ethan update...

Many of you may know that Ethan has struggled with reflux since he was born, and we have been to many doctors and had various tests done to determine what has been irritating him so much. Last week, we visited a gastroenterologist in Columbus and she wanted us to do another upper GI. (If you are a parent who has gone through this test with your child, you know how awful it is to have your child fast, and they cry and cry because they don't know why you're not feeding them...and then they shove barium down their throat trying to get a good picture of the stomach while you are holding their arms and legs down....sorry, I'm reliving it too vividly!) Anyway, we had the second upper GI done this past Monday and the radiologist said that everything looks really good, structurally everything is intact and where it is supposed to be. He does have acid reflux and the doctor prescribed Prevacid...so as of now, he is doing soooo good on the medicine. He has been sleeping better (and longer!) and is so much more content. He smiles and smiles and it just melts my heart. I have longed for this little boy to show his true colors all along....praise God!
