We take the GOOD with the BAD

Good news, NO surgery!!! They've ruled out Hirschbrungs disease, but there are some abnormalities with his nerve endings. What ever that means...

The doc is supposed to call back tomorrow to explain what this means and what we can do about it...if anything. So, for now Benny gets prune juice and water and I'm supposed to try to cut out all dairy from my diet (yeah right, do you know how hard that is!?).

On another note, the kids had their regular check ups with their pediatrician today. Benn's grown 2 inches and now weighs 10lbs 6oz! Avah is 32 1/2 inches tall and weighs 22lbs 9oz. In other words, healthy and growing like weeds! Avah got shots today :( 3 to be exact but she shouldn't need any more until she's 4 years old! Wahoo! I hate to see my babies cry.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It's meant a lot and really helped us through this scary time. Sometimes you just need reassurance that things will be OK. We are SO lucky to have such loving family and friends.

Hey Karen! So basically about the walgreens deal, you have to look online to see when there are sales- like the 2/5 wipes... the manufacturer coupons are the kind of coupons you get in the mail or sometimes they come in the actual package of diapers/wipes, etc. Register Rewards are kind of confusing... next time you need tooth paste, tylenol, lotion, etc. go to walgreens and usually you'll get register rewards for buying that kind of stuff. Then when you've stocked up on your RR and your manu coupons, wait for a good deal and you can get jumbo packs of diapers for 3 bucks and packages of wipes for 75 cents! :)
