Steph had a great GI checkup today. In six months she grew a little more than an inch and gained six pounds! Her bloodwork all came back strong, and we can even take her off the dreaded iron supplements. She'll continue to take Asacol (5/day), fish oil, and probiotics, and now she's going to start on folic acid too, which Dr. Israel says is good for intestinal health in general. She said most of her patients seem to have "one bad winter," so here's hoping we paid our dues last year and this winter will be smooth sailing. We don't have to go back for another six months!

Yup, happy dancing all around here. I always find that the very act of typing words like "good news from the doctor" helps put everything else in perspective, particularly when it's about one of the kids.
