Oh how I love my little man










Isn't he cute?

Oh did I mention he is getting pretty good at sitting by himself? He amazes me every day.

He had an appointment with the GI today and they think he might still be refluxing. They want another swallow feed done. And to think we thought the Nissen Fundoplication surgery would fix that...

Way Late Update :)











Brody did have his Nissen Fundoplication surgery December 18th. I was so nervous for it because of what happened last time he had something like this. But everything went great! They did surgery with a robot so they could do smaller incisions. They only had to make 5 little ones. After surgery in post-op he had a very high fever of 105 and they weren't sure why. But it did slowly go away. When he would wake up you could tell he was in so much pain by the way he cried, it was so sad!! We were in the hospital for 3 days.

I can say that it is so different having him not spit up everywhere and not burp. I kind of miss that he can't burp and I know he does because now he has gas pains from it. Things have changed for him for the better, we can now do tummy time! But things have also gotten harder, he is not a good sleeper at night because of his pains. And he's a bit more fussy. In the long run though everything will be better for him.

We had an amazing Thanksgiving/Christmas with the family! I absolutely loved it! And now we are on to the New Year and those resolutions that go along with it. One of mine is to blog more.. really I will try. But I also want to really work with Brody on hitting those milestones that he needs to. And of course lose weight.
