August CF Clinic

Yesterday was our monthly CF visit.  Carson was back up to 15 lbs. 6 oz.  He lost quite a few ounces when he got sick, so it was good to see him back at what he had been before getting sick.  The doctor also started him on an antibiotic because of his viral infection.  This will either get rid of a secondary infection he might have or get.

Carson is crawling like a mad man.  He will chase the dogs around.  He also likes to start pulling himself up on things.  His favorite is standing on the back of the loveseat looking out the window.  I can say that we have been throw up free for about a week now!

Best Daycare Provider Ever

I absolutely love Ellen, our daycare gal.  She rocks!  She is so understanding of the issues that Carson has been dealing with: throwing up, weight gain, CF.  Her daughter went through many of the same things.  Carson has now developed a cough (as have I), so Ellen agreed to do an extra Albuterol treatment and chest physiotherapy during the day. 

Carson has clinic on Thursday, so we'll see where he's at.  I know that he lost a bit of weight when he started to get sick and kept throwing up.  He's been eating like a champ since his fever broke.  Hoping he's made up for what he lost--fingers crossed.

My students return to school tomorrow---yippee!  It will be quite different since I haven't taught in 7 months!  I hope I don't bring home a lot of germs to Carson.  Hand sanitizer will be my best friend.

Sick

Carson got sent home from daycare yesterday.  He was throwing up and had a fever.  I took him in and he doesn't have strep, but a viral fever.  It was as high as 103.5 early this morning and has been up and down all day long.  Carson has done a lot of sleeping.  We continue to try to feed him and give him Pedialyte, which he hates.  You can just tell that he's not feeling well.

This video is from the day before he got sick.  He loves his bathtime!

First Day of Daycare

Carson started his full-time daycare yesterday.  He rocked!  He ate well, napped well, and was a super happy guy.  He loved being around other kids.  Sadly, he didn't even notice me when I got there to pick him up because he was having such a good time!

Box of Fun

I bought a box/crate to put Carson's toys in.  I tipped it on its side so Carson could pick out a toy to play with.  He loved it!  I even found him with his head all the way in it!  If you look at the picture series, I took them all in about a minute.  He got all of those toys out.  Crazy boy!

Crawling!

Okay, today it happened...Carson crawled.  A few steps, but he did.  At least it happened before I went back to school, barely :)  He's up to 15 lbs. and 5 oz.

Crazy Guy

Carson loves to play.  He can now get on all fours.  He doesn't crawl, but still scoots around.  Carson can also now get on his toes like a bear crawl position.  Doesn't go anywhere and usually tips over.
