Never Give Up

Welcome to the World of Kat! I am a happily married mother of two boys who are quite a handful! I recently moved from Florida to New Jersey and my best friend thought a blog would be a good way to keep everyone informed!

We are back home!


Hello everyone! Well we are finally home! He is doing better. Well we got some answers and I also learned how life is going to be for us. He does not have a diagnosis yet, but we know its a malabsorbtion problem. He can't eat anything dairy, or crabs or anything that has sugar in it. Well the list that they gave me that he is allowed to eat is really ,really small. He has to be on the pump for 20 hrs. A day. He had some test done, but the results won't be in for a couple of weeks. This time around in the hospital I got to talk to some older kids with the same problem as Gabe to see how life has been for them. I also made friends with there parents. There was this one girl named Emily she was our neighbor. She is 11 yrs old. With the same problems as Gabe. She started around the same age as Gabe. Her mom said they have been in and out of the hospital since she was little. Once they get older it takes a toll on there body. Emily ended up having Diabetes and now she is having problems with her kidneys and bones. It's harder when they get older to be in control on what they eat. Also I have to worry about if he catches a stomach virus he needs to be admitted right away. He had lost a little over a pound in a week, but now that we have him on the diet and the pump he is gaining a little. Well he has to be seen on Monday to see how much he has gain. Then he goes back in Nov. Hopefully we get some test results soon. I am still planning on getting a second opinion at A I Dupont hospital in Delaware in Nov. Thank you everyone for your prayers!
