It's been 25 days since my last update. I've been a busy people neglecting my blog. I keep thinking about everything that I want to post on here but never get around to doing so which makes me a bad blogger.
So in a run down, life has settled back down into a wonderful web of normal. Husby is busy filling wood orders before the colder weather sets in, Tink is busy doing all kinds of things toddler, R2D2 has slowly resigned himself to the fact schools starts soon and Dinky is just... Dinky.
Our new neurologist is amazing. We had a video conference at our local hospital about 2ish weeks ago and it was discussed and decided to try a different medication while a slight increase on another one that he's already on. But the one drawback was that this new medication isn't available in Canada. Which means that it's not easily accessible. So our Neuro had to write up a special request form for Pharmacare and then had to fill something out for Health Canada so that they would release it to us for Dinky. It took a few days and then 5 days for the medication to come from BCCH pharmacy to our house.
He's also not gaining weight well again so I've started reading about purees and Gtubes because there has to be something else out there other than just formula that he can be taking so that his tummy has something else in it. Our dietician at BCCH has referred us to someone local so that we can go talk with them to see whether or not we're optimizing his calories.
School starts in 11 days! I have a hard time believing that R2D2 will be going into grade 3. Time seems to be quickly slipping away from me as it feels like yesterday that he was proudly going into kindergarten.
With the cooler weather on the horizon it means Christmas shopping is well under way. Dinky's Christmas gift is almost complete and both Husby and I have decided on the larger gifts for the two older kids. Nieces and nephews are well on the way to being finished. I've squirreled away Husby's gift. Trying to figure out what to do for my parents for Christmas while at the same time trying to make sure that their holiday is a really good one. This year has been all kinds of tough for my family all around. Christmas will be done at our house this year and I'm VERY excited for it! Maybe we'll even decorate the house!
I love the holiday. Good food, good family, food times and good memories.
