Slow to Go
The doctors tell me that Brody has a slow GI tract. I was not surprised since he's always been a little "slow to go". It appears that his stomach is tilted and his intestines are twisted. He doesn't have any bowel obstructions or anything but he has potential for problems in the future. So, in addition to a G Tube placement Mon or Tues, he will likely have his stomach and intestines repositioned. Its unlikely he'll have the Nissin procedure but we haven't ruled it out yet. None of these GI issues seem to be bothering him much. Last night, he laughed at me. The full belly shake, big toothy grin, and the twinkle in his eye. It may have been gas or something but I'm going to take credit for it anyway. Either way, it was nice to see what resembled happiness. And that moment alone makes this horrible experience all worth it in the end.

I'm so happy for the progress. I'm sure the credit for the smile is all your's and Joss's. You are such strong people and he is lucky to have you guys for parents.
P.S. There are some links on my blog to some websites where you can change the background. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
