A Day at the Museum!

As a last Summer hoorah Grammy and Popsi took the family to the Boston Museum of Science!  I have so many fond memories as a child sent in that building.  The museum has changed so much but a good time was had by all.  It was cheaper to buy the yearly pass so we will be going again in a few months and I cant wait!

Building bobsleds at the Hands On Engineering

My favorite part...The Lighting Show

The T-Rex print is as big as Ryry!

After the Museum we went 45 minutes in the wrong direction then 10 minutes to far in the right direction before finding Faneuil Hall for dinner!

The boys were so tired they were asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows.  Thanks so much Grammy and Popsi for a fun and educational day....cant wait to do it again!  Only maybe this time without getting lost in Boston?!?!?!

We have some great visitors this week!  Jay's family is visiting.  While it is a lot of prople in our house its so good to have my girls here!!

Children's Hospital Boston @ Waltham a diagnosis

We finally got in to see the Doctor at Boston Children's Hospital.  We saw Dr Gno.  Things went well.  We went over his history and various other Dr appointments and test results.  Basically it is a
confirmed that is is FPIES.  There is no definitive test for it and really no treatment.  The plan for right now is to continue with Elecare Jr and avoid the foods we know have made him sick and slowly introduce new foods.  They also took a bunch of blood for allergy testing not that we expect any of that to show anything.  The Phlebotomist did an amazing job and only had to stick him once and that has never happened!  We will follow up with the local GI in a few weeks and come back here the end of August.

Also he will be getting Tubes in his ears next week!
