How Things are Going
It's been a while since I've posted. Life is SOOO crazy right now! A good crazy though! :) A quick update:
JD finally at 3yrs old got his very first cold. His very first anything really, the poor guy has NEVER been sick! Which was funny as heck because he didn't recognize snot! :D He was freaking out over it! Like it was some kind of evil alien attached to his face. It was really priceless, up until he then shared it with me and then his big brother. Though for the first time ever, DW got it and it was like some kind of gnat to him. He was done in two days! Though it did give me an idea as to how delicate his stomach really is. Messed his GI tract up something terrible. Only yesterday did he seem to get right where his tummy was concerned.
DW had a myriad of tests run. There is worry about his once again dropping weight and that he's slowly dropping down the growth chart. All tests, save one came back alright. His thyroid showed some minor issues but, it would explain his inability to put weight on and problems with his growth. He has to go back in December to have another blood test to confirm whether his reading was a fluke or he has a problem.

He had some allergy tests done because something he ate several weeks back, caused his throat to feel tight. They all came back normal. Which was good but, worrisome as the doc and I have no idea what made him react that way.
On top of this, I've developed a cleaning bug. I literally spend all day cleaning, reorganizing and getting every corner of the house all perfect. Or at least perfect to me! :) I'm back to baking like a mad woman, cooking like a nutter and redoing rooms. I'm happier than I've been in years! It feels good to do the things you were born to do, to do the things that make you happy and be organized on top of it all. For the first time in years, I'm juggling a bunch of balls and feel like I actually can juggle them all!
DW's lost his third tooth. His tics ramped up for a while. I think it was his new meds, a combo of the first med and then this one we tried. He's settled down though now, his tics way more obvious than they have been in almost a year but, nothing too terrible for him. He now brings them up when he's upset, excited or nervous but, he's almost like a normal kiddo now. He goes to sleep by 9pm, his bedtime as little brother's is at 8:30. He is social to people now, which he wasn't so much before. He's just happier overall. Which is a good thing to see.

For now, this moment, life is incredible and I've never felt more lucky. :)
