Post Endoscopy

Asher isn't feeling well. He's whiny and barely eating. Everything bothers him and he is complaining about aches and pains everywhere. I remember him being similar to this after the last endoscopy too and being very nervous about it. This just isn't Asher.

In the meantime, bananas have been added to Asher's diet. Several weeks ago, Asher begged me to have a banana. Now, he's really more excited about the idea of eating a banana rather than actually eating them. He has been eating them, just not with the gusto that you would expect. Truthfully, he's not eating much of anything right now. He just doesn't feel well.

We've made him banana ice cream (put a frozen banana in a food processor until it becomes the consistency of soft ice-cream. It's really delicious!), dehydrated bananas, fried bananas, and, of course, plain banana.

Meanwhile, Asher is having a blast with the bug vacuum. He's forgotten all about using it as a gun and instead is completely obsessed with using it for its intended purpose: to suck up bugs. We've captured all sorts of bugs - baby grasshoppers, ants, roley poleys, june bugs - to name a few. We even made a habitat for the roley poleys and have kept them on the kitchen table. They're fun to watch.

Asher even took the bug vacuum to school with him for show and tell. He was so excited about it and showed it to his teachers who both looked at each other, looked at me and said in unison, "we're really glad you have a daughter too." Knowling Leila, though, she'll probably be just as into bugs and bug vacuums as are the boys.

Meanwhile, we await the results of the endoscopy.
