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!

June CF Clinic and Solids

Yesterday we had our monthly CF visit.  Carson was up to 12 lbs. 12 oz.  It was only 14 oz. more than a month ago.  It really bummed me out.  After thinking about it, I realized that we switched his enzymes to a different brand which could make a big difference.  He also hadn't been eating a ton the few days before our appointment. 

Today Carson started on solid foods!  He has been drinking like a champ and so he got his first "real" (not applesauce) food--squash.  It smells nasty!  Carson took his first bite and stared at me like "Hey, this isn't applesauce."  He ate about a teaspoon for his first feed and about another 1/2 teaspoon with his next bottle.  We'll try squash again tomorrow.

Pool Party

We got a little pool from my parents this past Friday.  Carson has been out in it twice.  The first time sitting in the bumbo chair and on Saturday sitting with mommy's help.  He loved it.  He got to splash and play more when he was really in the water.

Chase

On Thursday, Chase's headstone and vase were finally installed.  They both look really great.  It's so nice to finally have them in.  It looked really sad with the temporary marker.

20% Percentile

Carson had his official 4-month check-up today.  He is now up to 12 lbs. 3 oz. and is at the 20% in weight with an adjusted age!  His doctor was very impressed with his weight and developmental skills.

May CF Visit

This month's CF clinic visit was awesome.  Carson is now 11 lbs. 14 oz.  The next weight goal for him will be 12 lbs.  We should hopefully hit that next week!  Next week will be a busy one for Carson.  He goes in for his 4 month check-up, which means shots.  He will have a couple of days to recover before heading back up to Omaha to get started on a hypertonic saline trial.

First ER Visit

We took Carson into the ER early Saturday morning.  He was having trouble breathing.  All of his stats were good.  He had one spot on his lungs (which can be typical for a CFer).  They had to diagnose it as something, so they called it bronchitis, although it probably wasn't.  The next two days we went into the pediatrician to  make sure that he was okay and all was good.  We are thinking that it might have been some sticky mucus stuck where we couldn't suck it out.  Carson is quite happy and a healthy 11 pounds!
