Poor Baby..Does it ever end for her

Brynlee broke her leg yesterday. My little sister's friend stuck her on my sister's dresser and she fell off. I couldn't figure out why a perfectly happy baby was so winny and not crawling. She refused to put any weight on her leg, but sometimes she does that if I am holding her and she is tired. I honestly thought it was her teeth. I went to my mom's last night while ben put the rest of our stuff in storage. She cried anytime you moved her. I changed her diaper and she screamed, little did I know I was touching her leg right where it was broken. It just a looked a tad bit swollen and no discoloration. So after debating for a couple hours on whether to take her to the ER or just take her to Instanta Care in the morning, we decided to just wait till the morning. She cried most the night.

To top it all off, her blood sugars are running high and her skin has a yellow color to it. My mom and some of my siblings are the ones that brought it to my attention. I feed her such a variety of foods everyday that I know it is not due to too many yellow or orange foods. I decided to take her blood sugar last night after she has been acting so hungry and practically eating all day (but still losing weight). I was shocked that it was as high as it was. We took it again this morning and it was still high. As of monday she is a 1/2 pound less so the doctor scheduled her to see a specialist at Primary Children's Hospital. After telling our doctor's nurse about her elevated blood sugars and she said the yellow skin tone was obvious, the doctor is running blood tests. I really hope they find something and fix her soon. I feel bad for all the things she has gone through in her 10 months of life. She is still so happy and makes me smile.

This was Aiden's favorite toy when he was Brynlee's age. She doesn't look to thrilled about it. I thought it was adorable cuz they were kind of playing catch back and forth.

Bryn's Weighty Issues

Today Brynlee had her 9 month checkup (even though she is a week from being 10 months). She has been to the doctor a lot in the last month due to various weird illnesses that she just can't shake. She has developed another bad sounding cough with no other symptoms as of last night, which I am hoping is just allergies since her lungs are clear. Her height is in the 6th percentile at 26 inches. So she grew taller by an inch (yay). Her weight on the other hand, has the doctor extremely concerned. She weighed 12 pounds even, which is what she weighed at her 6th month checkup. She is looking really thin to Ben and I as well as the doctor. He is hoping it is her illness taking a toll on her body, but he is nervous that it might be a metabolic disorder causing her not to gain weight properly. I have been calorie packing her food for about a month, which has done absolutely no good. I add butter or oil to her baby food that I mash up myself..I even gave her chocolate the other day. The store bought baby food I just add vitamins too. Today I tried to give her just a little bit more food then she usually eats and she threw it all back up..besides she was coughing at the same time and choked, but there goes that idea.

So as a result of today's visit, she gets to have bi-weekly weight checks and has to be seen in another month. In two weeks, they will draw blood and check for the Nutritional disorders that he is concerned she might have. Just a little update on our peanut baby. However she is very on schedule developmentally. She learned to crawl, pull herself up to stuff, got two teeth, and walk along furniture all in a week. She even stacks cups up..it's her favorite toy. She is such a joy and such a happy baby. We are so lucky to have her.

My poor brother

Long story short: This is my brother, Ammon on Monday. My 18 year-old sister, Sharae's boyfriend/fiance punched him at 4:00 Sunday morning. This is the drama we are dealing with right now in our family. It is extremely heartbreaking to me that somebody would do something like that for no apparent reason. Luckly my brother did NOT hit him back and just walked away bleeding. I have never encountered such evilness in somebody as we have with her boyfriend. He has turned her against us among other things. She is no longer living at home (thank goodness). So the house is a little calmer and the spirit can once again be there, but it is heartbreaking to see my parent's face the last 6 months. I couldn't imagine what they must be going through watching their daughter slip away like that to someone so evil.
