We went to the doctors yesterday. She checked her, weighed her etc etc. One good thing was Kate had gained .2 lbs since last week. But she went ahead and scheduled a UGI..or a barillium swallow. Kate will drink this chalky stuff that appears under x-rays. So it will see what is going on after she eats stuff. We'll be going in tomorrow at 10 AM...sucky thing is that she can't eat anything 4 hours before..yikes! She's going to be crrraaaanky! Oh well. So I hope everything goes well. I'm nervous about it all really..
The doctor also prescribed some Reglan and from the time we've given her that, she hasn't puked...so either that has helped or we are pro's at not allowing her on her back!
Joe takes the GRE on Thursday. I've been helping him look up words..I can't tell you how many i've looked up...but there are some weird and interesting words out there! I won't go into detail because it's boresville but
I will be very glad when he is done and over with that!
We've been asked to speak in church for this next week on the Gift of Repentance...All I have to say to that is...crap...I hate public speaking!
ANyways, I hope my dad sends over my camera REALLy soon cause bloggin is not the same without pictures.

no wonder you have not posted any pics lately!
Don't be nervous. Taylor had to have an xray when she was about 9 months old because she had a UTI. They did a good job and it actually went pretty smoothly. Hopefully you won't have to wait long.
As for the not eating, when Shelby had surgery at 12 months she wasn't allowed to eat for 12 hours and then they were about 2 hours late getting her started. It was awful. Lots of cool distractions work nicely. (We were in a hospital room, so we let her play in the sink, play with the miniblinds, rip paper towels - lots of stuff we wouldn't normally do to distract but it helped out a bit.)
Really . . . don't be nervous. It'll go smoothly and knowing Kate she'll handle it well.
It's ok to be nervous. You have every right but everything will be alright. Hang in there. What exactly is Joe applying to?? I know he is graduating from be a dentist so is it orthodontic school or what? How long is the school and where is he applying?
Good Luck (to both you and Kate). Maybe she'll surprise you and things will go smoothly. It seems like the times I fret the most end up being not as bad to my surprise!
When Josh had his CAT Scan and EEG done it was hard, but knowing it was to find out something regarding my childs health, deep down there was a sense of peace knowing I was doing the right thing at that moment; and knowing I had a faithful priesthood holder to help out too was great!!!
Hopefully you will get some answers now!!
You guys will be in our prayers and thoughts through out the day. You have a lot of going on right now!
Poor Kate...I have had to drink that barillium stuff and it sucks!! Hopefully though you can get some answers. It is always nerve racking to have your kids undergo testing....I am a pro now but it never gets easy. She will do great and the no eating thing....well been there done that and yeah no fun but babies are so good at adapting.
Let me know what I can do to help!
isn't it the worst when your little one is sick and there isn't anything you can do to make it better? hope that the xray goes well and good luck to joe on the GRE- When Ryan took his licensing exam, I got sick to my stomach all morning just waiting for him to be done. Bet you can't wait til thats all over!!
Oh, I hope they can figure out what's going on with her. You are a busy lady helping your hubby study and making sure Kate doesn't lay on her back. You will do awesome speaking. But I know what you mean, I hate speaking too. Good luck, at least you won't have to do it again for a year or two. Keep us updated on Kate.
sorry to hear about kate puking! i actually take babies for barium swallows at my work, don't be alarmed when her poop turns really light afterwards! hope it all goes well. let me know how the talk goes and go ahead and just email me your talks because jared and i have to speak on the exact same thing in like 2 weeks! i am with you on the public speaking thing, i hate it.
I am glad that you are getting so answers. This kind of stuff does make me a little nervous. Jackson had to get "put under" when he was about 10 months old and it really made me nervous. I know that Kate isn't having that done, I only say that because it is just scary when you feel uncertian about something with your child. I am sure everything will go well, but keep us updated!
Lyssa-
This is Brittany. I totally remember you you are funny. I haven't seen you forever!It's okay that you were looking at blogs because I do the same thing. It is fun to get to see people that you haven't seen for a long time. You just pray that people have mercy on you when they see that you've had two kids! Life changes! ha ha~ I'm just kiddin. Thank you for your cute post. I think your kids are adorable too! I'm sorry to hear that about your cute little girl!~ I don't know if you read down far enough on my blog, but my son had to have surgery 3 days after he was born. We spent the first month and a half in and out of Primary Children's because he had an intestinal disease called Hirschsprungs. It's really scary when it's your baby no matter what it is. Were lucky to have great doctors around us that really know what they are doing! My son is good now I hope your daughter is doing good. Good to hear from you keep in touch!
