Rochester....

I finally got a picture of Jaxon and Great-Grandpa and Grandma Knick! He is so blessed, as are we, to have them to stay with when we are in Rochester. It is a comfort for Jax to have them there! We had to drive through icky weather on Monday night! There were so many cars in the ditch, but Jeremy drove great and got us there safely! I am so glad he was driving cause there is no way I would have made it. We had an early morning on Tues. with Dr. Mason. Jaxon had cortisone shots in both knees and ankles. He was going to have the same in the hips, but we need to have a radiologist to do that! He was put out, so he didn't feel a thing!! The whole thing took about an hour, that's with prep and waking up too. It went so fast and so well. We were waiting for Jaxon in the waiting room and all of the sudden we saw Jesse Permann's (one of Jeremy's good friends) sister walk by. It was so amazing to see her and Jesse's family! They were on the same floor and the same wing as us, isn't that weird?!? He was there for some appts. and we were hoping to catch up with him but hadn't even called him yet! It was great to see him and his family! We had lunch with them and I was able to meet his fiance, which was a lot of fun! We had an appt. with a G.I. Dr. too that day and we found out that Jaxon probably has Inflammatory Bowel Disease. We will find out for sure after a CT scan and some blood work, but that explains all the stomach problems he has been having since he was a baby. We will be able to start meds after the CT scan. which will be at the beginning of Feb. The trip back was so much better as far as roads went! It was a breeze! Jaxon slept almost the whole way home and was pretty sore the rest of the day and Wed. He went to school today(Thursday) and felt good, so we will see what the next few weeks will bring. I think that he will start to feel lots better in those bad spots now with the meds right into his knees and ankles!! We will go back Feb. 9th and 10th for quite a few appts. for Jaxon and Hayden. We are getting a second opinion on Hayden, which will be a huge help for me! So that is the sum up of Rochester with more to come later after our appts. in Feb. Thanks for all of your prayers!
