Caden's Cough

Caden has had a cough for 4 days and it is getting stronger. Sometimes it’s to the point where he’ll gag. The past two nights I’ve ran the humidifier in his room to help. He didn’t cough either night. But, when he wakes up he starts coughing.

Holly called the doctor’s office yesterday, but I couldn’t take him in since I was in a meeting all day. The doctor’s office was upset that we weren’t able to bring him in, but they said to call this morning and we could set up a time for him to come in. We called when they opened and they were able to get him in this morning.

Dr. Krenzer is not in the office on Tuesdays, so Caden had to see Dr. Mikuls. He has seen her before. She said his ears look great, so no ear infection. She actually said that around two years of age is when it is kind of rare for kids to get ear infections.

They gave him a breathing treatment which he struggled to not receive. I almost couldn’t hold him. When he was done he coughed up a storm, but that’s what they wanted to hear. They said he would be fine, just to continue what we’ve been doing.



Until Next time, I continue to ask for and thank you for your prayers.

Caden vs the Stairs

I know you are going to say, quit playing but this is true. Caden, climbed our basement stairs. I even got video of it. It is currently in short 15 second clips in a format that I can't put together right now, but I will. I came home from work earlier this week and Caden was half way up the stairs. So, the video will pick up from half way to the top.

Caden has also started climbing onto and off of the couch. The stairs we understand that he would learn pretty easily, but the couch. He put his leg up on the couch and pulled his self up. He is also getting his self off of the couch by rolling to his belly and sliding to the floor. I have yet to get this on video, but I will.

I also have some video of Caden swinging and loving it. He was giggling and laughing the whole time.

Caden is doing very good when we take away his plate. He has his days, as everybody does, where he just doesn't care and is pissed that you took it away. But, if we say "This is the last bite, then it's all gone." Then we give him the bite and say, "All gone." (While making the sign for "all gone.") He really doesn't care that he's done.

Caden now knows the signs for: mine, more, please, milk, thank you, and he uses a point and a hand closure for "I want."




Until Next time, I continue to ask for and thank you for your prayers.
