We cannot believe that it is already December, just last week it seemed like Halloween. How time flies.
Dana, our nutritionist came to visit the week before Thanksgiving. To our relief Carson had gained 11 ounces back (all that he had lost the month before) and had grown 1/2 inch!!! I can not tell you how happy I was to hear that. Needless to say, we are sticking with the formula...he needs all the extra calories he can get. (bring on the Thanksgiving feast)
Jeff and I are doing great. We get out as much as we can (in fact we went to my 10 year high school reunion on Sat night) and cherish every moment with our son. It was great to have 4 days off for the Thanksgiving holiday. Great family time together!
We took a trip to Iowa the weekend before Thanksgiving to meet Bailey, Rob and Arica's newest and to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Bowman's. We had a fabulous time and had our first snow of the season. On Sat it snowed about 1.5 inches.
Cousin Julianna was in town for the week of Thanksgiving and was able to spend two days at our house...what a help. And I know she and Carson enjoyed very much the time together!
For Thanksgiving day we went to Nana and Papa's house to have dinner with the Latshaw's. It was great to see everyone, but was a big day.
Part of our big day was that we had to take Carson to Children's Mercy for a follow up. On Wed Carson woke up with a 103.2 fever. Jeff took him to the pediatrician, there they ran a CBC on his blood and found his white blood cell count was 26 (pretty high). The Dr gave Carson a shot of meds and prescribed antibiotics, Jeff and Carson were then sent to Mercy for a chest x-ray to check for pneumonia. The follow up on Thurs was to make sure the white cell count went down...it did, back to 13 (normal range). We also learned that the chest x-ray was negative!!! What a relief. We have also increased his breathing treatments to 3 times a day. We go back to the pediatrician Tues for a follow up and his second flu shot.
Other than these outings, we pretty much keep Carson inside...the healthier he stays, the better!! I am sure I have forgotten to update you about something...but can not think of anything else at the moment.
We do miss everyone we do not get to see on a weekly basis, but especially Aunt Becky, she is now living in Florida enjoying the warm weather, and Cousin Julianna, who is living with her Dad in Newton, KS for this school year.
May God bless everyone!

Wonderful photos! Carson's teeth are coming in nicely, aren't they? That's great! I'm so thankful that he is gaining some weight, but I'm sadened to hear that he's been in the hospital yesterday and today. We are praying for each of you that the Lord's love, grace and mercy be showered upon you. Continue to seek the Lord for all your worries and concerns, happiness and praises!
Love, the Brodys
