Go Team Go!

Our final total is in for the CF walk.  We raised......$2,144!  Awesome job everyone!  That day was such a beautiful day for a walk.  It was also great to see all of our friends and family come out to support this cause.

May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month

May, the time of flowers blooming and the temperature rising, means only one thing--Cystic Fibrosis Awareness month!  This month, our family and friends will be participating in the annual Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis.  Anyone is welcome to attend with us.  We are working towards a goal of raising $5,000.  All proceeds will go the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  The foundation funds medical research and other projects.  Without them, CF wouldn't be working towards a cure.  Please donate to help us make CF stand for "Cure Found."

You can donate online at:

If you go to this website and take the quiz, they will donate $5 for each completed quiz to a CF related charity.

Allergic Reaction

On the Saturday right before Easter, Carson developed hives on his arms and legs.  On Easter morning, they were everywhere.  He didn't seem to be in pain, and they didn't itch either.  We discovered that he had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic that he was on.  This was the fourth time he had been on it.  On Monday, I took him in to the doctor and he was put on steroids.  He was running a fever of 102 degrees and his hands and eyes were swelling. By the time I picked Carson up from daycare on Monday night, he looked a million times better.  They are completely gone as of yesterday and the steroids are done today.

Easter

Carson spent a good part of the day in the jumparoo.  Here the cousins are all jumping with Carson.

Family Photo

So this picture is from the NICU reunion many, many months ago.  Somebody was awfully grumpy in this photo...

Weekend Wedding

Last week was Chris's sister Brittany's wedding.  Carson didn't like being off of his schedule, but he did enjoy the music at the reception.  His favorite part was the flashing lights that he tried to stomp on.  What he didn't like, the crazy kid that kept coming up to him to tag and kiss him.  Strange.  He was also the only one out dancing with a blankie!

Ear Infection free!

Carson dealt with a nasty ear infection for the past two weeks or so.  He was given the "all clear" on Wednesday!  He was a hefty 21 lbs. 12 oz and 30 inches long.  Although he's still smaller, his height to weight ratio is 48% and his doctors want him to be 50% or greater--so that rocks!
