More Teeth

Carson got in a top side tooth last week.  One of his front top teeth came in.  Two more are waiting to pop through.  He was miserable all weekend.

Daycare Photos

Here are some pics of Carson that were taken at daycare over the last week. The last few are from this morning.  She couldn’t resist taking the pictures of him standing on the chair because she just couldn’t believe he was doing it! He had this look on his face of, aha I know I can do this and I am before she notices me doing it! 

Walking Wonder

Grandma and Grandpa Strader got Carson a walker this weekend.  He loves it.  He even maneuvered it around the kitchen table.  The dogs got mad when he rammed their food bowls and moved them about two feet.

Carson is able to pull up on just about anything.  We again had to lower his bed a notch.  We also put on the "chew" guards on the railings to help keep Chris's beautiful crib looking nice!

Crawling Maniac

Carson is cruising all over the house now.  He has found the doorstoppers and thinks it's pretty cool to whack them.  Luckily, the dogs don't mind :)  They do mind that Carson tries to get into their food and water bowls.  We put up a child gate on Saturday and the dogs didn't realize that they could go around it.  They just sat behind it whimpering.  Maybe they'll eventually learn to go around the other way....or maybe not.

Little dude is pulling up on everything!  He discovered that he can know climb into his bouncy chair.  We really have to watch him because he tries to stand in it too.  He also seems to be putting on more weight.  You can see more fat rolls popping up.

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!
