A few updates on little Rylan. Since the last update (in December) Rylan has officially hit the 28 lb mark! This is a big milestone for Rylan, because he was at 27lbs since August of 2012. He just gained this in the last few days so I am a little nervous that it could go back down but I am hoping this sticks :) He also had a good Easter. The pic above is him on Easter Sunday ♥
So with the good comes the bad. . .
In February of this year he started these weird vomiting episodes where he will cry and hold his tummy in pain, he will do this for a few minutes and then he vomits, he normally will only vomit anything that he has eaten that day and usually nothing more than that, and these usually happens in the mornings so he really doesn't vomit a whole lot. During these episodes he gets real tired, pale and shaky, and then afterwards he falls asleep for a couple hours and then once he wakes up he is completely normal like nothing even happened. He did this for 3 days in a row in February and he also did this for 4 days in a row in March. Every time the exact same thing happens, which along with him falling asleep and that there is a pattern to it has me worried. So we are set to see a GI specialist tomorrow, to hopefully get to the bottom of his lack of weight gain, vomiting and constipation issues.
Also on April 11th he is going to be inpatient for a 24 hour Video EEG and the next day he is getting an MRI done to make sure nothing has changed. I know we have nothing to worry about but I am a little nervous, because when he had the MRI the last time he just turned 2 and he didn't have all these other symptoms. So I worry that they could find something on his MRI, but I can't let that thought get to me.
He is turning 4 next month and he is so little it makes it hard to believe I will have a 4 year old. He is also doing great in school. He misses quite a few days when he is sick and then all his doctors appointments but they are very understanding about it. Right now he is home sick, he isn't to bad right now, but he is running a slight fever so they don't want him at school if there is a fever. I guess that's all the updates for now ♥
