Happy almost August!!

Hello All-

Carson is doing well, he got over his cold/allergies. After his extra secretions were gone he had a slight asthma attack and needed some prednisone to get over it. All is great.

Carson has been gaining one pound every two weeks for the last two months. With a little twisting of Carson's Doctors' arms, they prescribed Lasix for one week. This was going to tell us if his weight gain was from water retention or too many calories. With in the one week of being on the diuretic, Carson lost a few ounces as well as cm from his feet and ankles! It was working, so he is now on Lasix twice a day. We will see were we go from here.

We are also getting ready for school, yes that is right, school. Carson will be going to Harmony Early Childhood Center starting in the middle of August. As Carson is getting close to becoming 3 his current therapy services he will age out off, they stop at 3 years old. Carson will be in a classroom with other kids and will get all of his therapies at school. His nurse, David, from here at home, will go with him to take care of him. They will go on the bus to and from school, hours are Mon thru Thurs, 820 to 1120. We feel we owe Carson and the school district the chance to see if this works for all parties. If it does not, the therapists from the school will come to the home to work with him. I am very nervous about letting Carson out of the house and sending him to school, but we have to give him a chance....

We will be updating this blog again this week with Carson's birthday party details!!! FYI Sat, August 14 at 500 pm. More to come.

Happy Fourth of July!

We had a great weekend. The Bowman's were in town and we all went to the T-bones baseball game on Saturday night and had a blast. Carson was very awake with his eyes wide open, he also loved the fireworks are the end. What a great outing, it was well worth it. Although now we are paying for it, Carson is very cruddy and wheezing. On Sunday night we did some sparklers in the back yard until the rain finally pushed us inside.

Carson has been good the last month, holding is own, he has been back on top of the roller coaster. We hope to get over this cold/allergies soon and be back on top.

Enjoy the pictures and videos.
