Update

Jack is getting another cold. That is typical for him this time of year. October was a bad month for Jack. He had bronchitis and the flu. Thank God we never ended up in the hospital. We have started his asthma treatments every four hours. We have his breathing medication and an antibiotic refill on hand. We try like with everything with Jack to stay ahead of the game. That is not always easy to do.

Jack has been dealing with his stomach issues a lot lately. He is sensitive to smells again. He seems to be back to the daily dry heaving and throwing up. He has an appointment this week with his specialist here. I need to talk more about Jacks weight and sugar. Jack appears very bloated to me. He is not eating much and I am on top of his diet. He still seems to be gaining or bloating. I know his sugars still runs high at times. It is frustrating because with a lot of Jacks issues we just need to watch and see. We have to try to prevent things from happening and control what we can. It is when we cant control something, that we deal with the hospital or consequences. I guess that is the fear I have to deal with each day. I have to fight that fear as a parent and give it to God.

Jack's spirit as always is great. School is kicking his little butt. Academically he is doing well. He has had to deal with social issues and being different. He never wants to say when he is in pain. He has been dealing with it on a more regular bases lately. His arms have really been a new area of added pain.

Please keep Jack in your prayers this winter. All the prayers is what keep Jack and the family going.
