Mother's Day Gifts

Lauren showing my what she made me at school for Mother's Day!
You guessed it, a pasta necklace!

Here is how my sweet angel feels about me!
I love the 75 lbs!!!

Lauren has been so excited to make this cake for me! We have been waiting weeks for the day to decorate cakes! I did have to try a small bite :-( It was delicious!

New Shades!

Alexis brought these sunglasses home from Washington, DC, for Lauren's surprise. The girls couldn't resist putting them on Blake!

Okay here is a picture of the food I must consume from Healthy Connections!
This is my Sat. ,Sun., Mon. food! Yum! Yum!

Take My Medicine

Blake is taking Flagyl now on day 3 of 10, and I seriously don't know if we will make it to day 10. He takes 5mls 3x a day for 10 days. That is a whole syringe full! You start giving the medication and he sucks it down but with in sec. he starts quivering and rubbing his eyes and nose, this morning his lips turned blue because he held his breath. The medicine must be sour? I need some advice on giving meds to a 4 month old... We can't put it in his milk because we tried the Culturell in his bottle at the hospital and he stopped taking a bottle all together.

Beautiful Day

We took Blake to the Dr. for a follow up appointment and also consulted a ped. GI doctor. They have decided to treat him for the C-diff infection with a special antibiotic called Flagyl, and we are also giving him probiotics to keep the good germs in his gut. He is still having diarrhea and yesterday was a very bad day of crying with stomach ache from 5 am to 12:30 pm, solid! We gave several doses of Tylenol and Mylicon to help soothe him! Today just the diarrhea! YEAH!

Biggest Loser update:
I HATE COOKIES, CAKE, DOGHNUTS and any thing else I can't have :-) Yes I wish I could lick a big bowl of batter! Besides that Drue and I have walked 3 1/2- 4 miles EVERY night since May 1 plus my work outs with the trainers! The food is still good just a bit BORING!

Pictures from Blake's hospital Stay

We had a very long week at Children's hospital , looking for answers and not knowing the outcomes. Through Many test and long conversations with the Doctors no one is exactly sure why Blake is in pain. One thing we can be assured is God is the ultimate physician and he will heal Blake. We are so blessed God let us leave with our baby boy on Thurs. night. I can't help but think about all the parents who leave without theirs.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for all the prayers, calls, visits, everything! It really has meant a lot to Drue and I.
