So, according to Ryan on The Office, blogging is out. But I continue on...mainly as a way to remember these days. I think a blog can create a wonderful virtual baby book in a way. And being a mom to young children is a precious season that flies by so quickly. I easily get lost in the busy-ness of it all, the diapers, the sippy cups, the silly questions, and so many firsts... So this is my way of remembering my days as a mom to little ones, even if very few people ever glance at it.

So, late in the day yesterday, the nurse at the surgeon's office called. She told us that the pathology was not conclusive of Hirschsprung's Disease. I honestly did not know what to feel in that moment. I felt relief that he would not be undergoing such an operation, but at the same time exhausted to be back at square one. I think in a way Hirschsprungs felt like it could be the beginning of the end. I don't think any parent wants their child to be diagnosed with HD, but something continues to bother him and his system and an answer to "why" would be a sort of relief...a relief from wondering and from testing. Our sweet little one would have had to undergo surgery, which is always scary, but we hoped he would take off from there and begin to catch up and feel good. I think we could see an end in sight as surgery could possibly "fix" our little man. However, mostly we are thankful that he is not requiring surgery because there were complications that could happen and recovery can go several ways. I think our best case scenerio would be that he would just grow out of some kind of horrible reflux, and begin to "thrive." So now, here we are wondering what will come next.
