I'm back........after a long time away

Hey everyone its been a very long time since I have been around.  After I had Isaiah I was in and out of the hospital.  They finally figured out that I need my galbladder removed.  I have been pretty healthy since but the baby hasn't.  He started vomitting at about 5 weeks old and continued for months, we were in and out of the doctors office a few time a week, he was consistently losing weight.  his lowest point was at 3 months old weighing 7lbs 3oz-less then he did when he was born.  We finally got him into the Childrens hospital and they admitted him right away.  he spent 5 days there, 3 of which were spent in the ICU.  his electrolytes were so out of whack that it was causing his heart rate to drop and him to stop breathing.  After they got him stable they did a surgery to correct the problem....pyloric stenosis.  he has been doing excellent ever since.  It has been a month since the surgery and he now weighs 11lbs 15oz....he is the happiest kid in the world and LOVES to eat.  i am so thankful that they corrected the problem and he will have no lasting issues from it, i just wish it didn't take so long to get it corrected.  He is 4 months old already!!!!

Yea it was absolutly horrible to see him like that, but looking at him now and you would never no he was sick.  they were able to do the surgery laprosopically so he won't have any major scars either which is great
