Update on Addy

Wow... I've been MIA... We've had alot going on... I think this is the first time I sat down in 3 weeks! LOL not really!  Just life has been going on...  The biggest thing is an update on our Sweet Pea, Addison.  I collected the 3 samples (and that was a TON of fun!) I was secretly hoping that "it" would happen when I wasn't home and Nathan would have to do it!  No such luck for me!  In fact all 3 times "it" happened Nathan wasn't home at all so I had to go at it solo!  Thats what I get! LOL  Anywho... her test came back normal!  Which I was happy to hear but that also worried me because she was sick the day that I got the results!  So I waited so patiently for 3 days for the DR to call me back and they refered us to a GI dr.  I called yesterday to schedule an appointment and I could wait until April 6 or they had a cancelation for today.  So after some thought... hmmm if I go tomorrow then I go with 4 kids??? But I did it anyway!  I was to anxious and ready to get the ball rolling on this thing!  So we went!  The DR seemed a bit puzzled b/c each sickness usually last for 24 hours - maybe 48 hours.  If was something of the obvious (like IBS) it would last longer.  He has somethings that he wants to rule out first.  So we have some test that we have to do ... which I knew that was coming.  We have to get blood work done to check her white blood cells and food sensitivity.  She also has to get a upper GI and a sonogram on her abdomen. Then those results will give us the answers to what we have to do next.  There was a lab at Nemours (the Children's hospital) so we already did the blood work today after her appointment and let me just tell you what a trooper Addy was!  She didn't cry at all!  She just sat there and watched as they filled 6 vials of  blood!  :)  All the kiddos did really good today I was so proud of them (I was very prepared too with snacks and quiet activites for them)  They all got rewarded with a ring pop as a surprise!!!  So I will keep updating as we know more...  Thank you everyone for your prayers for our baby girl!

Here is the cutie...  This is her on any given normal day... being silly! :)
