Happy Half Birthday Carson...2 1/2!!!

Carson is getting to be such a big boy. I can not believe he is 2 1/2 already. We have been talking about getting him in school...when he turns three he will be transitioned from our at home therapies to the school district. I am both excited and scared about this! I know it will be great for him, but I don't want him to leave...

Our tonsil and adenoid ectomy was much more of a success then we had thought possible. He is off oxygen at night completely. We are still keeping track of his numbers and so far he has not dropped below 91% O2 saturation's at night. This is an amazing feet! We are so proud and excited that the surgery helped so much!

Carson just keeps growing and growing. He was just over 35 pounds when we in for surgery. So when we in the hospital after surgery, the dietitian reduced his feeding by 10%. So he was getting 160 mL 5 times a day, reduced to 150 mL 5 times a day. We just recently had to reduce his feedings again. We reduced him to 140 mL 5 times a day. Because he had gained another pound in one week. Carson now weighs 37.2 pounds and is 35 inches long. What a big boy. As we have been reducing his formula feedings we have also been increasing his water intake...we do not want him to get dehydrated.

With all of this growing, Carson has had more seizures...it make sense though, he has out grown his previous medicine dosing. The end of last week we increased his Phenobarbital, Carson is still getting used to the increased amount and sleeps most of the time. However during his awake times he has less seizures, big and small ones!

All is well and we are looking forward to getting out of this winter time and into spring time so we can get outside. Jeff and I are also well, we are very happy with Carson's progress and excited for what is to come in the future. We have been making Friday nights our family dinner and movie nights, we make dinner and eat it on the couch with a movie. Carson also enjoys these movie nights, he gets lots of snuggling!!
