Another Crazy Week!

Last week was a bit crazy.

Ethan is not eating well. He has been having some problems spitting up and such. Tuesday we took him to the doctor. They were concerned about the development of a flap between the stomach and the intestines. We had the appointment and she gave us some new formula to try. I then had to take him to the hospital for an ultrasound. She left me saying if it is Positive you will need to go to DeVos tonight and probably surgery tomorrow. AAAHHH! Anyway I went to the hospital and did the ultrasound. I had to wait at the hospital until the radiologist sent the report over to the doctor. 1/2 hour later she called. It was negative. Obviously you knew the answer already, because there would have been many more posts if he had to have surgery. So she put him on Zantac for a while. We are starting to see some improvement. He is eating a bit better and spitting up less. He has not been sleeping well at all though. I think it has to do with his stomach. Hopefully it will improve soon. They said he could be showing signs of collic and told us a few things to do with him. It has not helped yet, but doesn't seem to be getting worse.
Results of the doctors appt:
7 lbs 13 ozs
21 1/2 inches long
He is doing fine she said.


Jakob has another tooth on the bottom. We can also start to see another one on top. He is doing fine. He went to play with his friend Sydney last week. He had a great time as always.

It is back to work full days this week for me (starting tomorrow). It has sure been nice being home. Our rental house on 16th street also came open this week. If you know of anyone looking for a 2 bed 1 bath house to rent or puchase, send out my info. It would sure be nice to have it filled or sold soon!!
I will try to post more pictures soon.
All our love,
Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan
