Yay for Exercise!

Well I went to the gym today and for a long walk! It felt great to get moving again. I am hoping to cash in on the theory (research proven) that exercise is the number one cure for fatigue. It would also help if my child would sleep longer at night.
Last night was a little rough. He was up every three hours just like during the day. It was my fault though cause I ate broccoli for the first time. Note to self: When I eat broccoli Nolan gets bad gas ALL night.
So I learned my lesson and will no longer be eating any vegetables that can cause gas in a baby!
Nolan is finally healthy, but still behind in weight gain. Not surprising for all he has been through. He will go later this week for a weight check and if he isn't gaining like he is supposed to then I will have to supplement formula after each nursing. I really don't want to do this so please pray he starts gaining like crazy. We are nursing for multiple reasons. One it is the healthiest thing for my child, two it is an amazing bonding experience, and three it is FREE. Formula is not.
I'll let you know how the weight check goes.

Good News!

Praise God, Nolan's test was normal. He does not have cystic fibrosis. We so very much appreciate your prayers. We are still reaping the effects of long term antibiotics with Nolan (from the hospital and then me taking them for a sinus infection). His poor digestive tract is just torn up. Please pray his belly is able to heal and he can get back to normal eating and sleeping patterns. Jonathan and I are in serious need of some good sleep. And so is Nolan for that matter.
We are so very blessed to have friends and family that are willing to pray for us and support us. Thank you so very much!!

Prayer Needed AGAIN!

Once again I am asking for prayer for Nolan. I received a call from Nolan's pediatrician today (the doctor actually called me). He said that the day after we received notice that all of Nolan's blood work from the Newborn screen was normal they actually received a notice that one of the test had been negative. He suspects that this test was run from the blood that was collected from a vein (it must be drawn from a capillary) and that is why it was positive. The test that was supposedly abnormal was the one indicating possible Cystic Fibrosis. I am not sure if you are familiar with this or not, but it is a horrible disease of the lungs and gastrointestinal tract that is incurable. To my knowledge the oldest living person with this disease is 30. People with this disease undergo lots of therapy and take numerous medications daily just to live.
We are going today to have the blood redrawn once again (the fifth time) to see what the results say. If it is abnormal we then have to go for a very specific test at the hospital to see if he indeed has CF.
We are asking for prayer that the test is negative and that Nolan is indeed healthy and whole!!!! We are believing that he does not have this horrible illness and that he will live a long and healthy life!!
We will certainly keep you updated!
