My Little Monkey

I think he is trying to escape.....

Exhausted

Hunter is always tired, his immunologist says that once he starts IVIG treatments his energy will be back, so hopefully that is true......well maybe I should be careful what I wish for heehee

A year of pictures: Day 1

Starting today I am going to take a photo of my boys playing, it will be fun looking back out how much they've grown.....

Peace and Quiet

Aren't they just angels....when they're sleeping

Updates

Well I haven't posted since Hunter started having health issues so I thought I would give everyone the basics to make sure we are all on the same page.

 February 2011 was the start of Hunter's Health Nightmare, we found ourselves in the ER with Hunter after had dropped to the floor with unbearable stomach pain he was admitted to the hospital because he had 5 intussusceptions (his small intestine was telescoping into itself). After ultrasounds, nuclear x-rays, specialists, poking and prodding the doctors found scar tissue and enlarged lymph nodes in and around his intestines. So we were told his intestines were underdeveloped and he started a trial medication.

We thought this trial medication was the answer to our prayers; everything the doctors had been testing for seemed to be something of the past. Well this was true until August came around and the other shoe in a sense dropped.

 After all the testing and retesting Hunter has been diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) in about a week and a half he will be starting IVIG which is a Plasma Infusion. He will have to have these treatments monthly at first in a hospital so he can be monitored closely, lasting anywhere between 3-5 hours. After a couple of months doing the IVIG treatments in the hospital we will be having a nurse come to the house and teaching me to give him the treatments at home. Doesn't that sound like a fun treat!!

 There is some hope though that he could possibly outgrow this condition sometimes children especially boys have an undeveloped immune system that can develop into a normal working immune system by age 6. So right now our immunologist is keeping him on this treatment until May to make sure he gets through the flu and cold season without being hospitalized and then taking him off of the plasma infusions for 3 months in the summer, making sure we monitor his surroundings and then retesting his immune system at the end of August and see what everything looks like then.

 But in the meantime we are just lifting my little man up to the great physician, and of course prayers are definitely appreciated.

Just a Little Note

Sorry it's been a little bit....or shall I say a couple years...between posts. I'll make sure everyone stays posted on the happenings in the Kingsbury Family :)

It's Pumpkin Time!

We went to pick out our pumpkins this past weekend at Sweet Harvest Farms in Milton, FL! We had a blast going through the corn maize, going for a tractor ride, and picking out the perfect pumpkin to decorate.

Hunter of course had to check out the tractor

Weekend Beaching

We went to the beach all day! Hunter had a blast! He rode on a jet ski for the first time... Momma rode on a jet ski for the first time too!

There they go....

Hunter was taking Daddy for a drive

Wow I can't believe how big he is getting! Last year at this time he wasn't even crawling... now he is riding a jet ski.

The past couple weeks

Well the past couple weeks have been eventful indeed! I am in my third trimester... help me Jesus! Hunter officially broke his head, yes he got a small fracture on the back of his skull by falling off of a chair. Matt and I have took the next step and were baptized on the Pensacola Beach... very renewing! And last but certainly not least Hunter started potty training!! Yahoo.

Labor Day 2009

Hunter loves the sand and the warm ocean water.... We had fun in the sun on Labor Day

Michigan Trip

The Weekend Trip to Michigan

Hunter was such a good boy in the car on the way there and back. In this picture he is trying to get my attention because there is something on his finger. He hates it when he has anything on his hands or feet, a little OCD if you ask me.

He got to spend some quality time with his cousins Paula and Makenna at the play gym in the Midland Mall! He had a blast....

Mama and Daddy got to go out on the town with some friends for some long overdue adult time, while the Grandma's take turns watching Hunter.

We stopped at White Castle on the way home... Hunter was amazed with the amount of food... 10 burgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks... and we ate them all.

This is Hunter the day after the trip passed out on the bathroom floor. I guess all the driving he did wore him out.

What a fun couple of days we had in Michigan!

August 27, 2009 cont.

Here are some belly photos taken at 24 weeks. I wasn't going to do this but Matt insisted....so I guess I will update by belly every month or so.

August 27, 2009

Besides the fact that today was a stormy Thursday and Hunter was feeling under the weather it was a great day. We got to confirm that Tanner was indeed a little boy.
