We started Isaac on the Baclofen last night. So far...he's still wretching. I'm not sure how long before we know if it's going to do the trick. All it seems to be doing now is putting him to sleep. (which...for now...is fine with me...I had time to load the dishwasher today...whoop whoop!!)
We did go see the wonderful Dr. Kogut today. She's the surgeon who did Isaac's fundoplication and g-tube surgery. She said that his site looks great and was glad to see that he's turned into quite the butterball! She's a little worried about all the problems we're having with the wretching also. She said if the Baclofen doesn't work, then maybe he's just choking on all of his thick saliva...and there are drugs he can take to dry it up. (but...one drug at a time). We'll find the magic cure and he'll be fine!
My new cookbook came in yesterday...Deceptively Delicious. So, I made the boys chicken nuggets (with broccoli hidden inside)....they were SO good. Tonight, we tried little pizzas on wheat pitas...well, the boys are done with me...and only tried one bite, and wanted their Kraft Mac n cheese. It's ok though...I baked sweet potatoes tonight...and i'm searching for a recipe to sneek them into tomorrow for them! My boys are the kind of boys that if you tell them to eat what's on their plate or they can go to bed starving...they'd both run up the stairs and starve. And it looks like Isaac is going to be the same...make me work for every bit of food I can get in his mouth!
Tomorrow our favorite helpers are coming over: Nicole (developmental specialist), Mark (speech therapist), and Shirley (nutritionist). We're having a little get together to get this babydoll to eat and so that everyone can give last minute instructions before we head to CA.
Enjoy Isaac's video tonight...the first pics are of him on Baclofen snoozing and the others are in the stroller before our walk around the block (which Eli makes me do everynight....like I NEED to exercise or something!).
MEGAN...check out the shorts and sleeveless shirt...it was a lovely 84 today and probably only 80 tonight when we were out walking! (No sweaters here yet!!)
And everyone give Terri grief for not coming over to meet us yet. I know that we live on the wrong side of the tracks...but, GOSH...just put on Mike's bullet proof vest and get in your car already!!! oh well...maybe we'll just meet when Isaac graduates from High School!
(I'm just picking on you Terri...I know you are 10 times busier than I am...!! And I have to keep my kids germ free so that you can come over...I'm working on it!)

Terri, even I was asking Kat about you two meeting. She said you two are so close but so far. Good luck getting Isaac to eat for you. Maybe we should have left the cake behind. I'm glad the bigger boys figured out what you're up to with their food. I should have warned them about the chicken nuggets. Maybe next time I come visit I'll let you cook for me. BUT NO MORE COOKING DOLPHIN!! NOT NICE!!!
Shorts are a thing of the past here in arctic MN. Actually, we have a nice warm streak (50s-60s) right now, but soon we'll be wearing our snow boots and bulky winter coats. ENJOY the warmth for me!!
Isaac, You go ahead and sleep all you can. Grandma wil be there soon, and we will stay up ALL night!
Better watch out....mom's getting ready to put strange things into your mouth.
Very cute Isaac!
You have your 2 biggest fans watching your movie :)
Sleep all you can Isaac; that's right. Grandma Judy has to share you with your AUNT ABBY. Take care, Abby
