david and his nose.
*
i am happy to report that david’s tummy is feeling better .
he has been much less crampy and reflux-y. we are so happy!
but a couple days ago while i was picking his nose
(don’t you pick your kids’ noses??)
i noticed a bump just inside the left nostril.
so we saw our pediatrician yesterday and the ENT today.
it looks like a benign polyp, but they want to do an MRI and see if there are other polyps or anything else to be concerned about.
we are driving down to children’s hospital in los angeles tomorrow morning to see a specialist.
they’ll probably schedule a simple surgery to remove the polyp(s).
we are hopeful that it will be simple and taken care of quickly.
in the meantime i am madly doing laundry, rescheduling meetings and getting the house in order since we weren’t planning on leaving town.
i’ll keep you updated. and thanks for caring about our sweet david!
my thoughts and prayers are with you..
good luck to you and your sweet boy ..
I’ll keep you and your sweet one in my thoughts and prayers…..i know as a Mommy how hard these things can be.
Much love to you….
ugh. hang in there. praying for you.
thinking of you and hoping all goes well.
hugs!
Happy to hear your sweet boy’s tummy is better. Best wishes for David’s appointment tomorrow. Sending warm thoughts your whole family’s way - Tina x
Will be thinking of you guys!
Hope everything’s ok with David. Thoughts + prayers go out to ya’ll!
Hi, Lisa. I’ll be praying for you guys and that must be a relief that his tummy is happy again. Hugs to you.
Oh my goodness, Lisa. What a roller coaster for you guys. I hope it goes smoothly and turns out to be quite minor. I can relate to those “we didn’t know we were going to the hospital but here we go” experiences, but not so much lately. Good luck with everything. (And yes, I do pick my kids’ noses when they will let me! I’m a picker).
Praying for you all. Ugh. It’s tough when you know it’s nothing, but can’t quite convince yourself of it!
We’ll be praying for you.
I’m so glad he’s feeling better, hopefully this bump will be nothing. Good luck tomorrow.
lisa…we will be praying for david tomorrow and for the doctors as they care for him. hopefully it will be simple and not much to it. let us know how he is doing! have a safe trip!
Praying for you and your family!
Keep the faith. You have a lot of support here on the blog. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you!! You’re in my prayers!
Oh my goodness, first one thing and now another… hopefully it all turns out to be minor… good luck!
If it ‘aint one thing, it’s your mother…(: You seem like a resilient person and someone who stays positive and upbeat as hard as that is sometimes. Good luck to you and I will add you to my prayers…
I do hope everything goes well for David and the rest of the family, thinking of you all and sending hugs & kisses for little David xo
Lisa, Praying for you and your family. May you feel God’s mighty presence and His peace.
Poor little guy! Praying for you guys!
Man, Lisa, really?! Sending love and good vibes out west to you all! (And yes, I do it too!)
Sending much positivity to you and your family…I may not know you personally, but you are in my thoughts. Hang in there Mama…xo
Oh how I love him! He’s such a sweetie. I hope things are okay.
I will say an extra prayer for your sweet family tonight. You touch me in ways you’ll never know, Lisa. I know David will be fine. I know it
I hope everythings okay. good thing you pick his nose!!!
I hope things go well!
I am praying for you RIGHT NOW. Please keep us updated.

Praying for your sweet little guy, and for you, sweet Mama.
Thoughts and prayers going your way!
Thoughts and prayers for you and David that all goes smoothly and simply.
Praying for a quick and easy surgery for sweet David!!
Thinking of you and your family. Hang in there!
my prayers are with you. i also have to leave without notice to OC. looks like my sweet mom is beginning her journey heavenward. hugs, lisa
Praying for you and your family. You are amazing and can do it all–thanks for being an inspiration to me.
Praying for him ! Have safe travels.
I love the top left picture. He is such a sweet boy! =)
I’m so sorry to hear about David’s cute little nose…praying…
Goodness, that little guy is having quite a time, as are you I’m sure. You seem to be keeping positive. Make sure to do nice things for yourself as often as possible. Wishing you loads of good luck.
Saying a prayer for your sweet boy!
Hope all goes well for your little champ. Drive safely. Hey LIsa, I realized that your sister lives in OC..me too…I am sure that you will find something with “love” during your trip here. Keep us all posted and thinking of you. Hugs
good luck little David! i’ll be thinking ’bout you. you’ll do great and be fine…i’m sure!! xoxo
i also have a son, mac, with special needs, he’s 17 now, but what a joy he brings to our lives. what breaks my heart is all the nasty things he has to endure, much like david. so unfair. the bright side is that he has taught us & continues to teach us daily how to be better people. it’s obvious that david has blessed your family. i wish him better days ahead & you too. hang in there…lots of hugs
It’s never fun when something is wrong with your kiddo — add to that the stress (and annoyance) of doctor’s visits — in my book, those are rarely fun either. Will pray for David today. Thank you for sharing the joys & struggles….and I don’t think I’ve said it yet, Happy New Year.
I hope everything goes well. Kids are so precious to us!
I’ll be praying for you and David that everyting will be all right!!!!!!
Hope everything goes well… sending prayers to our Father for your family!
Good luck. I hope it all goes smoothly.
I pray for you
Prayers for David … and for his mommy! Destiny
Your little guy is in my prayers…hope things goes smoothly……
Take care,
Donna
