one more cute thing...

i have a variety of songs that i sing to emerson. lately i have been singing "hush little baby" to him. at the end of the song he said, "mommy, me want my's billy goat right now." :)

update on christopher: out of hospital. on new drug treatments intended to put his crohn's in remission but with possible side effects. (no other option since his crohn's has become overly agressive and infected more than twice what was infected last year and is also robbing his body of nourishment.) on massive doses of vitamin supplements as there was no trace of vitamin d in his body and his bones were in a pre-osteoporosis state. i know... sounds awful. well, it is awful... but all in all we are optimistic. the doctor he has now is so wonderful and has brought in a bone specialist to join the team who is also helping him recover from severe malnourishment. it seems that he is in good hands. he is very happy with this doctor and it has built his confidence and hope. his spirits seem to have taken a turn for the better too. i feel much relief and hope in the present circumstances though there is still much need for prayer.
