Mickey Button

Layne got his mickey button put in on Tuesday! It wasn't a pleasant procedure but he doesn't seem to be in any pain since it was done so that is great! I am liking it much better than the PEG! It is much smaller and I don't have to worry about it getting caught on everything! We can even change it ourselves when the time comes, not looking forward to that but it is more convenient. They are good for up to 6 months!

A Much Needed Update!

Wow it has been way too long. Why? Well Layne is going to be a BIG BROTHER! His little brother or sister is making mommy very sick(just like Layne did). I have not felt much like blogging and still don't now but it is way past due. I will be 10 weeks Thursday. I have hyperemesis, which is what I had with Layne also. Hyperemesis is basically excessive nausea and vomiting. I am taking Zofran 8mg but it isn't helping. I have already lost 15lbs, with Layne I ended up losing 30lbs and it looks like I'm on the same path unfortunately.

So what's new with Layne? He is doing good. Still seizure free and still no vomiting! We have basically been trapped in the house due to my illness and the H1N1 flu going around. He will be getting his Mickey button tomorrow...finally!! I am very nervous about this as I'm afraid he will be in some pain afterwards. He has a neurology appt next Tuesday as well. I can't believe Halloween is next week, crazy how time flies even when your not having fun, but that's a good thing I suppose. Layne is going to dress up as a froggy this year! We are going to attempt to take him trick or treating a little, hopefully I can survive it!

Well I'm sure I am leaving out a bunch of stuff, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew we are still here!!! I haven't been in a picture taking mood lately so I don't have any new ones at this time:(
