Feeling Better

So Carson has been on an antibiotic for a few days.  The cough has really gone down.  No throwing up with coughs.  Although Chris did get "chucked" on last night after a large burp :) 

I don't really understand how it's possible....Carson was averaging about 28 oz of formula a day in 5 feeds (every 4 hours).  They made us add an additional feed, and now he's up to 30ish oz of formula a day in 6 feeds (every 3 hours).  Doesn't make sense to me, but as long as he's eating, he's got to be gaining, right?

Throwing Up

Carson has been coughing so hard lately that it makes him throw up :(  The pulmonologist put him on an antibiotic today and we'll see if that helps with the cough.  Poor little guy.  He also just got his 6-month shots, so it's been a rough week for the little guy!

Crawling?

Yesterday, Carson got up on all fours and rocked.  Then last night, he actually moved.  Okay, so it might have been an inch, but still that counts right?  I might be lucky to see him crawl for "real" before I go back to school.

July CF Clinic

Today we went in for our clinic--at UNMC (long story).  Carson weighed 14 lbs. 8 oz.  I was really happy with that, but they nutritionist there (never had her before) wasn't as excited.  That was an average weight gain of 18 grams a day and he should be around 25-30 grams a day.  We will be preparing his formula a bit differently to add more calories.  Also adding another feeding, so 6 a day now.  Hoping they like his numbers better next month.

Sitting Up

So I was holding the little nugget today and let go of him.  He stayed up....for a long time!

Man in the Mirror

So we took Carson into the doctor today since he had a fever on and off all week.  He started pulling on his ear and starting coughing more yesterday.  He has fluid in his ear and his getting over a virus.  On a happy note, Carson had a great time waiting for the PA to come in and was spinning around on the table.  Then he decided to check out the cute baby in the mirror.  He also is up to a nice 13 lbs. 8 oz!  Up one full pound in two weeks.

Teeth

Yesterday, Carson cut his two bottom teeth.  No symptoms before they popped up.  He really wasn't hungry yesterday  and got fussy about it last night.  Carson is really in good spirits!
