Things are looking up! Yeah we finally got the test results of our emergency room visit this past weekend. The bladder infection is gone and not back!!! That's good. Nothing grew on the culture they took so I don't have to keep Keian on lots of antibiotics. He only will get one dose now instead of two. May be it was just the shots that gave him duch a high fever but it should not have been that high. I'm glad I took him in anyway to be on the safe side.
I want to thank who ever it was that left cookies on the door the other night! What a great little treat for the kids. They were so excited that we have a pixie leaving little gifts for them at the door. They really loved opening the door to find only cookies and no one standing there. The devoured them in minutes!
So Lee and I have decided that we want to get Keian a permanent G-tube put in. He has had so many problems just with having a cold I think it may be for the best. I don't really want to put him through it but I'm thinking it may be better for him in the long run. I think it may be at least 6 months before he will get totally off of formula as his primary source of nutrients. From the sound of the physical therapist it probably will be a while before he can coordinate sitting on his own without support.
I can't believe he is almost 7 months old. These past months have gone by so quick! My hope is that he will grow stronger and eventually be a normal boy. We joke around that he is our little Pinocchio. Yesterday we had a counselor visit our home. Lee really isn't in to it but I really hope he can embrace the support that is there for him. He is finally doing better with the stress but I have to admitt that the stress has gotten better too. I really liked the counselor myself. Her name is Kayla and she is expecting her first child. It was really nice to just talk to someone who wanted to listen to all of my ramblings. Yeah I know she's paid to listen but its been a while since I've done any therapy and it was nice to hear that I'm just a normal mother with normal fears for her child and everything I'm going through isn't ridiculous. In other words I'm not mentally messed up and shouldn't spend years in therapy to get over something. Sometimes I've wondered if I'm slowly going crazy or if its just the stress.
On another note I found out I am severly lacking in vitamin B. I also found that this could be the cause of a lot of my problems. I did not know that it would cause enemia and aches and pains from lack of oxygen from the anemia. I have started on a strict vitamin regimen. I should see results within two weeks. If not its back to the doctor for me for shots. I'm not expecting to be totally pain free as a lot of my back pain is from athritis in my back but maybe I wo't be feeling so tired all the time anymore.
