Is Everyone Doing Ok?

Hello Kathy.  It is going to be a loooong summer here.  Gage, my racer broke his tibia and growth plate on Saturday during practice. We are still awaiting a referral from our insurance to go see a specialist.  This is a child who does not sit still (ever) and his favorite pastime is annoying his mother and little brother.

How is the weather there?  We have been having 100+ days already.

Hope everyone else is doing well and has a great summer!

My boys are doing fine.  Gage did not have to have surgery, he goes back in 3 weeks to see how the growth plate is healing, it is almost closed (done growing), so that was a good thing (I guess).

Treyson constantly has salt crystals in his eyebrows, luckily the temps. should break today and we are to get some rain.

Hope everyone else is doing well

Sea, great on the weight gain!  I bet she is cute as a "button"!

My boys are doing well.  Trace (w/cf) has lost a few pounds. In the summertime his appetite isn't the best, I think it has to do with the heat.

Everyone else doing well?

Hello everyone!  Trace is still suffering with the heat.  We have a heat advisory all week long.  103 yesterday at 7pm.  At least we have been getting some much needed rain.

Gage's foot is not healing well at all.  He is being put into a full bent leg cast.  The child will not stay off of his foot.  The doc. thinks that the damage may have already been done and non repairable due to his not wearing the boot and using his crutches. Uugggh! Teenagers....they think they know everything.

Great on Lea being in the paper and on her steady weight gain! 

I haven't heard from faithful in awhile. Hope all is well.

Hello Sea.  Yes, I think the heat has a lot to do with appetite and weight management. I found that fruit and salads are great for the summer time, but if your children/babies are anything like mine, they do not like salads and fruits. I have been pumping mine with Carnation breakfast drinks.

Hope your daughter gets to feeling better physically and emotionally.  I find that a good therapist can do wonders and is a great way to vent.  I can totally relate to the different reactions that people have when they learn of my son's illness.  The one that gets me the most is the "he doesn't look sick" comments.  I think people just react differently in their only little ways. They all mean well.

Glad that Gage's foot has done so well at last.  Sorry that Trace still needs those extra pebbles.

Leah is 16lbs 6oz now which has taken her above the 2nd centile.    She can now sit up and is trying to become mobile.  Her Sats are 98% at the moment.  Can Sats go back up to 100% after they have dropped?  She is almost 7 months old.

I have been to Crete for two weeks so have been unable to reply earlier. 

love Sea
