Endoscopy

Tomorrow is Harrison's endoscopy. He's doing very well on his gluten free diet - loves his new cereal, and his special home made bread. I'm providing muffins and bread to Renee at daycare, and she is doing a great job catering for his needs and making sure he has something similar to the other kids for meals and snacks as much as possible. He seems to have accepted that babycinos no longer come with marshmallows (but I have to check if I need to request no chocolate sprinkles as well), and we carry GF mini muffins and rice crackers with us everywhere now. After a bit of reluctance he now eats "super" rice crackers (rice cakes). And he is making progress with his vegie intake too.

We went to the park at Jackadder Lake yesterday afternoon for the first time in a few weeks. Last time I took him to that park he clung to me, wouldn't go on the swings or slides, didn't want to go for a walk to look at the ducks, or even just sit on the grass with me. He just wanted to go home. It was heartbreaking, and at that stage we didn't have any idea what was wrong with him. Yesterday he was into everything, dribbling the soccer ball, wanting to climb on rocks, trip trapping across bridges, having fun on the slides, he fed us an imaginary picnic, and had to be dragged away from the playground at dinner time. It's such a relief to see him behaving like a healthy little toddler.
