Winter:
We have had a pretty good winter. Carson has been on antibiotics a few times for colds and a UTI. We have stayed out of the hospital!!! (please knock on wood for us) Carson's seizures have been up and down, we have changed meds and have them pretty controlled right now. Tegratol has been gone for a long time. We tried to get him off Keppra as well but got down to 1/2 ml 3xday and had to increase back to 1 ml 3xday, much better than 5 ml 3xday! We have also decreased Phenobarbitol and increased Sabril. We are currently holding strong waiting for warm weather to stay!
Beginning of spring:
We plan to get Carson back in school after spring break when the weather will stay warm also when the majority of germs are gone. All of his teachers and therapists have been coming to the house this winter. We made it to Coco Key Water Resort (in Independence MO) last weekend for Julianna's birthday...we had a blast. Carson went down his first water slide on his cousin's lap! We also enjoyed the lazy river. Carson's current weight is 19.2 kg (42.25 lbs) and 37 inches long. Our big growing boy!
Diapers:
Carson outgrew disposable children's diapers a long time ago. We switched to cloth diapers around Thanksgiving and they have been working much better. Carson holds his bladder until the last minute, so when he goes it is fast and a lot, the cloth diapers hold all it needs too and are bigger than disposable. The diapers we have him in are called FuzziBunz, we do have to add extra inserts in them also. I wash his diapers once a day, much better than the floods we would have several times a day in disposables.
Schedule on side:
We have changed Carson's schedule a while back. With updates in formula, water, meds and timings! Check it out, we have quite busy days! Thank goodness for Carson's nurses. We currently have a nurse 6 days a week, 12 hours at a time. We are looking to fill our Sunday shift.
Baby:
Baby Cameryn Nicole is expected around March 23. She and I are doing great and growing big. I have been told we need to add pictures. I plan to get pictures of Carson and my belly, I will add them as soon as I take them.
I will get some new pics up soon and try to update sooner than 4 months from now.... Thanks for thinking of us and hope to see all soon!
