Curly Sue

My first attempt at curling Brynlee's hair. I love having a girl!

Just a small update on our peanut. Bryn had some tests done at Primary Children's Medical Center to try and help determine why she was not gaining weight and sometimes losing. They did a Cystic Fibrosis test, Celiac disease test, a thyroid test, and a x-ray on her heart. After spending two days going back and fourth up there, they determined that everything came out negative. So she doesn't have CF, celiac, thyroid issues, or a heart problem. That is a relief. However, our doctor thinks she might have a malabsobtion problem. Meaning her body is not absorbing nutrients. If they can't figure out if that's the real reason and why, then she can slowly starve to death. So in the mean time, until they figure something out, we are suppose to keep her as healthy as possible. If she catches a stomach virus or anything like it, it can cause extreme havoc and she would be put in the hospital. All in all, she is doing very well. Her cast came off a week ago. She still crawls most the time like it is on. She knows where her nose is and other people's. She is very smart for a almost 12 month old, but is the size of a 6 month old. She still jumps between the mid 12 pound range to the high 12 pound range. I am hoping that she is just small like her mom and everything is good. That is my guess.
