Isaacs appointment went well. It proved to me once again how God has taken care of him and my family. We found out that he is swallowing too late in the drinking process. So we have to thicken his bottles with crushed cereal. Swallowing too late was causing liquid to go down his airway. The doctor was amazed that he hadn't been sick with a cold due to the late swallowing. All I can say is God has protected him. He has had this swallowing issue for at least a few months, when I noticed he wasn't always swallowing when his mouth was full. We started solid foods tonight! His first meal was sweet potato!he ate it like a champ. I think he is so excited to have eaten something with more substance. He must have been ready! He is a clean eater too which makes me so happy!

June...

I apologize for the long silence. My job has been extremely busy the month of May which caused metro be exhausted almost every night. Now that school is out for the summer I feel as if I can breathe more! So what has been happening in the iverson household this past month? Isaac is completely off of every medication! What an exciting thing! I hate medication and turn to it as a last ditch effort. If I have a headache I forget that an aspirin will take away the pain... I just don't take much myself so I don't like giving it to my children! in fact that is how I got him off of the reflux medicine... I had forgotten to give it to him for a few days and nothing changed. So I quit giving it to him altogether! Isaac is weighing in around 15 lbs, loves the exercauser and the door bouncer. He won't stop bouncing when he is held either. His legs are so strong. We had him dedicated yesterday at church. The best man from our wedding performed the dedication. The word he got from God when he was praying over him was "wisdom". That Isaac would have wisdom beyond his years. The Bible also says that wisdom is the principle thing. David and I both thought there would be something spoken about laughter and joy. However, that is what his name means so he will live up to that anyway. I was excited when it happened to be something else that was spoken over him! As for precious Arianna.... She says "I am done with ballet and now I can take swimming lessons!" Everytime we would go to ballet we would have to walk by the big pool. She kept asking to go swimming. I told her she had to finish this first before she could start in swimming. The last class got her all excited because she knew she could take swimming lessons next. So the first class is next Monday! By the end of the ballet classes she was doing all the moves and even dances at home. David and I just laugh at how cute she is. She starts dancing and then starts to dance funny and she can barely stand any longer from laughing so hard. We have to say that this year we are working on paying all of our medical bills. The beginning of the year started with me having to go to the chiropractor. Then David had to start going. Isaac has had about one specialty doctor per month. Hoping we hit his deductible very soon so we can get some relief. However, we have to say that with all of this money going toward medical bills and David and I being in agreement about not being in debit, that God has really been faithful. We have been doing well. Tomorrow I have to take Isaac to have a swallow test performed. Not sure what that will be. He is ready for solid foods but sometimes I notice he chokes when he is drinking. So his pediatrician gave us the recommendation to see a specialist. Believing to have some answers tomorrow. I am looking forward to making his food, I made ariannas baby food it was so easy and fun! Thank you for your patience with me as my life had been so crazy! Alli wanted to do. Was come home,spend some time with my family and go to bed! Thank you for reading!
