Thank You

I want to take some time to say thank you and shine some light on something very important - you.

 Now I don't think I could ever be able to clearly and completely get people to understand how much it means to me to have so much emotional support. It has been incredibly amazing the love that has been shown to Lucas, Jeff and I as we have started this adventure that is our new life. 

 By talking to friends, family, friends of friends, family of friends, friends of family and so on and so forth, I have discovered so many people that are willing to listen, to share their stories or struggles and to lend support in any way - big or small. It has nothing to do with a grand gesture, it honestly could be a simple like on a Facebook post or a comment about this blog. It is, to me, a show of support.

 Thank you.

 Thank you for reading about Luke's PKU and to those who have offered support as I get my feet under me in this amazing thing called Motherhood. I cannot express how much it means to know that if I am faltering, doubting, scared or just need to talk, that there are SO many wonderful people in my life to talk to.

 We are blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives and I want to say again, Thank You.

Toughest Kid Around

Today was such a busy but great day for the three of us. Luke, Jeff and I headed to the Stollery at 9am to meet with his metabolic team.  The appointment  The dietitians always start things off with weighing and measuring Luke to see how well he is growing and if you have been following the blog you may know Luke has kinda been a bit light on the scale. However today we were happy to find out he is doing really well both height and weight wise! He is in the 50th percentile for both!! Then we talked about his diet some, touched on his formula intake and got the green light to try him with a new juice type formula (which will be good for summer holidays) Then in came Dr. S, she is his pediatrician/metabolic doctor. I love this lady! She is great at offering guidance and suggestions that will make things easier for us as he gets older, things like having him help us make his formula, help us weigh and measure his foods, those sorts of things. The exci...

Formula Strike

I think I have mentioned before that a HUGE  part of Luke's diet & phe management is his formula. It is like a PKU "protein shake" in that it has all the parts of protein that he needs but that he misses out on with his restricted diet. He has a set amount of formula that he must  drink in a day and if he goes a little over on drinking extra then that is alright. It has zero phe in it so will not cause him to be over his phe intake, in fact it will help him feel more full if he has eaten his days worth of phe and needs a bit more to fill his belly. When we switched over from the infant formula to the new, more age-appropriate, formula I worried so much about Luke rejecting the new one. I have read so many posts on the Facebook group about kids refusing to switch over, of parents stressing as their kids went days without drinking any formula and I was so worried. It's a big fear of mine for Luke to stop drinking his formula. Another situation I read a lot about ...

Food Centered Holidays & PKU

As another "food centered" holiday approaches I can already feel my mind racing. Trying to think of ways to make Luke feel like he has choices at dinners and that he can feel included in all the Easter goodies. Chocolate is high phe, so I will be going to Micheals this weekend to get some chocolate molds to fill with his low-phe chocolate, I will bring some to dinners and some will be for his Easter basket. I am also going to try my hand at his special buns - he is a carbohydrate lover like his Mommy so I know that I will likely have success having him eat those.  I don't want to make it sound like we don't have marvelous families because we do! Our families understand, they always help us include Luke friendly foods and want to make the holidays special for him. We are truly blessed to both have supportive parents and siblings AND extended family who love to shower Luke with love & fun!  Luke is not trusting when it comes to food, this makes him VERY reluct...
