Rockin 2

Better late than never, he is almost 2 months into being two but who’s counting. Time flies, I can’t believe this little boy is already two years old.

Since we last talked Rylan has had the stomach flu, eye infection, sinus infection and a nasty cold. However he is currently in a great heath status…..I should not type that because school will probably be calling me within the next hour…knock on wood! Anyways you can see one thing that is not improving with Rylan is his immune system. Being deficient in IgA it is possible it will never improve which means I will need lots more therapy on how to handle sick kids while keeping the anxiety level down. It really is fitting that I end up with a kid that is sick all the time because when I was little….or I should say my whole life my phobia has been sick people.  If someone was ill I would go into an extreme panic attack. I guess it is time for me to get over my fears and there is no better way than having a kid that is sick every other week.

We went for his 2 year check up on Friday and had a perfect appointment, minus discovering an ear infection. Our Pediatrician was so impressed by Rylan, she didn’t even recognize him. He has FINALLY made it on the growth scale at a whopping 4% for height and weight, so exciting. She thinks that early intervention has been huge for Rylan and all the therapy and awareness we have had has allowed him to improve in all areas. I let her know we think Rylan has so much more energy and has been so much happier lately and she thinks it is from his gluten free diet. She said she saw it happen to another little one the same age as Rylan. I am not sure if it is really the diet or not but we are loving this newly energized very silly little boy.

We need to get some more appointments scheduled to revisit the low growth hormones and enlarged liver, more details on that later. For now we are having lots of fall fun.
