Quiet weekend here! On Saturday morning I took the kids to their swim class. Grandpa Gordy came as well and afterwards, he took Ajax home with him. There was a lot of farm cleanup to do and Grandpa needed an extra hand. After they were deployed, Noomi and I went grocery shopping and did some general running around. We had dinner with friends, which meant a late night for baby girl.
On Sunday, Grandpa Gordy brought Ajax home and reported that they did a ton of work on the farm. Ajax reported that he got to stay up late and watch inappropriate shows, which were awesome (ie. Mash and some movie with a dragon). Dave and the kids cleaned the house and did laundry while I went into the office for a few hours. When I got home, we took the kids to the park and then finished the family craft project I started.
Medical update:
So, for the past 2-3 months Ajax has been complaining about stomach pains. We took him to the doctor’s three times with no answers. The doctor ordered blood work, which we completed on April 14 (Friday). The nurse did a wonderful job drawing blood and afterwards I took him to school. Aside – since it was Friday it was his Mileage Day, so Noomi and I went up and ran a few laps with him! He did four laps and was very excited.
Ok, so back to the medical – on Monday I got a call from the doctor and they asked us to come back in to talk about the test results. When we went in, the doctor explained that Ajax has elevated inflammation markers and low iron levels, which was concerning and possibly the start of something more. The doctor said she was happy to see that he has consistently gained weight and that we needed more information to find out what’s going on. We were referred to a ped’s GI at Mott Children’s Hospital and have an appointment on May 5th. Hopefully we’ll have some more info at that appointment!
