Nicholas' Journal  October 2006

 

October 31, 2006 Tuesday - (Day +695) Outpatient - (Day 652)

 

                                         Its Halloween and we are "Trick or treating!!"

 

 Nicholas and I had so much fun trick or treating. He was not so sure of the homes that had a lot of spooky's there, but he did great. After 2 or 3 houses he had it figured out. I had him just follow the other kids a couple times and then he was a pro. We were out an hour and he almost filled his bucket. Nicholas started at his grandmas house then to "candy cane lane" we went where Mary lives. All the kids go there. Then back here for dinner, bath, and bed. He was very tired. Please pray for Nicholas and his great health.

October 27, 2006 Friday - (Day +691) Outpatient - (Day 648)

 

 Nicholas woke up this morning and started to sing his favorite song (healthy food). He is really good at carrying a note. He has been singing this song for days now and it is so funny to listen to him. He is wearing his new favorite Spiderman jammies and we are getting ready to go out and then this afternoon we are on our way to Moms house. Please pray for our little Nicholas and his health.  

 

 
 

 

October 26, 2006 Thursday - (Day +690) Outpatient - (Day 647)

 

 Nicholas woke up this morning on the go. The weather is turning a little cooler, but we still get out to the park and play. Nick went to the skate park and airport park. H loves to be outside during the day. We played video games (our nightly routine) before he went to bed. He did not react to the flu vaccine that he received yesterday and is doing great. Please continue to pray for our little healthy Nicholas.

WHITE BLOOD CELLS = 10,300  
RED BLOOD HEMATOCRIT = 42,300 
PLATELET = 481,000
RETIC = 1.6

IGG = 522

 

 Nicholas has a doctors appointment today. We will go over his urine analysis, his immunizations, and his IGG numbers. We will be leaving very early today since it will be a very long day. I will update later with his numbers and how he is doing. Please pray for great numbers and a very safe trip to and from.

UPDATE: 

Nicholas' appointment went very well. His IGG level is still falling but is to be expected. He grew 1 inch taller and gained 1 pound in 4 weeks. His urinalysis test from 4 weeks ago came back well in the normal range and the doctor was very happy with this. His retic count was normal and ths means that his blood is not hemolizing at all. All other tests were normal for him. The doctor commented on how good he looks and how great his speech is. We talked with her about the immunizations and we are going to start them. Nicholas had his first shot yesterday and it was the first of a 2 part series of the flu vaccine. He will get the next shot in 4 weeks when we go back for the next check up. Overall he is doing very well and very healthy. Please pray for  health and continued growth.

More great news today!!!

Nicholas' iron counts have been running very high for a longtime. The doctors have been doing some tests to see what it is and we change his diet to a iron free diet. The doctors said it could take 3 to 6 months for the iron counts to drop if this is it. We had the results today from the 3 month iron test and his count dropped in half from 5200 to 2700. They dropped in half so this is raelly a good thing. We will keep his diet this way and hopefully the counts will continue to drop.

                                                              Its Daddy's 43rd  Birthday

   I have the best present in the whole wide world - Nicholas is doing great and he is here with me for my birthday. Nicholas and his Mom spent the day backing cupcakes and cookies for me so when I went the to pick him up yesterday he greeted me with them, and also a birthday balloon, plates, cups, forks etc... and we are now going to have a party. What a great day. Please continue to pray for Nicholas and his health.

   Nicholas came down for a few days and after I picked him up he greeted me with presents for my birthday. When he got here I also bought  him some surprises. He got new Spiderman PJ's, and a new Spiderman blanket. He loves them. I put the blanket on his bed and he wanted to wear the PJ's as you can see. He is so funny and growing so fast. I bought him size 6 in the big boy section of the store. Please pray for our little Nicholas and his great health.

   Nicholas wanted to go back out to the pumpkin fields today and get  another pumpkin, but we needed to go back to Moms house and leave early in the afternoon. I told him if the weather held out and did not rain we would go back this weekend. H did awesome today. Please pray for Nicholas and his health.

                                         We went to the Pumpkin Patch today!!!!

 

    

 

 
Nicholas wanted to go get his pumpkin and carve it today. I decided to take him to Banner Ranch where they grow the pumpkins and let the kids go out into the pumpkin fields and pick there own. He had so much fun. He rode on an antique horse carriage, threw rocks in the river, went through a maze made out of hay, and then decided to pick his pumpkin. He did not want to leave and asked if he could go back tomorrow and pick another pumpkin. He could not wait to carve it, so after his supper and his bath we carved the pumpkin and he was elbow deep in slime. He then turned off all the lights and watched it all lit up until we went to bed. He really likes his pumpkin and had fun carving it. He was very busy today. Please pray for good numbers during his upcoming doctors appointment next week.

   Nicholas is still sleeping in his own bed and even got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. He surprised me when he got up, but did the deed and went to bed. Last night he made strides again forward. I think our little Nicholas is growing up. He is going back to his moms today and he informed us that he is going to see the blue balloon, feeding the ducks, Herreth park, and lunch at McDonalds. What a day he has planned. After arriving at his moms he showed me how he rides the 4 wheeler. He is so cute. Please pray for our little Nicholas and his health.

   Nicholas was very busy today and wore me out. We played all day while the weather is still warm. Fall is in full force, but the days are still very nice. He played for 2.5 hours at the park and had a lot of fun. He wants to go back tomorrow. He played his video games with me and his all time favorite right now is Wheel of Fortune. Please pray for Nicholas and his IGG levels.

   Nicholas has been dancing and singing all day. I know that he does not get his dancing from me because I do not dance. He has great rhythm, and wonderful moves. He likes the new house and the extra space. Please pray for Nicholas "The Little Dancer" and his health.

   Nicholas woke up this morning to 1 dollar that was left by the tooth fairy. He has 3 dollars now and he wants to put them in his pocket. He was dancing all morning to the music and the TV. He is so awesome. Wheel of Fortune is one of his favorite shows and he got a wheel of fortune game today. He took it to his moms to play with it and really likes it. Please keep on praying for his health.

   Nicholas was decked out from head to toe with Spiderman. We were out all day and then soon after we arrived at Herreth Park it started to rain. We waited a while and when it did not stop we left. He has so much fun there. We had a great day and off to bed he went in his own bedroom. He lost another tooth tonight so the tooth fairy is going to come. Nicholas put his tooth under his pillow and was excited. Please pray for his continued great health.

   Nicholas is here for the weekend. We are going to play games, go to the skate park, and Herreth. It will be a weekend filled with fun. I am still going to have Nicholas sleep in his bedroom in his bed. He loves his new room and is playing there more and more. He seems like he is growing up so fast. Please keep praying for his health.

   Nicholas did great last night again. He slept in his bed all night and did not even get up. He really likes his new bedroom, and "daddys new house." We went out for our normal day routine and Remax had a hot air balloon set up. Balloons are one of Nicholas' favorite things, so I asked if he could go up for a ride, and he did. He was a little cautious at first, then he wanted to keep riding. He had so much fun. Please pray for our little Nicholas and his health.

   Nicholas loves his new place. He thinks his "new room" is awesome. He was such a big boy and slept all night in his own bed last night. He did not g up, not even once. He even played in his room off and on all day. We went to the skate park and Herreth park until we got rained out. He was busy all day and had fun. Now that we have a dinning room table back he is eating all by himself at the table. Wow, this has been a long time coming. He is doing great. Please pray for the continued great health of Nicholas.

   Dad has spent the last couple of days moving into his new apartment. Nicholas was so excited when he came over to see his new bed, room, and everything. He ate his dinner at the table with Spongebob and played his new video game. Nicholas lost another tooth today and the tooth fairy is going to come and bring him something in his new bedroom under his pillow. I am going to get him to sleep in his bedroom, in his bed, all by himself tonight. Nicholas is doing great and please pray fore his health.
