St. Louis visit

Well, we had a jam packed visit to St. Louis! We got there just in time for Addy's GI appointment that we just got on Monday :) The GI is the one we've seen before and she even called in the other GI we've seen before too. They agree that something isn't right, however, it could still be a virus. However, they want to rule things out just to be safe. They took some blood and did an abdominal x-ray. I had to drop off another stool sample yesterday before we left.  Addy could possibly have a blockage which lets the loose stool pass. They mentioned Hirschsprungs Disease but don't really think that's what it is but if the blood work and x-ray and stool don't show anything then they will do another upper GI and rectal biopsy. So now I'm just waiting for the phone call to see if any more tests need to be run.

Tuesday night we went to the Cardinals game to celebrate my nephews graduation :) We had a great time, Cooper was in hog heaven, we were in a skybox so he could eat all he wanted! He was cracking us up! He acted like we'd never fed him before! Addy was super tired and was having a hard time dealing with a lot of the noise :( poor baby! Jake decided to start this nasty cough that hasn't even budged so we are heading out to the doc in a few.

On Wednesday we went to the zoo and loved it! Our zoo that's close isn't that great so it was so nice to see things that we don't see here! Naturally Addy's favorites were the chimps! One kept giving Jake a high five through the glass :) It took a lot of coaxing to get her away from those monkeys!!! She was also very impressed with the penguins! One jumped and splashed right in front of her and she was cracking up! It was so cute!! She was also amazed with a peacock that she wanted to play with so badly! She touched his back and spooked him, it was so funny! Jake was so concerned he was going to peck her! Fortunately, we were right there and she was fine!

 Tickling the chimp's toes :)

Poor girl was soo tired after the zoo, lunch, and a trip to Ted Drewe's that by the time we got to John's graduation she was DONE! We made it through and then she was so overtired she wouldn't go to sleep in the car! Addy LOVES John and he is pretty smitten with her :) We finally put on Signing Time and she was singing away then finally zonked out! It was a nice little getaway, just missed our big girl! Jarika did call to let me know that she got 4 As and 1 B this semester! We are sooo proud of her! She's doing so great, we couldn't be happier for her!!!
