...Glad to hear Jonah's lip is almost better. <br /><br />I had a similar problem with the lights on the outside of our house. Half of two strands weren't lighting. I threw them away! Then, when I went to turn the lights on a week later, half of a strand that was up wasn't lighting! I'm throwing them all away after Christmas and starting over!<br /><br />I love seeing pictures of Jonah. He's getting so big! Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Janet<br /><br />P.S. Hopefully the weather will be okay in NC tomorrow -- I'm flying into Wilmington to help my son and his wife move back to St. Louis from Jacksonville. It's going to be a long drive back.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357749042906243243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-68828934961192037562009-12-09T13:40:04.481-05:002009-12-09T13:40:04.481-05:00Have you asked your pediatrician about "Magic...Have you asked your pediatrician about "Magic Mouthwash"? Typically, a magic mouthwash is prescribed to treat the pain associated with mucositis caused by radiation therapy or chemotherapy. It is also prescribed for other oral ulcers and other mouth pain. As a RN, I have seen it work wonders with patients. Perhaps it would help for Jonah.My Sparkling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802605980643133405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-53065560877742298172009-12-09T10:51:48.342-05:002009-12-09T10:51:48.342-05:00I read your blog daily, but I think I have only co...I read your blog daily, but I think I have only commented once or twice. Just wanted to say you are a greater writer, a strong person and a great mom. I love that you made the blog about traditions! <br /><br />Also with his gushers, I dont remember if you said all the exact meds he was on, but have they tried reglan? with my son he had a heart issue which caused his esophagas to be swollen and he would have gushers a lot. <br /><br />They put him on reglan because it was like an anti vomit medication for reflux.<br /><br />Just thought I would let you know about it! <br /><br />Lisa (mom to CHD survivor Jaxon and heart healthy madison and #3 on the way!)Mom2aPrincess&Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574553496269067528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-73326312464908330542009-12-09T09:57:13.803-05:002009-12-09T09:57:13.803-05:00Yay, glad to hear you are accomplishing things and...Yay, glad to hear you are accomplishing things and that Jonut is eating, although I'll keep praying he gushes less. I'm also happy to hear that is lip is healed, thank goodness for that.

I just read the comments. Ashley said that she...Oh! I just read the comments. Ashley said that she would like a really nice Nativity set. I forgot about ours. We have used it so much and it is such a part of Christmas I did not think of it as Tradition (rather it is just "CHRISTMAS" to us!). We have the FONTANINI collection. You can have just a "starter" of the basics but you can also expand (as we have) to the whole town of Bethlehem and even they have a series "Life of Christ" which is neat. LOTS of online places to order. The pieces are a resin and VERY durable. They do break but it is hard. My three kids play with it EVERY year and most have held up well and one that broke was fixable (it was a basket handle) and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. We LOVE it. Each piece comes with a fictional story about how they connect with the new Christ child. It is a great series and we add a piece (or two or three) most years.

We dealt with something very similar last year for 2 months (granted, NOTHING like what you're going through) but it was VERY VERY frustrating and VERY VERY scary!!

What a blessing to be having such a great first Christmas with Jonah.

One thing I would like to add to my collection is a really nice nativity scene. I'm excited for you and Matt to have Jonah's first Christmas to look forward to.

Now that he decided that his bottle holds good tasting stuff he can't get enough.<br /><br />Happy to hear about all your Christmas decorating..I had never thought about wrapping the pictures to a more festive look. Looking forward to see the pictures.<br /><br />Enjoy this wonderful time with your precious baby.<br />As always continuing to pray.<br /><br />Love, WandaWanda Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906339828027614897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-91667077371048093902009-12-09T00:48:14.848-05:002009-12-09T00:48:14.848-05:00Hi Patrice-

Regarding ...I love Jonah and all of your postings.<br /><br />Regarding the gushers, some reflux meds are very weight sensitive, so maybe see if he has had the dosage changed recently. Prevacid is especially sensitive.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548588565010427622noreply@blogger.com
