New Year 2012

Rate this Entry
The new year has been off to a great start. Ethan and Christa were both sick the week before Christmas. They acted like they had the flu but their flu tests came out negative. They both got flu shots in October. It appeared to be some kind of flu-like virus. They both got well enough to enjoy Christmas. We had a great Christmas except Santa brought both of them a power wheels and it rained Christmas Day. They begged to go out all day. They got to go out and ride Monday after Christmas. We had fun on New Year's Eve. We all stayed up and watched Dick Clark on tv. Then we popped some fire crackers. Ethan had a good time. He is doing well. We are waiting on insurance to approve speech therapy again. I hope it is soon. He went to the GI doctor today and they were surprised that he is not eating yet. But everything looked great. The doctor wants to wean him off the Nexium. We are going to try giving it to him every other day and see how he does. The doctor was surpised when we told him he still spits up after his bolus feeds during the day. As long as he stays still after his feeds, he does great. If he stirs around a lot, he will vomit though. We'll see how it goes. He did drink from juice box today. A Gerber graduates Apple Berry flavor. He really liked it. I am going to buy some more of those. He drank nearly the whole thing. Wow!
