24 Month and Counting

So today was the day I put Davin's pants on the last notch. This is a good thing because even though he is small, he still has height and 18 month pants are not cutting it anymore. Now he can hold up most 24 month pants with diapers on. This is a huge step for him. He can wear 3T tops because it doesn't matter how big around those are, he just needs height. I don't know what we are going to do when he is potty trained. Next week he is back at Primary children's to see Gastroenterology , so I'm hoping that they will have some practical answers. I think he is hypotonic as well as having TRAPS. Since he will be 4 next month and still showing issues we are hoping to get him the help he needs.

As far as the shots are going, it couldn't be better. I'm getting used to mixing the solutions, drawing, prepping and injecting my kids. The needles are small so it is not as bad as it could be. I honestly don't know how parents of diabetic kids do it day in and day out. 4 a week is enough for me.

I'm doing well, still VERY tired all the time. Luckily the pain is not bad, in part because I'm still quite numb from my surgery in May and I kind of know what to expect. My MD's said that they could not find any ovarian cancer so I am very excited. The survival rate of stage 3 ovarian cancer is 25% and I had a hard time wrapping my mind around that. The ovary was the size of a grapefruit and severely infected with some other concerns so they took it. They are 100% confident that they got all the uterine cancer and since the margins were clean I don't have to worry about it anymore. I also have not lost as much hair as I thought I would. Honestly I don't know how people do this.

Finally, to my surprise --- or maybe it was wishful thinking --- but Tyler and I do not have TRAPS. I was hoping it would explain the uterine cancer cells for me and Tyler's Autism, but I guess we will just keep those things separate. So our assumption is that Trevor has it, and I thought he was the healthy one! There has just been too many health issues in the last 4 years. I really feel like I should be getting a medical diploma right about now or at least some deep discounts!
