New important information!!

So much has gone on with Deacon since my last post. First of all, they found out that the reason he was 12lbs at 10m was that he was missing his valve between his colon and small intestines. I guess no body thought to mention that that valve keeps all the bacteria in the colon. If bacteria gets in the small intestines then they block the receptors that absorb protein, and EVERYTHING else! So from when he was 4 m til he was 10m, Deacon didn't gain anything! Plus his measurements stayed the same! His head didn't get bigger and he didn't get taller. He stopped advancing physically as well. We didn't catch it because he started crawling at 4m. So we all thought he was super advanced. But after he started crawling, he didn't advance. So they put him on some pretty strong antibiotics to kill all the bacteria. So to counteract that Ive been giving him a protein shake 2x a day. Its got probiotics, protein, and a banana in it. It gives him something good! So since then, he now weighs 21lbs!! Hes 16m! He just started walking as well! We have found though that that set him back quite far. :( He doesn't speak at all.

In other news:

I'm pregnant with another baby with Hirschsprung's! They just found out on an ultrasound 2 weeks ago. We are very upset, but everything happens for a reason, right? The baby will be born around the end of Nov. So that means that we will be in the hospital for most of Dec. Booooo! So we are marching on, and I'm going to keep everybody much more updated!

Talk to you all soon!
