Josiah has had some stomach issues since the beginning of
June. It started before Abbey’s snake bite. We tease him that he must be
pregnant because he has all the symptoms of morning sickness: Eight weeks of nausea
and a huge appetite.
His doctor decided we needed to
see a pediatric gastroenterologist because he can’t figure what is causing it although he has ruled out pregnancy.
The closest ped gastro is several hours away and the appointment was in the morning
during a visit from my mom. So we made trip out of it and spent two nights at
my sisters house.
We had the usual adventures: lice exposure, Abbey got a UTI,
Silas’s eye swelled shut (mosquito bite allergy), Gideon got lost long enough
in a store to have to get the manager, and to top it off a tornado touched down
while we were in King Soopers forcing us to abandon Josiah’s prescription from
the gastro doc and flee the tornado.
It all worked out. None of us got lice (My sister spent $65 on lice testing and killing supplies and found no lice), Abbey’s UTI went
away with copious amounts of cranberry juice, Silas’s eye unswelled after 2
days, Gideon was found, and Matt can pick up the prescriptions today. I did not die from stress. ; )
So the appointment: We liked Joe’s gastro doc. She liked(!) Matt’s
sense of humor and to Josiah’s embarrassment the two of them had good laughs about nausea
and poop for most of his visit. In the end Josiah was given an xray and is assigned some various
diagnostic tests. She also prescribed a different anti nausea med to try since the first one didn't help. So we will see what they find

nice robin...so the doctor ruled out josiah's being pregnant.
I laughed out loud at that and had to read it to Chris. We are very glad that Josiah is not pregnant. He is a bit too young for that and he really should get married first. You guys do know how to keep life interesting. We are glad that you all don't have lice and that Abbey is feeling better. Praying that Josiah starts feeling better too. Miss you all a lot!
