I have missed you all so much. Things have been so hectic at my house that I barely have time to pop in and mark messages read lately. I'm hoping things will slow down a bit for the next few days. I will be so glad when this year is over so that 2007 can bring more happiness than sadness. This year has sure been packed with sadness and grief and it's not over yet. Our daughter and grandson moved back home with us when we got back home from our journey that encompassed my brothers funeral and helping move DH's parents from Texas to Minnesota. Things have been going pretty good as far as having them back home. The bad thing is, the baby just turned 1 year old last month and isn't doing very good. That's the reason for the prayer request.
DD has taken him to the doctor so many times in the past 4 months that I lost count. He was doing really good, gaining weight, growing and pretty much on track as far as the growth charts go. Suddenly he started refusing to eat more than a few bites at a time but he would take a bottle. Over time he has begun refusing even the bottle. So he is getting very little nutrition. In two weeks time he lost two pounds and he is a small baby anyway. He continues to lose weight and is beginning to look hollow-eyed. His clothes are all too big for him now. We have tried everything the doctors have told us to do and then some.
He's going to the hospital in the morning for an endoscopy and biopsies. I just hope and pray that we can find out what is wrong with the little guy and what is making him refuse to eat and that it's nothing serious. He had a very healthy appetite until about two months ago. So if you all could spare a prayer or two for our little guy, we would really appreciate it.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of turkey and dressing. But most of all, I wish you all the best day with all the love you could possibly want, surrounded by your families. For those who are going into the holidays while mourning the loss of loved one, dealing with an illness or whatever your situation may be, I wish you all a respite from the grief and pain.
Hugs, Mika
