Quick update
I sincerely apologize for those waiting to hear what's going on. Here's a quick timeline of events.

11/21 ~ Upper GI. . .showed DEFINITE reflux but with aspiration

11/22 ~ Appointment made with pediatric gastro doctor for 12/8

11/24 ~ Thanksgiving in Tulsa

12/3 ~ Baby shower for my sister

12/8 ~ Dad's birthday and appointment with doctor who told us to be prepared to send Pruitt for surgery ASAP. This is where breakdown occurred with Chris & I.

12/9 ~ After numerous discussions with our pediatrician, and after he had discussions with the pediatric gastro doc, another pediatric gastro doc at Children's Hospital and a surgeon, he makes us an appointment for a second opinion on 12/12.

12/10 ~ Surprise birthday party for my mom and dad.

12/11 ~ Surprise birth of my new nephew Easton. While at the hospital, the pediatrician stops by and we have a chat. He learned more info on the difficult upper GI and believes the aspiration was a mere fluke.

12/12 ~ Second opinion appointment with a new doctor who says the first doctor leapfrogged straight to surgery. She put Pru on 3 new medicines and we go back on 12/20.

Now, fill in the blank days with sleepless nights, lots of cake making, lots of planning, and now lots of time helping my sister and I've had NO time to do ANYTHING. . .including laundry so if you are near me, don't take a deep breath :)

I thank EVERYONE for their prayers and support. I sure hope these medicines work for him, but so far, he's been a lot crankier than before. We'll keep praying and trying. It means so much to have you all thinking of us.

I also hope to have more computer time, but between my two boys, Christmas, Carly & Easton and my 500+ emails. . .looks like it'll be more towards the new year before things even remotely calm down ;)

By the way. . .I now know what a 6lb baby looks like!! SO SMALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I don't think I knew Carly was pregnant! Congratulate her for me. How cool for Pruitt to have a cousin so close to his age! I hope the meds solve the problem for Pruitt so you guys can have a Merry Christmas!

Popping in to get an update and so glad it is a good one - I will be praying that the meds do the trick and all will be well. Congrats on your nephew, it is fun to have cousins so close in age, especially when they are both the same sex!!

Hugs to you and may things get back to 'normal' soon :D

Merry Christmas my friend to you and your family

I am SOOOOOO happy to hear you had a second opinion, and that this one didn't think the surgery was that imperative!! It just didn't make sense to me that if Pruitt is gaining weight, that the surgery was to be done ASAP. I DO pray that the meds do what they are supposed to do, and that life starts to calm down for you.....

(((HUGS))) and Merry Christmas!!

(((((Piper))))) continued thoughts and prayers are headed your way. I really hope these new meds work for Pruitt. Congratulations to your family on Easton's birth! It's pretty cool that all three boys will have the chance to grow up together.

Hang in there, and if I lived closer I'd lend you my MIL. She's a laundry finatic. That's all she does 24/7 and it isn't because she has to...SHE LOVES DOING IT!!! Go figure.
