SUMMER BREAK

LILYANN:
The long and short of it is that she doesn't have to have tubes put in her ears. She had an appointment with an Ear Nose and Throat Doctor today, Dr. Hoff, and he stated that Lilyann's ears look great. Dr. Hoff said to give her a clean slate and to come in the fall if she has repeated infections this summer. WHOOHOO! Hallelujah! Thank you LORD!!! So, here we come summer, and bring on the swimming!!!

NOLAN:
Yesterday we meet with Dr. Brown at the Pediatric Gastrointestinal Clinic, and the news is good. Overall, there are no answers yet as to why Nolan has issues with the foods he does have issues with. We reviewed some of the things it may be and what it means and the results that we do have now. Justin and I decided to hold off on any further testing to determine what is going on until he is older and/or other concerns arise. Dr. Brown agrees that there is a concern and wants to figure it out, but since its under control and he is developing/growing great, she isn't eager to put him through the amount of invasive testing that is necessary to determine the source at this time.

Also, about two weeks ago Nolan had his White Blood Cell count taken and although its still evaluated, no action has to be taken at this time, because the antibiotic had lowered it. We go back at the end of July to have it checked.

AND, WE GET TO HAVE A SUMMER VACATION without weekly visits to various doctors. Hallelujah!!!! God is so good.

So there has been land taken in the Welker household, so to speak. The battle is not over yet, but we are ahead and will not be defeated. Greater is HE who is in us then HE who is in the world.
