  1. Ethan's GI appointment today 8/4/14

    Dr. said he was doing good. He lost 3 pounds so he is changing his formula. He is getting 93% of what he needed with the old formula but Dr. doesn't think his body is absorbing the nutrition. We are giving him enough so didn't increase the new formula. He is very tall, almost off the top of the charge (maybe 98%). But his age and height put his weight almost off the chart on the low end. The Dr. didn't like that. He has been constipated so we have to use the miralax for a week and then as ...

  2. Ethan 07/31/14 Kindergarten

    I haven't posted in quite a while. Ethan enjoyed preschool and had a little graduation ceremony in May. He has had a great summer. We haven't done all we wanted to as I have had vestibular neuronitis. It starts out with an intense vertigo; when that stops your balance is affected and everything appears to shake (because there is some nystagmus in the eyes), you feel like a magnet is pulling you in different directions and there is a floaty feeling in your head. It is very hard to explain. But, ...

  3. Ethan 10/27/13

    Ethan is doing very well. We just celebrated his
    5th birthday! Wow! Time is going by so fast. Ethan had the croup in August and caught a cold in September. He got sick again in October and missed some days of preschool. We believe he had RSV. The doctor didn't test him but he had a fever, stuffy nose, chest congestion and generally just didn't feel good. Taking lots of naps and all (normally doesn't take naps). My 2 year old niece had the same symptoms and when her doctor tested ...

  4. Ethan and Pre-school 9/2/13

    Ethan is doing great. After 2 1/2 weeks at preschool he came down with the croup. He woke up barking Friday morning. The doctor gave him antibiotics for a sinus infection and prednisone for the croup inflammation. They took an x-ray to make sure he didn't aspirate. He still has a big space under his right lung. He seemed better Saturday but is coughing more today and his nose is stuffy. He had a great therapy Thursday. He ate 12 baby spoons of apple sauce. It's not that much, but it's ...

  5. 8/17/13 1st week of Pre-k

    Ethan's first week of pre-k went great. Ethan was nervous on the first day and even cried a little Tuesday morning. But by the end of the week; all he could talk about was going on the playground. Thursday and Friday it rained cats and dogs (it is continuing today) and they didn't get to go on the playground. Ethan was disappointed about that but had a great week anyway. He even drank a cup of whole milk one day. Yay, Ethan. He just had to have a straw and his teacher was kind enough to ...
