More of a Need To Depend On God's Faithfulness

Tess had to take Miss Jones to the doctor because her pediatrician referred her to a specialist because unfortunately, she is in the 3rd percentile for her weight. Yeah, a lowly 18.9 pounds. She's 18 months and weighs what a 10 month old should weigh. She is our tiny little walker.

So we have to find out if there is something that she is eating that she is possibly allergic to. Dairy, wheat, gluten... blah, blah, blah. They type of something that forces them to eat a very strict, very defined diet to stay healthy. I don't remember any kids that I grew up with who had this type of problem. Anyway, we take her to the Cook Children's Hospital so she can be testing for food allergies. The scary thing is the fact that she will have blood drawn. In order to do that without her having a fit is for her to be put under light anesthesia to do the less than an hour test.

Please pray for us and our "little" lady as we all continue to press on in pursuit of being as healthy as we possible can.

Oh, by the way, this girl is obsessed with the little drink indicator bubbles on the top of drink cups . She has to make sure she presses them all, just like she's doing in the picture. Doesn't she look happy.

Later
