Good news!

We got a call from the genetic counselor today to inform us that the urine screening taken during Tyler's hospitalization revealed no abnormalities and the bloodwork that they repeated at the geneticist's office in Peoria was 100% NORMAL!!!! YES!! Although we still have to wait for up to 2 more weeks before we get the results of the DNA testing, the genetic counselor said this is "very encouraging news!"

Now for the not such encouraging news.....We had to take Tyler for an unplanned visit to the pediatrician today. He has been extra fussy the last 24 hours and he had a bit of a fever (99.7 last night) so the doc had us come in just to be safe. He couldn't find a thing wrong with him so he is suggesting at this point that maybe colic is the culprit. Or he may just be having a bad couple of days. I couldn't believe when they put him on the scale though--he weighed in at 9 lbs. 1 oz., up from 8 lbs. 0 oz. just 8 days ago!
