Look Mom, I'm Driving

Well, Matthew has had quite a week. Last week we went for his follow up to the doctor concerning his ear infection and everything was well except for the usual allergies. Unfortunately, he had dropped two more ounces off his weight, but the doctor wasn't overly worried since he wasn't eating because of his ears. After that he developed a nasty cough and a nastier nose. We came to the conclusion that his allergies were getting worse, and his medicine wasn't working as expected. He did actually manage not to run into anything or bruise or cut anything on his body this week.

However, we did have to take him back to the doctor today because of his cough and nose. He has a cold and allergies, so we changed his allergy medication again. Hopefully, this one will work. He also lost another two ounces from last week, so now we are headed for more tests. This time we're doing a sweat test that will determine whether or not he has cystic fibrosis. This is a little scary, but we are trusting God to take care of him. As I am a carrier of CF and Dennis is not, the probability is low, but the possibility is still there. We have the test scheduled for Tuesday, so we'll see what happens.

We spent last night out in the garage working on a few things with the vans. Dennis was putting the portable DVD player in the Odyssey for the long trips. Logan likes to watch movies when we're in the van for too long. Matthew and Logan decided they wanted to help Daddy. I convinced Logan to go ride his bike, but Matthew wasn't so easily swayed. He wanted to help and be near Daddy. This is where he ended up. He decided he was big enough to sit in the driver's seat. When I tried to get him down, he refused and pitched a fit. Five minutes later, he was back up in the driver's seat. Who knows, maybe he'll be a great race car driver one day. Just kidding, grandparents.
