Health Challenges!

The last month has been full of health challenges with Sam! After 3 1/2 weeks on antibiotics, we ended up with three days of antibiotic shots this week! Not fun for any of us. He seems to be doing much better and hopefully we are in the clear for awhile. After losing almost three pounds, the GI Dr. decided we needed to put Sam through some tests. Last week Sam had a video swallow and lots of X-Rays to check on his GI system. On Feb 9th we will be spending the day in the hospital. He is going to have an endoscopy and a colonoscopy to rule out any complications. This will not be fun since he will have to be under general anesthesia. Hopefully, we will receive some helpful information. The good news is that Sam has not had a seizure in two months! We are waiting to hear the results of the GI tests before we decide if we are going to Rochester at the end of February or putting it off until spring. We are not certain if the seizure meds are causing the complications with Sam's tummy problems or not. Sam has also not been sleeping and he has started a habit of beginning his day around 3:00 AM!!!! This is exhausting for his parents. Please pray for Sam's health, his sleeping habits and that the tests go well. Also, please pray for Jeff and myself that life gets a bit calmer! We could really use a break!
