancelled. As of now, we don't know where we're going because branch keeps trying to dick Tom around. The doctors want us to stay here since there is still no diagnosis for Becca. They said the only Army hospitals with the capability of finding a diagnosis are here, Hawaii and DC. DC doesn't have Tom's job. Even ( Read more... ) -

I hardly ever post on here anymore. Why bother when I have Facebook? But, it just seems like it's time. I'm super stressed and not sure that I want all 200+ people on FB knowing my issues, family or not. Well, we were scheduled to move to Germany this summer. That's up in the air now for 2 reasons. 1) the Army is pulling 2 combat teams from ( Read more... ) -

Just poop already!
So, Payton hasn't pooped since Jan. 13. She's holding it, and I'm not sure why. I'm assuming she had an anal fissure and it just hurt to go, so she started holding it. A pediatric nurse told me to give her 1/2 capful of Miralax 4 times a day for 2 days, then 1/2 capful a day for 3-4 months to let her colon shrink back to its original size ( Read more... ) -
Kiddies and stuff
Payton is amazing. She has her days where I'd still like to give her to whomever knocks on the door first, but for the most part, she's a great girl. She's a really good big sister. She's always ready to fetch diapers or wipes, hand me blankets, or just lie on the floor with Becca. She's a jabbermouth and loves her play phone; however, she ( Read more... ) -
