Andrew's Health

Andrew has been sick with a stomach bug (understatement of the year).

It turns out he was very sick (diarrhea and vomiting on and off for 3 weeks) after many test and them all coming back negative the Pediatrician decided he had Giardia (even though the test came back negative she decided the symptoms were too much like Giardia to be a coincidence). She prescribed a drug used to treat Giardia.

He responded to the drug within 24 hours and was showing signs of being fully on the road to recovery 48 hours later. He is doing much better now he is still fairly weak and tires quickly because he hasn't eaten well in weeks or kept down anything he did eat, but he is rapidly improving everyday. He stopped the medicine on Friday morning and we are hoping and praying that this is it and there will be no relapse (so far so good). He is now making up for lost time.

Matthew my beautiful baby boy (don't tell him I called him a baby or I am in big trouble) is well. Apart from feeling a little cooped up and ignored because we couldn't go anywhere and with the amount of attention Andrew needed.

Matthew is going up a class at Sunday school in just over a month he gets to join the 4 year olds how scary is that my baby is nearly 4 and my big boy is nearly 5 (both February babies). Andrew goes up a class when he starts school so they will be in the same class for 9 months or something like that.



Michael and I are tired but well. Finally things are getting back to normal now which is nice.
