Caiden is visiting with grandma and grandpa for a few days. We had just come back from going on a walk and the dogs came out to play. Caiden likes Abby, Abby likes Caiden. : )

More Fluids
Caiden had his appointment with his GI doctor. He just wants to add more fluids to his day. He wants Caiden to drink 4 oz. of water a day and Caiden does NOT drink water! So 1 oz. of water goes into each of his Pedia Sure bottles. He raised the amount of oz. of his prune juice, and 2 more oz. of Pedia Sure per day. This means his mom has to do a 1:00-1:30 a.m. feeding each night even though Caiden sleeps well through the night, to make sure he gets in all of his calories/fluids. He doesn't get them all in 100%, but he does get more in.
Yesterday he saw his regular Dr. and got 3 inoculations.
: ( Though his weight is always a fight to keep up, he is still in the low/normal range. : )
Caiden has lost one of his hearing aides. He went out for a walk and came back without it. You haven't seen it have you?

A Good Doctor Report
Caiden got a good Dr. report yesterday from his pulmonary Dr. All the tests he had a month ago came back normal including the sleep test for his breathing. The Dr. is recommending the Synagis shots again for high risk babies this cold and flu season to prevent him from getting RSV. He is referring him to a GI Dr. for a further look. He specializes in the digestive system. Caiden's O2 level was 95% which is very good for him. He weighs 19.6 lbs. Almost 20 lbs.!
