Busy isn't the right word....

Well the kids first day of school was great. Austin started third grade and Abigail kindergarten. Their teachers are wonderful and they both love it! They started on a Tuesday and that Monday I was in the ER with Austin at Children's because he had blood in his feeding tube and was in a lot of pain. They never could tell us why this was and we went home. Tuesday went well with both kids at school. Wednesday, Abby went to school, but Austin was in such severe pain he had a seizure where he stopped breathing and turned blue...for a few seconds. SCARY! So, Thursday morning we were back at the ER and this time they admitted him b/c he was having a crohn's flare up. We stayed in there until Sunday. Then this past week on Tuesday Abigail ran a fever, so she was home on Wednesday. She was back at school on Thursday and on Friday Austin was in so much pain with his feeding tube that they scheduled an upper GI for him on Friday. It seemed that his feeding tube wasn't in the stomach track but was lodged between his skin and stomach, which explains why he is in so much pain! So we went up to the surgery suite and the literally had to pull very hard to get this out of his stomach...and put in a mickey button (G-tube). I am so happy he's adjusting to the trauma from the other one being pulled out and this one...but he's in so much less pain!!! After all this happened, Abigail has spent the weekend coughing and congested, which she can be a bear....I am ready for this week and a lil break from all this while the kids are back at school! I hope everyone can enjoy their week as well!!!
