Stuffed silly
Why did I eat so much at dinner? why why why? Boy has only vomited twice so far today. We took a walk in the park in the sunshine. It was great. I love not living in the freezing cold…
the news that is

Boy update
All the endoscopy tests came back negative. No Celiac, no lactose intolerance, no bacteria issues, no allergies, and I forget what else was tested for. Also no parasites. The doc is trying him on a medicine that helps with pediatric…
