On Wednesday Chloe went through another swallow test. Although it wasn’t really what we were hoping for it did offer us hope… and Chloe was actually excited. The test showed things were getting down a little further, although they weren’t dumping in to her stomach. What it told the doctor was that it was time to use a procedure of putting a small bulb into the esophagus in order to coax it open. This can be done more than once if necessary and Chloe will be asleep for the procedure.<\/p>\n
Chloe had a very good day or two after the test, actually saying she was encouraged again. That’s music to our ears as she has been pretty down lately. The timing isn’t set yet but it should be soon. If it works it won’t mean she’ll be eating turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, but it will be a start.<\/p>\n
Both kids are getting their colds back again and Dana has been feeling like crud, so the easy things aren’t even easy. We are trying to keep on track however.<\/p>\n
Colin went to a play at the school last night but couldn’t get in. Even though he was 40 minutes early, the play was sold out. Too bad as he wasn’t able to go to his teen group at the new church he is excited about.<\/p>\n
I spent a couple days researching a cyber bully\/basher who showed up on Colin and Dana’s facebook pages. . This little punk has been terrorizing the kids in the school for a while apparently. When he pulled his tricks on Colin, Dana jumped in to help and he turned his attention to some pretty crude attacks toward her. That completely set me off. So I copied everything he had on there and spent the next two days whittling down his friends list to find who he was associated with. Then I called the school resource officer of the Portland Police and went to the school with the facts. The dean was very interested in all I had and, although the kid disguised his picture and used a fake name, the dean was sure he’d find him after seeing all I dug up. The picture wasn’t disguised that well either. Stupid kid! Don’t mess with my family!!<\/p>\n
I’ll keep you posted about the new procedure as soon as I find out for sure. In the mean time, have a great weekend and….<\/p>\n
Be well,
