Too Much Information

Have you ever sat in a class or lecture and really try to absorb all the information that is being sent your way? You frantically take notes and are determined to walk out of class an expert on the subject....or at least a little enlightened only to realize that as you look over your notes you truly know nothing new. That is how the past week has been for me.

I have so many doctor appointments and baby related appointments that I am trying to stay on top of. My glucose levels continue to stay in the normal range and I truly have done minimal work on that except to monitor it 4 times a day. So my doctor says that if they remain level for another week I can go to once a day...YEAH.

Now we are adding a few more appointments to our schedule. Sean went in to have some bloodwork done for allergy issues we have been dealing with for really his entire life, but recently they have gotten worse. Anyway, the bloodwork came back positive for Celiac Spru (not positive of spelling). For those of you who do not know...that is an allergy to gluten. Eric and I began searching the internet for information, food options and really anything we could find out. Our brains were floating with all the info you can find. Luckily, we were already able to get into a specialist (another appointment :) ) and he is not sure that Celiac is the cause of Sean's issues so he has decided to do a biopy of his intestine to get a more accurate reading. It is only a 15-20 minute long procedure and will be done outpatient, but they will have to put him to sleep which always makes me nervous. We do not have an exact date yet, but we were told it would be in the next 2 weeks. He told us to not change his diet yet so the tests will be a true reflection of his tummy issues and to stay off the interent until we know more because there is a great deal of false info on the net....imagine that. So please just remember to pray for Sean and the doctor and Mommy and Daddy.

Rebecca and Luke are doing great! They are growing and moving and growing and growing. I will go in again in 2 weeks for another ultra sound to get their weights. We are just praying that they stay close in size. Last time they were only an ounce apart.

So even though things are a little hectic, we are surviving and everyone is doing ok. I just hope that next week provides a little more clarity and rest for us all. Thanks so much for keeping updated on our craziness and praying for us. We appreciate it so much.
