here was my post a year ago today. by this point last year we were all so exhausted and frustrated. i can't believe i thought he was just a colicky baby with acid reflux! who would have ever thought that the next day we would find out his real problem and his life story would take a dramatic turn. thank goodness for that mother's intuition :) i've got some great pictures to post of brooks on his one year anniversary of his heart surgery...look for those on thursday. for now, i'm going to go hug my two little miracle babies. nothing can ever get them down after what they have been through.

Poor Little Guy

Well little Brooks has not had such a good few days. The little booger has decided that he does not want to eat and would rather scream till he passes out, wake up and repeat. Ugh! We just got back from our second doctor's appointment in 3 days and he has now lost weight. He's only 9 lbs 14 oz. He had a CBC done and it came back all good, except for being a bit anemic. So, we are now on prevacid and carafate to help coat his insides. The doc told us to give him some Pedialyte for his next few feedings along with Tylenol. We even have to feed him with a syringe if necessary. So all I need from you people out there are some prayers that whatever is going on in his little belly if fixed and he will want to eat. I am about ready to have an ulcer myself. What is up with my children??? On a good note Carson is so laid back that the last few days when I have been trying to fix Brooks he has just hung out in his playroom playing by himself. What a good big brother! He keeps coming over to Brooks and saying, "Rock the baby, rock the baby" So sweet.

Sweet Lauren,
It does seem like you have been on overload for stressful conditions of your two precious sons. We will all be in prayer for wisdom & discernment for the Pediatrician to reveal exactly what is causing the problem & for complete healing. May He surround Brooks with angels in the front, rear, left & right protecting him from harm & infection. And give supernatural strength to you that you will not grow weary.
How we admire all that you have accomplished & your most informative & creative blog.
Grateful for your precious sweet spirit.
