Diagnosis for Ryan

And the verdict is....nothing. All of Ryan's tests have come back and are all normal. He is still however experiencing problems so they said it is safe to give him immodium twice a day. They are labeling it "non-specific toddler's diarrhea." This means that while clearly something is causing this to happen, they don't know what it is, only what it is not. The good news is that typically children outgrow this by age 3. The bad news is that he is continuing to not gain weight and even lost a pound last month. So, we can try the immodium again. I plan on doing a food journal for him and taking it to a nutritionist to see if we can get any pointers. Other than that, he's happy and healthy. He started using the potty on occaision this week so we're very pleased about that.

Aidan is doing well in preschool. He's showing a lot of growth already which is great. He is learning to write his name and doing very well. He recognizes, writes and actually understands the values of his numbers up through about 12. He seems very fascinated with math and with patterns.

Hope all of you are doing well and have a great Thanksgiving.

Mom and Dad Update

Mom and Dad have started posting stuff to their mission blog. They will be leaving the MTC this coming Tuesday. They miss hearing from family and are anxious to hear how everyone is doing.
Dad's brother Roy was in a serious accident this last week and had to life-flighted to SLC. He broke his leg and broke his back. He still has feeling in his legs but he is still going to have to go though a lot of physical therapy.
