AUSTIN WANTED TO BE LIKE HIS BROTHER!


WELL, WE WERE BACK IN CHILDREN'S E.R. ON TUESDAY NIGHT WITH AUSTIN THIS TIME! HE WAS WHEEZING ALL DAY TUESDAY, BUT GOT WORSE THAT NIGHT AND MI MI SAID WE SHOULD GO TO THE E.R. SHE WAS OFF THAT NIGHT, BUT SHE WENT WITH ME THANK GOODNESS! AS SOON AS WE GOT THERE THEY STARTED A BREATHING TREATMENT ON HIM AND HE ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE AND SOME STEROIDS TO GET HIM CLEARED UP! HE DID SO GOOD WITH THE FIRST TREATMENT, BUT BY THE TIME HE FINISHED THE SECOND ONE HE HAD HAD ENOUGH! THANK YOU TO THE WONDERFUL NURSES AND DOCTORS FOR TAKING CARE OF MY SWEET BOY AND GETTING US IN AND OUT OF THE E.R. SO FAST!

HE ALSO HAD A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT WITH THE GI DOCTOR YESTERDAY TO SEE HOW HIS REFLUX MEDICINE IS DOING AND IF HE'S STILL GAINING WEIGHT! WELL, HE DID GAIN, BUT IT WAS ONLY 4 OZ! HE WEIGHS 21 LBS 12 OZ NOW! DR. MESTR CHANGED HIS MEDICINE AGAIN AND WE HAVE STARTED HIM ON PEDISURE. IT HAS MORE CALLORIES THAN MILK, SO HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP GET SOME FAT ON THIS BOY! I WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT HIM BEING SO LITTLE AND NOT GAINING WEIGHT LIKE HIS BROTHER DOES! WE GO BACK IN 4 WEEKS FOR ANOTHER RE-CHECK AND HOPEFULLY HE WILL GAIN ALITTLE MORE WEIGHT THIS TIME!

Sweet baby! Bless his heart. Hal has acid reflux like crazy too. He throws up more than any kid I've ever seen. He was on Zantac for quite a while, but he doesn't take it anymore. I think that the reflux wakes him up at night.
