We have been taking it as easy as we can the last few weeks. Carson is getting better but very slowly. We are still using oxygen every night, it helps us get better sleep, because Carson's O2 saturation does drop down when he sleeps. We are still on breathing and shaker vest treatments 4 times a day. Carson had his last doses of antibiotics today...thank goodness because the diarrhea is getting pretty bad (we have been doing a lot of laundry). Carson is still very cruddy at times and needs suction a lot. He has been coughing up white mucus, we had a thought that it could be his formula, that is
fundoplycation was failing and he was refluxing and aspirating his formula. With doctors approval we did an experiment, we colored his formula for 24 hours a bright blue. So if he were refluxing and aspirating, his mucus would have been blue. Great news!!! his mucus stayed white, his
fundo is still in tact and no reflux!
We had family pictures taken yesterday at the Overland Park Arboretum. It was a bit chilly but all in all a beautiful day. The pictures will be back in a few weeks and will post them so you can see just how big our little boy is getting.
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers, please keep them coming, winter is only beginning. We are of course hoping for a very healthy winter and to stay out of the hospitals and doctors offices until spring (at the earliest).
Love the Bowman's
