Good News!!

We got the results of Glen's Celiac test today. They were negative. That is really good news. So the Dr. said to give him pediasure to help him gain weight and to stop giving him all dairy products that contain lactose to see if it is the lactose that is causing his stomach problems. Hopefully this will work. We will keep you posted.

love to all

You Tube Video

Ok. I figured out how to get this video on the web page. In order to hear what's going on in the video you will need to scroll down to the bottom of the blog page and click on the pause button on the audio player. When you are done with the video, you can play the player again if you want to. The pause button is located on the top left corner of the player directly above the name of the song. If there are any questions you can click on comments on this post and I will get back to you, or you could e-mail me.

Happy New Year!!

Well, the new year has come very quickly. Last year was a very wonderful and eventful year. We watched Glen grow up and change so fast. It is hard to believe that he is already 13 months old. Glen is now cruising the furniture and he walked from his bedroom to the kitchen the other day while holding onto my hands. He excites very easily and he thinks everything is either great or funny. When he sneezes, he laughs. He put his hand on my cheek and pushed making my head turn, and he laughed. Sam pushes Glen around on his train and he just loves it. He has not quite gotten the hang of walking behind his push toys, but I am confident that he will soon.
We had a great Christmas. We got to see lots of family, and Glen got lots of toys.
On Monday, I had to take Glen to have blood drawn to check for celiac disease (as soon as I get the results I will post them). Glen did so well!! He was being a little moody when we got there because he did not take a nap on the way to the lab like I had hoped. I was afraid that it was not going to go well. But as soon as the lady turned around to take his blood, he stopped moving and being fussy. He just watched her. She did all the stuff to prepare, like swab with alcohol and use the turnakit to find a vein. She stuck the needle in and drew the blood and he did not even flinch, no noise, nothing. He just watched what she was doing. He was such a good boy. I had to brag on him.

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
