I have figured out that Mason is always going to come up with strange things. He has been this way since he was born. It wasn't 7 hours after he was born the doctors were telling us that Mason has a rare eye condition....iris coloboma. We went through weeks of tests and follow up doctor appointments and by the grace of God everything is okay!!!! Then we went through sleepless nights, ears, and then he got MRSA....REALLY?!?!? We have survived them all and hope to continue on a great path. Last month Mason started throwing up his meals. We thought that he was gagging on crackers and the vanilla wafers that we were giving him. I went to Mason's 9 month check up, told his doctor and he thought he just had a sensitive gag reflex. Since then, he has started throwing up at least 2 meals a week (which I know is still not a lot) but with just his ordinary baby food. I took him back to the doc and he said that he wanted to run a stick and sip test on him. Nothing that is going to hurt him but he wants to see if the food is getting caught somewhere. The doctor doesn't seem to have much concern because in the 2 weeks we have seen him, Mason gained another 2 pounds!!!! He is such a joy and seeing him projectile vomit after his meals breaks my heart :(. We have started to only feed him when we are home because we don't want people to freak out when we are in public at a restaurant!!!!
Mason has been through a lot already in his first year and I know that if this is something, we will get through it. He is such a tough baby and I am so thankful for his strength. He must get it from his daddy, because this mommy worries about him like crazy. I thank God everyday for the family that I have and feel so very blessed.
