A Rough Night!

so, yesterday i brought the 3 younger kids to their occupational therapy appt. they all did well, and kelsey actually went in all by herself. we were all quit shocked, but she did well with it. while kaylee was having her turn and jordan was in speech, i had kelsey in the waiting room. i was doing puzzles with her and we were counting objects. imagine my surprise whe she started counting in spanish. i knew she could count pretty high (13 i think) in english, but had no idea she could even count to one in spanish. she counted all the way to 5! i was shocked! see, t.v. is not that bad, they do learn things. obviously she got it from dora and diego, their favorite shows. kaylee can do it too, but not as well. she has all the names, but is all over the place. here is the video of kelsey:

onto the title of the post. after their appt., we went to visit doug's aunt, pat. all of the kids did well and we enjoyed our visit. we left to go do our usual, eat supper at applebee's). by the time our food came, jordan was not hungry. he said he felt full and he hadn't eaten anything. right before we finished eating, he started crying that his tummy was hurting. needless to say, we rushed out because i knew how bad it could get and how fast it usually happened. he cried the whole way out and doug carried him. i think most people thought he was being carried away crying because he was being bad. he was in pain the whole way home and i couldn't give him anything. i ran him a warm bath and let him lay in it for about an hour. that seemed to help a little, but it was only temporary. they went to bed at 8, when he got another dose of ib prophen. he woke up at midnight with severe stomach pain again. i was told i could give him doses every 4 hours, so i did. it didn't help. he was up EVERY hour. they would last about 10-15 min. with him in unbearable pain for that amount of time and then is would stop for the next 45, only to start again. this went on till about 9am. i got a dr. appt. for him for 9:30. his dr. did a urine sample which came back clear. he was a little concerned that 2 weeks later he is still showing new symptoms. we have decided to give the steroids a shot. i am not happy about it, but i am not willing to let him go through all that pain again. he said we can use tylenol with the steroids if needed, but i really hope to avoid that as well. the prescription is only for 5 days, and they hope that will be all it takes to get him over this. he just takes it once a day. he has been much better since taking it, so i am praying that this will do the trick.well, that is all for tonight. i will keep everyone updated on jordan's progress. latoya is walking on her foot again and went to school today without needing it wrapped, so i think she is healing quit nicely. my mom and i tried out a gym this week and will probably be joining by the end of this week. i actually do look forward to it. i hope everyone has a great week!
