Kidney Problems Persist

We went and had an ultra sound done on Monday--Tyler still has Pyelectasis aka Renal Pelvic Dialation. I am trying my hardest not to worry because I know Heavenly Father is in charge of the situation. Plus, whatever happens, I'm sure he will turn out fine even if it means I have to cry through a surgery.

The pediatrician referred us to a urologist who will first do what's called a Children's Pediatric Voiding Cystourethrogram. It's an Xray procedure where Tyler will probably have to be sedated, have a catheter put in his urethra and then they will monitor him while he empties his bladder. After that we will know if he needs surgery or not. I'll keep you all posted.

In the meantime here are some more cute pictures where you can really see how much Tyler has grown if you compare them to the pictures in my earlier posts. He is well over 6lbs now and 2 weeks old tomorrow! PS I lost 23 lbs so far.

He's so cute! We are hoping the best for Tyler and praying for you. Even if he has to have surgery, it looks like he is in good hands medically. And, cograts on the weight. Having a baby is the fastest way to lose tons of weight in a day- and good luck with the rest! You can do it!

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
