"Hey, guess what. Asher's back home! He was hospitalized for Failure to Thrive on Wednesday. He was losing weight and of course his eczema was driving him crazy. The doctors did well. They think he has trouble digesting milk protein and thus was losing weight and it also contributed to his skin issues. So they have him eating a special formula and it's working well. He gained about a pound and a half in the hospital and his skin is looking so much better."

Asher sleeping or praying...but the rash on his body is WAY better than it's been in a LONG time!!! Thankfully, he's home now and we get to see them this weekend!!!

So glad he's home and on his way to KS! What a relief to finally know what was wrong. We went through that with my middle son (who still has failure to thrive). When Logan was 6 months old, he flatlined and started to decrease in weight until he was a year old and weighed about 12 pounds! Right now, he's still off the charts, but will be 5 soon and weighs 27 pounds! He also has a TON of allergies that was affecting his digestive system horribly, so it was a relief to figure it out and get on the right track. It will get easier for Tyler and his wife to figure out what specific things Asher can and can't have. Its overwhelming at first though! :) We'll keep praying for them!
We have been praying for Asher - so glad to read this update. Will they get to come for Christmas?
Poor thing! So glad to hear he's doing better! My nephew was able to come home from NICU today also, but I don't know when I'll ever get to see him!!
