Back to School!

Well, Beau started back to school on Monday... can I please admit to you that I am kinda relieved? I mean, as much as I do miss him during the day, it is much easier just having one kid or the other here at one time right now... lol.  These boys fight like crazy right now. I know hope that will change as Brody gets older, but right now they seem to be fighting almost all.the.time! A little bit of boredom, a little bit of big brother/little brother syndrome, a little bit of big brother wanting to be the boss, and a little bit of 2 year old all rolled up in one! AGH!  Anyway, he does seem to be LOVING his school and teacher so far, so that is definitely a good thing. I was just a little worried about the transition. He does tend to be a little shy and anxious at first in new places and around new people. 

Now, about ALL these Dr. Appointments as of late... Jason was prescribed a daily inhaler that he has to take twice a day to hopefully help prevent these asthma attacks that he has been having. It seems to really have helped so far, so we will see how it works now that he is back at work and out in that environment all day. He will take it for the next 2 months and then go back to the doctor for a follow-up. It has a steroid in it though, so I really hope they switch him to something else long-term.  Oh, and he is scheduled for an EGD on Sept 13. 
As far as I am concerned, I have an MRI on my shoulder tomorrow morning, so I'll let ya know how that turns out. 
Beau is scheduled for his EGD and a Colonoscopy on Sept 17.  They will be looking for Celiac along with Colon Polyps. I can't help but worry.  He has to do a 3 day cleanse! That is crazy to me, I thought you usually just drink that stuff the day before?  He starts on Friday eating nothing but soups and jellos and stuff like that. Then Sat is just clear fluids, and Sunday is the stuff they give you to drink and laxatives. My poor baby!! If you know Beau, you know this will NOT be easy.. he is such a picky guy! Oh well, I am determined to do whatever needs to be done to make him feel better. No 8 year old should have to feel so bad all the time,  and I really feel good about this doctor and what he thinks needs to be done.

So, that is what is going on around here right now. Gotta go get the kiddo from school. Talk to ya'll soon!  :)
