Blah, colds all around for everyone! Little Zac had it first, and has nothing but a runny nose now. I got it next and feel like garbage. Lu has it and her nose looks like a waterfall. Big Zac is complaining his throat hurts.
GERMS!!
I hate being sick because I feel like I lose my mind(more than usual). I could not get it together for the life of me today. I took Lu to the bus stop wearing a dirty onesie and a wet diaper. We came back in and she got a hold of my phone, called Aunt Dawn and woke her up. Then I had to make some phone calls to our doctors and while I did that she managed to pour milk on herself(which made her burst into throbbing hives from head to toe). After I washed her down and got back on the phone to finish my calls she pooped in her diaper, removed it and before I could stop her she tossed it on the floor. For crying out loud I have never had such a hard time watching this baby before, I swear!!
Other than that all is pretty calm at the moment. I have my can of Lysol in hand to brave the next few days.

Why the page?
I started up this page in order to continue keeping our family and friends updated, especially on our daughter Lucy. We truly appreciate the love and support we get from those who always seem so concerned for our daughter and try to do our best to keep everyone informed as things change!
Lucy
A Little About Lucy...
Lucy had a very normal birth and pregnancy, however, before we could even get home from the hospital with her she began having health problems. Immediately after birth Lucy began to deal with continuous vomiting, feeding refusal, GERD, severe stomach pain, and diarrhea. She was underweight and in constant pain by the time she was 2 months old. Lucy was quickly put on an amino acid based formula as our doctors searched for answers. After years of tests and continual health problems, Lucy was sent to an out of state hospital for specialized testing. Her diagnoses currently include GERD, Sandifers Syndrome, Asthma/RAD, Raynaud's Phenomenon, Failure to Thrive, Visceral Hyperalgesia, Delayed Gastric Emptying, and small bowel dysmotility. Lucy is now 5 1/2 and remains unable to eat anything at all by mouth. In June of this year she had a procedure called a Roux en Y in order to surgically place a feeding tube into her small bowel. She is on continuous feeds into her small intestine via a feeding pump, and her stomach is drained most of the day into a separate bag. Despite everything, Lucy still manages to live her life very much like your average 5 year old. She loves ballet and is learning to read! Her strength amazes us everyday.
Zachary
A Little About Zachary....
Hes our silly little guy that always keeps us laughing. Hes a protective big brother to his baby sister and is an easy going guy. Zachary has been diagnosed with Non IgE allergies to corn, milk, soy, and gluten after dealing with years of slow growth and stomach pain. He takes it all in stride though and never complains!
