Thursday morning we headed into Denver before the sun rose for Jacoby's endoscopy at Children's Hospital. Everything went extremely well and we are so thankful to be near this hospital--they really know how to work with their special clientele and their parents! Jacoby did marvelously well for having to endure another long morning of fasting and going under sedation. He answered questions for the doctors and nurses and walked right into the procedure room so brave. We won't have the full results of the biopsies until early this coming week. It's hard to know what to think: on the one hand, we would like to find "something", whatever that may be, so we can move on with treatment and hopefully end any discomfort Jacoby may be having that we don't fully know about. On the other hand, what if they don't find anything? Then we're left with a bit of a mystery, a handful of symptoms, and the report of a 3.5 year old that suggests not everything is feeling right in his tummy. We're very glad to have the procedure behind us and are now just waiting patiently for the results.
Both boys had Halloween parties on Friday. Jacoby has been wearing his tiger costume almost everyday for the past 3 weeks, but Friday morning he came down all dressed up like a fireman and decided that's what he wanted to be for the school party. I put together special treat bags for each of them so that they could have a safe treat when they went trick or treating to each classroom. And we also brought safe treats to share with each class. We got to have Halloween music with Miss Amy, which was great fun, and all of the teachers were dressed in costumes. Needless to say, both boys had a great time and enjoyed participating with their class, so it was worth the extra effort and worry about keeping them safe.
Our Halloween activities today included painting our pumpkins, raking leaves (the boys are all about the business of cleaning up leaves in our yard and they are awesome helpers), eating apples with caramel, and doing a mini-version of trick-or-treating around the house. They were only mildly impressed by the trick-or-treaters they saw tonight. We had chili and cinnamon rolls for supper which was really yummy. Overall, it was a great day.
Justin's big news is that his first comprehensive exam has finally been scheduled for December 1 (9 am - 1 pm). He's got a lot a work to get ready over the next couple of weeks. Please keep him in your thoughts.
My meeting is one week from today (insert reminder to breathe here). I've got 1,001 things on my To Do list for tomorrow. The week will fly by, I'm sure. I think it will be a good meeting--we've got an interesting agenda and will have great attendance. We will also find out on Tuesday if our incoming board chair is the new Lieutenant Governor of Colorado.
Happy Halloween everyone and have a good week!
I'll start with this picture just to say that this child will stop at nothing when it comes to climbing and expanding his physical capabilities. The day when you see him dressed in a helmet everyday is fast approaching.

Painting our pumpkins. These boys love to paint!
They were chasing each other around the yard and Jacoby thought it would be fun to grab Morgan's tail. Morgan was not pleased, and the whole neighborhood knew about it!
Silly boys
Happy Halloween!
