We started the year off with a BANG! We surprised the kids with a trip to Disney! It was a great trip even though we did almost die in Atlanta :) but I digress!
Enjoyed V and S's basketball games. Started baseball. Here came S's 1st Communion Day which also happened to be Mother's Day. He swallowed a coin. 2.6 cm. We called 911 and took him to the hospital. He passed the coin nearly 2 weeks later and we figured we were in the clear.
July and August he just kept mentioning how bad his stomach hurt. We said...try this, do this. It didn't get better.
In July Mr. Fish went to the dermatologist to get a lump on his face checked out. After many different opinions and Dr.'s they decided to remove it. It was cancer. He went back in October and got an all clear for 6 months.
In late August we were starting to get really concerned about S. Took him to the ped and she referred him to a ped. gast. at University of Chicago. He was recently diagnosed with esophagitis and also has a prolapsed rectum (which he will be having surgery to repair in March or April). We are thankful to have some answers where his stomach is concerned.
In August and September and October Fish woke up with both eyes swollen shut. His ped. referred him to a ped. allergist at University of Chicago. He had testing and is severely allergic to many things including pollen and ragweed. We are currently managing his allergies with prescriptions.
In October V came down with what we thought was the stomach flu. No one else got it. She vomited at least 5 times a day for 2 weeks. She had blood drawn and everything tested fine. The only thing the Dr.'s kept saying was it must be stress. FINALLY it stopped in early December.
I'm so thankful this year is ending. We are all mostly healthy. I can't wait for 2012! It is shaping up to be one of the best years of my life!
Happy New Year's friends!
