Update

Sorry it's taken me so long to update our blog!  I'm going to attempt to catch up on the last month. Ato T ended up spending  a week in the hospital, after refusing to eat for 5 days.  They placed a feeding tube, and he had lost 4.5 pounds by the time the placed it.  Below is a photos that shows just how skinny he got.  But I'm happy to report he is doing much better now, he is eating MORE than he was before all of this, and we have decreased his tube feeds to once a day. 

Spending a day with mom and Ato T at the hospital.
 Waking up after surgery is not a lot of fun.
 Back home, still not terribly happy, but on the mend!
We felt incredibly blessed to have the support of friends the week Ato T was in the hospital.  Our home school group set up meals for us and a couple friends offered to take the kids if we needed them to.  It was such a blessing!  We are thankful that Mike's job is so flexible.  He was able to take some time away from the office and either work from home or the hospital, and the big girls came to spend one day at the hospital with mom and Ato T while dad went to work, and we had a babysitter for Little Miss.  (During RSV season, children under 5 are not allowed on the hospital floor.)  Our church was also incredibly supportive during this time.  We are blessed!
