Daniel Update #7

"Helping" Mommy make cookies - licking the spoon is the best part, right?!

It has been quite awhile since our last "Daniel Update," and many of you have asked how he is doing. In our last update we mentioned that we would be taking Daniel to a gastroenterologist to see if he had any further thoughts. It was a few weeks before we were able to get in to the gastroenterologist, but we finally saw him at the beginning of September. He looked at Daniel and asked us a bunch of questions, and determined that Daniel does not have a "gastro" problem.

Once again, that is good news and bad news. We are glad that Daniel does not appear to have a gastro problem; however that now rules out EVERY possibility we can think of as to why he could be having this back pain. At this point we are wondering if it is just something that he will grow out of. He has hardly complained about his back hurting at all in the past two months, so perhaps it is simply going away. That is our prayer. Thank you for praying with us!
