Chewing the Fat

This week I just need to direct you to Bonnie's we talk dinosaur blog. It talks about Isaac, like usual, but specifically about his weight, which is what is on our minds these days. He is still a healthy weight, but he hasn't gained weight really, in the past 10 months.

We are in Louisiana now, visiting grandparents and Aunt Liz before the school year picks up again in Houston. Isaac's activities today included toy time, watching brother with his baking soda and vinegar rocket, some computer games at pbskids.org, book time, some movie time with Jake and the Neverland Pirates, bubbles and water fun outside, and falling asleep in Aunt Liz's bed.

And now we enter that phase of hope that everything will remain as it is or better yet, get better. Other than Isaac's sulfasalazine and azathioprine (and folic acid and probiotics), he and his colon are living a healthy life.

Some of our latest exploits can be found on Bonnie's we talk dinosaur blog. What we're looking forward to this weekend is our first boys-only camping trip into the wilderness of a yet-to-be-determined Texas state park.

One thing I want to mention as a sort of follow up to our last post is that when everything is going well with us, we really appreciate it. Our prayers and thoughts remain with those with IBD who are suffering, that each sufferer finds remission or at least some relief or peace soon!

Also, for those of you just stumbling on some IBD blogs, I point you to the right of my blogspot, where you can find other IBD stories which may interest you.
