Easter weekend

Easter weekend was good but not as good as I had hoped for. Luke had been fussy for a couple of days last week so I decided to take him to Dr. J to get his ears checked on Friday. Sure enough he has another ear infection. This is number 3 in less than 2 months! When they weighed him he had not gained AN OUNCE since his 6 month check up. I guess they aren't too worried.?. I have started to notice that anytime Luke is getting sick (even a minor cold) he refuses to eat solids and doesn't drink much formula. I have also noticed that when he is sick he tends to blister more. I am guessing this is because his little body is under stress and ANY type of stress (physical, emotional...) can cause him to blister. Not drinking much and blistering are NOT a good combo...dehydration can happen quickly. Thank goodness for Pedialyte! He loves that stuff!

Luke is doing better now. I think the antibiotic is helping the ear and he is slowly gaining back his appetite. It is tiring trying to force feed him. Trying is the key word...he will not open his mouth for anything!!!!!

Saturday we went to Wyatt's second birthday party at the park. It was fun to see everyone and have donuts to celebrate one of our great friends turning TWO! You can see in the pictures how tired and yucky Luke felt!

Easter Sunday we had great plans to have a yummy brunch with the Garretts, go to church, then take pretty pictures in the flowers. Well...we did go to brunch with the Garretts and it was yummy; however, Luke was fussy so we decided to take him home instead of attempt church. I told Greg on the way home that I would help him get Luke down for a nap then I might go on to church. HA HA that did not happen. Luke had a mega blowout in his clothes then as I was changing him he peed all over his own face and me, then when I picked him up he threw up all down my dress! So, no church, no pretty pictures, and no fun memories of Luke getting his first Easter basket! Oh well, there will be many more Easter's and most importantly we are able to LIVE because He died!

That's about all that has been going on around here. We are headed to Longview tomorrow to see the family. Either this Wednesday or next I will be taking Luke to see his derm. His feet and hands look terrible and will not heal no matter what I do. His feet especially are so frustrating. Every time I drain them they are puffed back up again the next day. He has also been getting more blood blisters lately. I can tell they are hurting him some and that concerns us. So off to Dr. B to help us out!
