We’re Baaaack

It feels like it has been months since I have posted anything, but I finally have a new computer and am able to get to my pictures.  Unfortunately I didn’t have a backup performed in April so I lost all of my Easter pictures, but I am hoping some techie will have the skills to retrieve them from my old hard drive at a reasonable cost.

Cutler went to the doctor, again, on Monday and had great blood results once again.  Unfortunately the last two times he has had to give blood from his arm.  We were hoping with the removal of the central line they could get blood with a heel prick, but so far they have needed too much and so they go to his arm.  He fights it a bit, but I think it is more a fight of being held down than anything else.  We are so fortunate that he is still too young to really know what’s going on.  Since we got back we were having issues with Cutler swallowing, but he is starting to make progress in this area as he is really starting to enjoy hot dogs, ice cream, and guacamole dip. He still puts quite a bit of other items in his mouth, but proceeds to spit them out when he is done sucking the nutrients out of them.  We are hoping to get hooked up with a speech therapist to help with the swallowing issues.  Would be great to get him to drink the formula/pediasure from the cup instead of the gtube, but one step at a time.

Everything else around here is going great and at a high rate of speed.  It has been so long since I actually worked from an office that I have forgotten how little time you get at home at the end of the day.  Throw in Mason’s ice skating, tball, and soccer and we are running nonstop.  I am coaching Mason’s tball team and that is proving to be quite an experience.  First game is Saturday, so stay tuned for details and hopefully photos.

Will try to post more often now that I am live again.  Can’t tell you how disconnected I felt without having my desktop at my immediate ready.  Below are a few photos of the boys playing tonight…

  1. The pictures are wonderful! I am so happy to hear that Cutler is starting to swallow some of his food. My only concern is he likes hot dogs? I can understand ice cream and guacamole, but hot dogs? How could that be?
