April update

Well April is here so I wonder if spring is here to stay? Our news right now is our little man Finnian has put on weight finally. Our boy now weighs 31lbs and is 39 inches tall. If anyone says a bad thing about feeding tube they don't know what they are talking about. Since our lad got his g-tube he has put on 6 lbs and grown 2 inches.
He went to see a new doctor on monday well we call him the "water works Doc" he is a Urologist. The sad part is our little lad might have kidney stones. Can you believe a 3 year old with kidney stones? Doc Terry told us that the stones are usually caused by 1) diet 2)medications 3)insufficent water intake but there are some cases of it being a family trait.Well Finnian has all 4 factors for stones so the next step is he has to have a scan of his kidneys and all his pipes and his bladder to see if he has any. If he has stones we will deal with them and if he doesn't we can mark it of his list of problems.
Well the other two are good Maura has her "moving up" (graduation) in June and our big man Eoghan Will be making his First Holy Communion on the 3rd of May.
That's all the news I have for now
