Deagan Update

We took Deagan in today for yet another follow-up apt. He now weighs 20# 2 oz!!!! And shows no signs of stopping, at least until he starts walking/crawling. CRAZY.

The doctor was happy with his lung sound and the wheeze is all but gone. He only gets breathing treatments a few times a week now, mostly before bed.

However, he still has his double ear infection!!! (a month later). So in attempts of a last ditch effort, she put him on a three week antibiotic. And then we'll go back in. If it's not gone by then, we will discuss the possibility of putting tubes in his ears.

She thinks that it might be due to his bad reflux. And that the fluid and mucus pools in his throat and then drains into his ears and stays there. So it might not be 'true' ear infections, just fluid behind the ear. Who knows!

The good thing is that he doesn't seem to notice, nor does he care. He doesn't cry or tug at them. He also got his shots today and took them like a champ:)

It's great weather here and should be all weekend! We hope to get out on a little nature hike with the kiddos....hope you all have a great weekend!
