Update

I really enjoy writing and I've loved this blog and it's contributors. Sadly I have had to take a break to better meet my family's needs. We've been on a roller coaster over the last few months. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the ride is coming to an end anytime soon.

We are doing much better and things have slowed down quite a bit. My son's health has improved enough that it appears we are out of immediate danger. He is making progress, even if it is in centimeters and ounces instead of inches and pounds.

We discovered that many of his horrible symptoms were due to an environmental cause that I can't/won't go into great detail about here on this blog. He is still recovering from that, but thankfully we are now able to focus his other health issues.

Those issues include: sensory processing disorder, tongue tie, tip tie, high palate, and slow growth (height and weight). Some of these are leading us down the path of more testing while others we are already seeking therapies for.

We have come a long way and we have a long way to go. Being a mom is never easy. We all have our own unique set of challenges and struggles. My son is beautiful, funny, charming, smart, sassy, mischievous, loving, snugly, assertive, inquisitive, and playful among other things. I'm so glad I get to watch him learn, grow and change. So, even though we face our own unique challenges, I'm glad that our family is facing the challenges we have together.

With all of the busyness of life I hope to be able to jump back into blogging.
