Martha Speaks is a children's program on PBS. From Wikipedia:
Martha - the main protagonist, Martha is a talking dog that was born a stray and was put in the dog pound as a puppy. Martha gained the ability to talk after eating alphabet soup; the letters in the soup went to her brain instead of her stomach, which was an event that couldn't be repeated with another dog, but Martha has to continue eating it to retain her ability to speak.
Julia today: "Symba & Quincey should eat some alphabet soup and then they could talk. Could that work for real if they did that???"

I Love What You Do For Me...
...Toyota! Remember these old commercials? I was jumping for joy today after I spent a few hours fixing up my truck. It's turning 18 years old this year and still running like clockwork. Sure, all things wear out with age, but did you know it's been scientifically proven that cockroaches and the 22R-E engine will both survive a nuclear blast?
For a long time my check engine light has been on. I knew that it wasn't a big deal and that the worst thing that would probably happen if I didn't do anything about it was that I'd get poor gas mileage. Actually, I would have addressed it much sooner if I had known how it easy it was to read the diagnostic code. For cars that are 1996 and newer, AutoZone will hook it up to a device for free that tells you the code. That doesn't work for older models like my truck. Using the internet and a tip from the guy at AutoZone, I used a paperclip. That's right, a paperclip. By placing each end of the paperclip into the correct holes in the diagnostics, I completed the circuit and my check engine light started to flash in a pattern, spelling out the code.
My check engine light flashed seven times and then once, over and over again. That's check engine light code for the number 71. I was so impressed by the simplicity of the paperclip technique that I took a little video for you to see. I did a little research on the internet and all signs pointed to the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system. Without going into too much detail, some of the exhaust gas is pumped back into the engine to help lower emissions. This system is controlled by various valves, small hoses and tubes, and would explain why I was losing a little bit of power. I checked everything out and noticed that one of the hoses wasn't fully seated on one of the tubes. It was still connected, but not pushed in all the way. I pushed it back down and also removed the EGR valve from it's clips with my hands, and pulled off the rubber hoses. One guy said he cleaned this out and it fixed his problem. A few minutes later I had cleaned it all out and washed off the top filter with water (see first picture). I disconnected the battery to reset the light and it hasn't come back. I'm 20 miles into it and the light is staying off.
Cost to fix check engine light and learn how to read the diagnostic codes on my old truck: one paperclip.
The second problem I tackled just started happening this week. The first few times in happened it sounded pretty bad. When driving things would get pretty loud and my truck would vibrate significantly. I felt it most in the steering wheel. I feared the worst considering the age of my truck. After a few times it seemed to only happen when I had my foot on the gas. I started thinking through ways to eliminate possibilities - could it be my engine, or my shocks, or my tires that need replacing? The best test I came up with was to find a big hill, pop it in neutral, and coast down it. As I suspected, there were no vibrations when I coasted. That meant the wheels, tires, and suspension were not the problem. I looked at and revved the engine multiple times in neutral and everything sounded fine. I was fairly sure it had something to do with the drive train, since it only was happening when I was accelerating.
A few Google searches later I ran across a Toyota forum and a guy that had a T-100 that was doing the same thing. He had also made some similar modifications to his truck, so I was lucky to find the article. His problem was that one of the universal joints (u-joints) had broken and become loose. I hopped under my truck and was surprised to find the u-joint at the rear of the drive shaft, where it connects to the rear differential, was loose. All of the other u-joints were tight, but this one I could move with my hand. As I would accelerate, the power transfer from the engine to a loose spinning joint was probably causing my problem.
Even it this wasn't the problem, based on what I read and watched on YouTube, this needed to be fixed. Thankfully, the drive shaft and assembly can be removed by simply undoing four bolts. I pulled the thing out and then spent probably the next two hours trying to pry open the old u-joint. Over time, all of the dirt and grease and rust had kept the outside pretty tight while the inside of one end had disintegrated. Using a hammer, driver, and a lot of WD-40, I was eventually able to pry it off.
You can see what it looks like in the second picture right before I put the new piece together. The u-joint is the cross-shaped piece. It fits inside the holes and connects both pieces of the drive train. Each side is held in place by the caps (the old ones are off, the new ones are yellow and still connected to the new u-joint). These caps easily slide off the u-joint when not connected. They are the same size as the holes on the drive shaft though, so you have to lightly hammer them in from the outside to connect them back to the u-joint. On my model, the caps are held in place with c-clamps (in the second picture) from the inside. The c-clamps are wider then the hole opening, so when they are slid on the caps can't fall out and everything stays tightly together.
The third and fourth picture show what my truck looks like after taking off the drive shaft. The fifth picture is a closeup of the new u-joint installed and clamped, and the last picture shows it bolted back on to the truck. The last picture is a good visual of how when the engine and transmission spin the drive shaft, it transfers that power to the wheels to make them spin. After taking this last picture and verifying that everything was rock solid, I took it for a test drive. Lo and behold, the vibrations were gone. Not only that, by my truck seemed a little bit more responsive now that some power isn't being lost.
Cost to fix a seemingly very bad problem with my truck: $14.99 before tax.
After thinking about the old Toyota advertisement above, I've created my own version. It's a slightly different take on their slogan and definitely not a good marketing option, but it still makes a lot of sense. The way I see it, the slogan should be, "I love what you don't do to me, Toyota!"

Checkup
It's Sunday morning at 5 a.m. I was awakened a few minutes ago by the faint beeping of the feeding pump alarm through the baby monitor. This is just another reason why Stacey and I go to bed at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday nights. Going to bed early has been happening a lot lately, but that's just the way our bodies ensure we get our eight hours every night.
Sometimes I type up blog entries a few days after the date listed on the post, since I try to keep the date on the blog near or on the day the event actually happened. On Monday, Jonathan started showing signs of improvement from his allergic reaction. By the afternoon, he was back to his old self. By Tuesday, his appearance was almost completely back to normal as well. Thursday we had a good snow storm and two appointments. The main appointment was our follow up with Dr Waasdorp, our GI doctor. She wanted to see us sooner since Jonathan had not done well on the past two medications and then had an allergic reaction to the last. Nothing much happened at the other appointment, food therapy, except that Jonathan kept trying to hand the food back to the women working with him instead of eating it.
Nothing much came out of the appointment except some good information. We're going to try Bethanechol again, since shortly after we stopped using it, the rest of us got sick too. We're hoping that it was just that he got sick and not the medicine. This was my suggestion despite my skepticism. We're going to try him on it again for a week at a lower dose and see what happens.
Dr Waasdorp also agreed with the caloric approach of only giving him what he needs, which is somewhat contrary to the past GI doctor's approach. She also mentioned, that despite the variation among individuals, 100 cal/kg of body weight should easily be enough to see some growth. Since Jonathan's stomach is the bottleneck, her approach right now appears to be finding a medicine to help alleviate that problem. Other testing options mentioned were a cardiologist and an EKG, just to rule out any heart problems. That could be something that prevents growth and should be a fairly easy to run. He's been examined with a stethoscope, but sometimes problems can be missed. I don't think he's ever had his heart monitored except at birth.
Perhaps the best bet of news was that she's very confident Jonathan will grow out of this. Based on what she's seeing and how he's developing and acting in appointments, this doesn't seem like it's going to be a long term problem. I think in a lot of ways we're still just playing the waiting game, hoping that sooner or later he'll catch on to what he needs to do. He's still fairly young in that regard, but growing older and more aware every day.

It Ends Tonight
I've finally finished the crown molding project. The entire house is done. It only took me a year and a half to finish. Actually, it was probably more like a year since I took some time off.
Julia's room was the last to be painted. I did the initial (and most important) coat yesterday and gave it a smooth, final coat and touched up the walls today. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now that I'm done. I'm sure I'll find something...
We're coming up on five years since we bought this house. Although there will always be something to do, the major improvements are pretty much done. It's taken a full five years of steady work to get this place to where I wanted it to be. It's amazing how much we've done, inside and outside, if you stop and look around.
One thing to note is that my last brush strokes were done to the song, "It Ends Tonight" by the All-American Rejects. That's just what came on while my iPod was on shuffle. I can't think of a more fitting title.

Severe Allergic Reaction
Poor Jonathan...
We're probably going to have to go back to the doctor for a steroid injection to end this allergic reaction. The pictures from the previous post are nothing compared to what he looks like now. I'm not going to take any pictures because he looks pretty bad. Not only is he red like in the pictures below, but now he has welts all over his body. He looks like he's been stung by a thousand bees, and the welts that are all over his body look like mosquito bites and are some are larger then silver dollars. The past two mornings he's woken up very swollen, especially on his face. His face is so swollen that he looks Asian - his eyes are like slits. He doesn't even look like himself, that's how swollen his face is in the morning. It's not a pretty sight.
He is very uncomfortable and the hydrocortisone and benadryl help, but only temporarily. This poor kid looks like a train wreck. Actually, he looks more like he's just been in a huge brawl.

Hives Fives
Here are some pictures of Jonathan being a cheese ball despite the painful rashes from the erythromycin. He felt better without his clothes on, hence the "naked baby" pictures. I'm not sure if I've ever posted pictures of what his button looks like either...

Every Week It's Something
It took Jonathan about ten days to fully recover from his latest vomiting spell. We're not entirely sure if he caught another bug or if it was the new medication that he was on, since he seemed to be struggling before getting "sick" and because the rest of the family was sick shortly afterwards. I stayed home on Wednesday from work because of the flu. I guess it could be a combination of both. Either way the doctor and we decided to stop giving him medicine for reflux and emptying (bethanechol).
Jonathan was placed on the antibiotic erythromycin instead of bethanechol. Personally, I was excited about the new option. For a few days he seemed to be doing really well on it. He got over whatever was causing him to vomit and seemed to have a larger appetite, more then usual asking for snacks from the fridge and pantry. Today was like any other day, except that an hour or two after being given erythromycin this time Jonathan broke out in a bad rash all over his body. A quick Google search confirmed that a big rash all over the body is a severe reaction to the antibiotic. Additionally, every site said that if it is a reaction, to seek a doctor immediately. So, Stacey got him into see the pediatrician shortly thereafter. He agreed that it was probably an allergic reaction and that we should stop using erythromycin. Since this drug was our last option, we'll have to talk to the GI doctor to see if she would support trying out bethanechol again just to make sure the recent episode wasn't just due to getting the flu or something similar. The pediatrician also mentioned that if erythromycin seems to work and it is our only option, we could work with an Allergist to get him to a point where he could take it but not have a reaction to it.
Stacey also took Jonathan to see a Dietician this week. It was our first visit and what she told us made a lot of sense. Overall, she also encouraged us to push for growth (hormone and genetic) testing, since, in her opinion, something just doesn't seem to be adding up. Like I've been saying for awhile now, if Jonathan gets his daily requirement of calories he should be growing. Although we've had ups and downs, overall I think we've been giving him enough to where we should have seen more growth. Past goals have been to give Jonathan over 100% of what he needs, and we have found that difficult to maintain (not surprisingly). Even if we weren't hitting those goals we have been at least hitting the 100% goals with not much to show for it. She also mentioned that giving him too much (overshooting his requirements) could have an adverse affect on his system if it's being overloaded. That idea is consistent with what I've mentioned before about the cyclical nature of Jonathan's ability to keep food down. It could be as simple as after a certain point his body just needs a rest to deal with the overeating and that's why he rejects all food. We were also given a handout on a real-food smoothy through a G-tube study that looks very promising, but we're not starting that process just yet. The dietician wanted to wait and see what happened on erythromycin. We're going to take the approach over the next few weeks of only feeding Jonathan what his body needs (based on weight), and allowing him to snack on real food as he wants. Our hope is that this approach will eliminate the vomiting, establish a solid amount of time consistently getting his caloric requirements, so that we can either see him respond and gain weight or use this information to highlight the fact that something just isn't right.
We have our next visit scheduled with the GI doctor in a few weeks, unless she wants to see us sooner due to the recent developments. Our appointment with the Endocrinologist (growth issues) isn't scheduled until the first week of April, unfortunately. We've been trying to get in sooner, but his appointments are pretty well spoken for. My hope at this point is for things to calm down and to get back to what we call our abnormal normal.

Tottenham 5-0 Newcastle
We're almost two-thirds of the way through the season and Spurs are firmly in control of third place. A 5-0 beat down of Newcastle today kept pace with those above us and increased the gap to 10 points below us. Adebayor had four assists and one goal while newcomer Saha scored two in his home debut. Considering Harry's two-week trial ended earlier this week with a non-guilty verdict, the past few days have been good.
To be perfectly honest, the past five months have been amazing. Since September 1st, we've only lost twice in the Premier League. Although I don't expect to win the league for the first time in over 50 years, we still have an outside chance. We've been so good that Harry is probably going to be offered the England manager job in the near future. We've been nothing short of great since he took over, so I can't stand the thought of him leaving. It's probably inevitable though.
We face a tough test in our next few league games. However, after that things open up a bit and there is a possibility we could make a run for glory at the end of the season. Right now I'm just enjoying success and hoping we can build on it for the future. It's a far cry from where we were almost 5 years ago when I started supporting Tottenham.

Dancing King
Jonathan has some pretty sweet moves. Although this video doesn't showcase them, in the past he's shown me that he can move to the beat pretty well. He obviously likes music (as all kids seem to), but I'm sensing that it strikes a "chord" with him more then the average toddler. He's always up for listening to music and dancing.
In the past we've associated making a clicking sound with our mouth with music. He's been able to make that sound for at least six months now, and during sections of this video you can hear him "beat-boxing" to the music. He and Julia really enjoy the opening scene and music for GT5 on my PS3, and playing it for them makes me feel in some way like I actually still have time for things like this in my life (yeah right).
I've really enjoyed watching this video over the past few days. It reminds me of the good days when everything is going well with him. Since this video was taken on Sunday afternoon, Jonathan hasn't been able to keep much food down. Because of that he's been pretty lethargic. We never know if he caught something that is going around, ate something he shouldn't have, or if his system needs a rest. We think this time it's because we started him on new meds.

Spanglesh
Julia can count to ten in Spanish...she's been doing it often since she learned it in preschool. The funniest part comes in the middle, specifically at number four:
"Uno dos tres - squatro cinco seis - siete ocho nueve diez"
