I guess it's been a long time since I've updated on here. Well a lot is going on. As far as weight loss. Nothing worked. I'm praying I can get insurance soon so I can go to the dr. and find out why I'm not losing weight.
As far as Malakhi goes we went through a lot of testing to find out why he was not growing. He had blood work and xrays done and it all came back normal. About a week after we had all the testing done he grew 2 or 3 inches and gained 3lbs. I was very impressed. I felt bad for making him go through all that testing but God worked a miracle and he's just fine.
Now we are here with Mateo. He is starting evaluations for possible high functioning autism. He has delayed speech and regressed speech. There are several words he used to say like "nigh-nigh" "bye-bye" "out" and "poo-poo." He does however say other words. He says "Papa" "ball" "aqua" "cheese" "cookie" oh and I cant forget he tries to say "toy story." He has been throwing huge temper tantrums and yesterday had a complete meltdown when Malakhi and I were singing to a certain song. He started holding his ears, rocking, banging his head, screaming, and hitting me until we stopped. It was so strange. I've never seen him do that before. I tried it again later and he did the same thing. He also has poor eye contact. Then I look at him with other kids and it seems like most of the time he's playing with them so I really don't know what to think. I'm waiting for IRC to call me back for our first evaluation appt. We shall see.
Lonnie and i started a new business and we are praying it takes off soon. I'm supposed to be starting back to work this week to get some extra money but so far I've been called off everyday. Yes I am happy I get to stay home with my boys but we are also counting on this money. I just hope and pray that the business takes off so I can be home full time again.
My mom has passed the first process of a transplant. She passed the Kaiser screening and is moving on to the National Transplant Committee. Now we are praying things move along quickly.
I guess that's all for now from the Pando family.
