Back in

Hey peewee is back in the hospital! This time for RSV! Grrr, is it summer yet? PLEASE HURRY SUMMER!!!!

24 hours

Well we had a very eventful 24 hours. Friday after our meeting for Malachi's IFSP, we too him to his peds doc. He had a very bad cough and I was worried it was down in his lungs. Turns out he did and he was admitted late friday night. They started an antibiotic and did some breathing treatments. I was so disappointed because I knew the latest hospitilization was going to mean we could go to Easter on my side of the family. We stayed there all day today and was released late this evening. When we got home peewee was very warm and fussy. I decided to take his temp rectally and it was 103.3. He had no fever at all, and now all of a sudden 103.3? Anways I was convinced that the doc was going to want us back uo there. But to my surprise she said we could just moniter it overnight and if he still had it in the AM to call her back. After a cool bath, a cool washcloth and some time in just a diaper and 1 dose of motrin, he is now down to 99.7. Woo hoo. Please pray for Malachi and that we are able to keep the fever down. Tomorrow is my most favorite holiday and I REALLY want to be able to enjoy it with my boys and joshes family.

PS. His meeting for his IFSP went GREAT and It looks like we will be starting this week!! I will write more on that when I have time!! HAPPY EASTER!

PT, OT and ST oh my!!

We it seems as if our long battle to get peewee the services he needs is drawing to an end. Tomorrow we go an get a speech evaluation and then friday all the evaluators are comming to our house for a meeting and to write his plan. We will discuss wht services he needs and what goals we want to see him meet. I found out today that we got a new coordinater, our other one got fired! Which makes me happy, she was HORRIBLE! I seriously think she was only at work 2 days a week and called in sick the rest of the time! Hopefully our new lady will be better!!

Malachi's visit to the cardiologist today went well. They did an echo and should be calling me with the results tomorrow. The cardiologist took a quick look at him and said he looked great and there was no real hurry. So, as much as it is killing me to know what, if anything, is going, I will be patient and wait! But i can only wait 1 night, If I dont hear from them by tomorrow night I will call!

Give all your kiddos a great big kiss tonight! We all have so much to be thankful for!!

9 months

Malachi is now 9 months old! We have the 9 month visit at the doc. She said everything looked good...then she felt his liver. She seemed VERY concerned at how large it was and how high it was. Sigh... She had me call the cardio. and set up and echo for tomorrow. She thinks he may be in the early stages of heart failure. Another Sigh... I should have know not to expect a perfect visit, we have yet to have one! He is not up to 14lbs 11 oz. BUT the doc thinks he is holding water weight. He did grow a 1/4 of an inch in length he is now up to 24 3/4 inches!

I just have time for a quick update. The sun is out and we are going for a walk, we ALL need some fresh air!!

Update on Bryson

Things went great with Bryson! They were able to fix the 2 blockages and he woke up without any issues. We go to see him last night shortly after surgery and he looked amazing. He was all smiles and didn't seem to be in pain at all. It was almost as if nothing ever happened! They are still hoping to be able to go home tonight!! Praise God for answered prayers!! And thanks to all of you who prayed!! I have not talked to Brysons mom or dad yet this morning, but I will try to up date as soon as I do! Have a wonderful friday!

Your Prayers needed

This darling little man is Bryson. He also just happens to be Malachi's best friend! Well tomorrow Bryson is going in for surgery. This is where I need your help! Please pray for Bryson and his mom and dad (Amanda and Will). Bryson has a blockage in his kidney which isn't allowing his kidney to empty into his bladder, this being said, his kidney is larger that it is supposed to be. He had an appointment today and the docs decided that he needed to go into surgery tomorrow. Please pray that God will comfort nerves and grant his family a sense of ease. Please pray for the surgons and nurses who will be in charge of caring for this little man! I am fortunate enough to be able to spend the entire day with them tomorrow as they prepare and wait. I hope I can help confort them and ease their fears!! Thanks ahead of time for all the prayers!!

Happy April!

Wow, I can't believe its already April!! Things are going well in the horton house. We are back to a normal routine now that Josh is back to work. I miss his help but am happy to be able to do things my way again! haha

Malachi has started doing a few new things. He has found his feet! He lays on the floor with his legs and arms in the air. Its so cute! He is also bearing weight on his legs AND keeping his trunk straight! He is also trying to sit up while laying in my arms. This makes feeing difficult as he only wants to be sitting up. He is also getting better at reaching for things mid-line. We are soo happy to see progress, although it seems small, its really huge for him! Way to go Malachi.

Next weekend is Easter and I can't wait for the friendly little bunny to make a stop at our house!! Want to know what the Easter Bunny is bringing Malachi? A summer wardrobe from Gymboree. There is a GREAT sale going on right now, get there fast! I got a few things for 3.99 which is a HUGE deal from there! They have a rock star line and I think I bought everything!! LOL a little drummer wanted shirt, a my mom rocks shirt so cute I cant wait to put him in it all! Thank you Easter Bunny for giving me an excuse to spend more money on clothes for my litte fashion model!

Speaking of the prince, he is up and needing his afternoon baby food feeding. Whats for lunch today? I think a little mixed berries! Have a wonderful April 1st and try not to get "fooled"!
