The Good News Is....

The good news is that Tayton and I went to Columbia today and he had his Cystic Fibrosis test and it came back negative and he weighed in at his highest weight ever of 40 pounds today! The bad news is that he's still having asthma problems and we're struggling to get it controlled. He missed school yesterday because he got a cold and it's kicking his butt! I'm sending him to school tomorrow but I know he's going to have a rough day. The worse news is that I am sick now too. My head might explode and my temper already has more than once today.

What's next? We don't know. We still have a little boy who is not even measurable on the Body Mass Index chart because he is so thin. Thin wouldn't be a problem except that he lacks the ability to fight off illnesses. He gets sick and gets so much sicker than the rest of us. That on top of his Sensory Integration Disorder means that missing school is rough on him because of his routine being upset as well as missing out on the learning. Next we make an appointment his developmental pediatrician and discuss our next path. Everything seems so bittersweet but thank God that cystic fibrosis is not his culprit.

Thanks to everyone who thought about us today and sent good vibes our way, it worked!
