I tried to take pictures of Brody's ready for school but he doesn't hold still very long and the camera seems to take forever to actually snap the picture.
5 years old and in Kindergarten
Since it is mostly Ryan throughout the day now and I was still trying to put stuff away he liked to get into stuff and play
So he got a hold of all of my bracelets
And had some fun!
This is just my boys in the car
being cute (and Brody is asleep I guess)!
So here is the built-in entertainment center at the Yale house torn apart.

More to come on the new house (hopefully some pictures soon)
Delaina and Kris are visiting this weekend which we are looking forward to. We love seeing those amazing and wonderful ladies. We always enjoy their company.
Also the results of Brody's procedure on August 11th came back. Brody has acid reflux (which is most likely one explanation of why he doesn't eat much cause, if you have ever had it, it affects your appetite). Back in February an x-ray revealed that Brody had fecal retention in his colon. Since then we have tried flushing it out or cleaning it out starting with a 3 day clean out with lots of miralax followed by a daily dose of miralax. Well the morning of the procedure Brody had another follow up x-ray to see if the treatment has helped. As it turns out there is just as much fecal retention as the first x-ray. Just to give an idea of how much it must be - the night before the procedure as well as the morning of the procedure we had to give Brody an enema to clear out what we could. So even with all that there was still so much fecal retention that the doctor would like a little more drastic attempt to clear out his colon. She recommended Brody be admitted to Phoenix Children's Hospital for a 2-3 day clean out. There are some details better left unsaid since I have already mentioned too much about poop. It is a little drastic but in 6 months the problem has not gotten any better. Also his doctor is a pediatric GI specialist and 70% of her patients also happen to have autism so I trust her knowledge and experience. We might be going in starting Friday September 9th. Cross your fingers and pray for our little Brody that he can withstand it all and that it will help him.
