ANOTHER hospital visit!!

A few weeks ago we had ANOTHER hospital visit. This is your 4th one since last september. This time they did not do any extra tests. It was just a clean out. But it took a whole lot longer than every other time. We were there for 4 days!!! It was long and you hated it, but you got all nice and cleaned out and we were happy to be out of there. This time the doctors want to test your muscles and see if there is a lack of muscle strength in your colon. Hopefully these tests go good and it shows that there is something that they can fix so that we dont go to the hospital anymore. I know that you really hate going to the hospital, and I just want to find what is wrong so we dont have to do this anymore.

You are such a strong little kid. You have gone through so much and I really admire you and the way that you handle everything. You have been to the hospital, have more doctors, more surgeries and procedures, than most adults have done!! I love you son! Keep up being strong.

Love Mommy

You are 9!!

Happy Birthday Jacob! I cant believe that you are the big 9 now!!! I know I am not writing this on your birthday...but I have been sick. Yuck! So this is the soonest I could write and feel good.

Your birthday this year was lots of fun but very simple. Your birthday was on a Sunday this year so we had Grandma and Grandad come over for a BBQ and cake and ice cream. Daddy BBQ'd steak and chicken and I made home made ice cream (cookies n cream) and we had a cake from costco. You got such great gifts this time. Grandma was very generous and she got you a keyboard!! Your very first! You LOVE it!! You play it all the time and you really have a ear for music. You are good with hearing songs and being able to play them right away. I cant wait until you are older and see what you do with that gift.

Daddy and I got you a PS2 and a bunch of games to go with it. You love it so much. Its all yours and so you get to play it any time you want!! You sure do love your video games.

I love you so much. It has been a pleasure to be your mommy for the past 9 years. You are such a great kid and I am glad that I am your mom. You are such a special boy and you make me happy every single day. I cant wait until your next birthday. Next year you are going to be 10!! WOW double digits. Maybe I CAN wait until your next birthday. You are growing up way to fast.

Love you buddy.

Love Mommy!

updates

Hi Jake!

So you went the whole rest of the school year with AZVA and it went fantastic! You did so good and you really liked being homeschooled. So we decided that we would try it out for another year. I am really happy with the decision we made and so are you.

You have been going back to LIFE for therapies and ABA. We decided that it was time for you to go back in about May. You needed to have your therapy back. We saw you regress a lot and knew that it was time that you went back. But the drive from Phoenix to Queen Creek was A LOT! It would take us almost an hour to get there!! We were going 2 times a week and that was a lot of driving in the car for you. So in June we decided that it was best for us if we moved BACK to gilbert. So July 1st we moved into a great new house. It has been great for us. And great for you too! You have been so much happier here. You have stopped your nightmares and you are sleeping great again. I know that this was the right decision for us as a family.

I just want you to know that we love you. And everything we do, we keep you in mind. We want you to be the best you can be and we will try anything to help you.

Love you!

January...new year...more changes

Hi buddy

Well January brought us some new changes. Before winter break was let out I decided that I did not want you going back to eagle. Things just were not going like I wanted and I know that you had a hard time so your daddy and I thought that it would be better if I pulled you out to homeschool you. Well we looked all around and finally found an online school called AZVA and I knew that it would be perfect for you. So we got you all signed up to that and when winter break was over you started your school year with azva. We have been doing it for almost a month now and I could not be happier. And you too! You love doing this and you are learning so much already. I am so glad that I am able to teach you and that you are willing to learn from me. We love spending time together when we are done with school.

Also you had another hospital trip. The beg of January we went back to the hospital for another clean out and more tests. This time you got a endoscopy and they took biopsys of your insides. Well the tests came back fine. Which is a good thing. I did not want any of these to come back with problems. So now we are still searching as to why you cant poop normally. We will continue to see doctors and see what they all have to say about this.

Love you buddy. I hope 2011 is a great year for you.
