Today Ethan had 2 scheduled dr. appointments. The first was at 10:30 with his specialist from LeBonheur and the 2nd was with his pediatrician at 1:10 for his one-year check-up and flu shot. Timmy has been off work so much this month with his kidney stone that he did not go today. The next best thing??? The Nanna. Poppa/The Judge is out-of-town this week, so Nanna came from KY to go with us to both appointments. It is a good thing...we waited for over 3 hours for our 20 minute appointment with the specialist and nutitionist. I had to change his pediatrician appt. to Friday, as we did not leave until 2:10! But, all that waiting paid off with some GREAT news! Ethan's blood work has been normal at each check up. So, we were told after his last appt. that we no longer had to measure his regular food. As long as he did not drink milk, and eat meat and eggs, he could eat as much as he wants. Well, depending on his labwork from today, our nutritionist told us that we might be possibly taking him completely off his medical formula and after more tests, depending on the severity of his organic disorder, they may completely lift his food restriction/diet, as well! That is an answered prayer! We just prayed that he would be healthy and we would be easily adjusted to his diet and food measurements...I never thought they would completely lift his food restriction! So, please pray that everything continues to go well for Ethan! We have been so blessed with both of our boys and continue to be prayerful that they both lead healthy lives.
