Another exciting week at the Vela house. All of the kids have been sick Alex is having asthma trouble and we had to cancel a camping trip because his pulmonary function is so low. We started him on a new drug three weeks ago he gets 3 injections of it every two weeks so hopefully it will start kicking in soon and we'll see some improvement.
Sara has been getting up every morning for 16 days with a terrible stomach ache then she vomits and feels better a few hours later. We took her to the Dr. 3 times and they did all kinds of blood work and found nothing so today we went to Children's Mercy to see a GI Dr. (He reminded me of the toad in the Frog & Toad books) He thinks that it is acid reflux and the reason that she pukes every morning is because when she lays down the acid seeps up into the esophagus and has created a hole (hence the pain.) He put her on Prevacid two times a day and Maalox at bed time and the hole should repair itself.
Eric has just got some kind of creeping crud and has been home from school for three days. I think that he is on the mend now and should go back to school on Monday.
Other than that we are GREAT!
