Sick again!!!!!

Caitlin and Dillon watching Cailou































Baby Girl is sick again. We have been fighting this cold forever it seems.Caitlin will get better for a few days then all of a sudden its back. We went to Peed on Tuesday and we have a repitory infection so Caitlin is on Zithromax and oral liquid steroid to help her lungs out a bit. xopinex also for her neublizer machine. Dillon is starting to get a little bit sick as well. Fun fun. Caitlin has thrown up a couple times as well in the last couple days my poor baby. Wed we attempted to get her to her group program because it seemed as if she had been feeling better then wammm right when we pull up puke mania!!!!!!! Back home it was.

We did however weigh out little peanut and we are 20 lbs 7 oz. She is such a tiny girl but she is full of life and energy!!! She is really putting words together, when you tickle her she belly laughs and says "it tickle"also she calls out for Dillon alot now to. Last night Dillon came to sleep with me because he wasn't feeling to good and I just knew she would wake up late at night noticing he wasn't in the room( they share rooms) how I knew this is because awhile back Dillon had a sleep over at his friends house and Caitlin was up all night crying for Dillon. So sure enough at 3:38 am Caitlin was crying for Dillon this is how it goes "Diddon, Diddon, Diddon" so I had to move Dillon back to his bed and all was fine. Funny huh but pretty darn cute.
Other words he is putting together is "Diddon hiiiit me" "More please" stooooppp it , Datt Scur mee, I love listening to her.

We are moving soon. Yipppeeeeee. Closer to Caitlin's school and close to Dillon's new preschool which will be really great. so lots of packing to do soon.

Mommm, Look at Caitlin

Look how we found Caitlin. She climbed up her stool and just decided to hang out in the sink and brush her teeth. Caitlin's eye exam was today and it went good. Caitlin still has astigmatism but it isn't to bad. Also Caitlin's left eye was kind of shifting inwards but the Dr said that it looks like it has straightened itself out and doesn't seem to be a problem. Yeahh Thank You Jesus!!!We have it very easy compared to most preemies. I have read so much on other preemies who are not doing so good or have more issues then we have so it really makes me appreciate and take it all in how awesome Caitlin is doing. We go for our 2 year check up next month so we can see how well she is growing!! I can't believe she is going to be 2 already. When things happened before she was born we weren't even sure if we were going to be able to bring her home. We are truly blessed

G-Tube?????????????????????

Kind of a quick post here . We ended up having our developmental clinic on Wed and it started out super!! We saw our favorite nurse Diana and Caitlin was totally showing off. She was so cute using alot of her words and saying thank you and byeeeee I was really proud of her and just couldn't stop smiling.We saw some of our other nurses to and that was really great!!!
So Caitlin is measuring pretty good on most stuff. I have the paper but don;t have it right here. then we get the Dr evaluation. Not so good. She looks great and is great but the thing is that the Dr said she is still way to little and she has a small head(well yeah can't have big head for little body , but whatever) Anyway she suggested we see a nutritionist and possibly get an endocrine test done(OK whoa lady) I discussed this with our ped and he said lets do nutritionist first and then we can go to the next step(he thinks nothing is wrong as for as endocrine goes right now) Anyway also another suggestion is we might possibly have to get G-Tube to give some extra calories. I have mixed feelings about this. One part is like well ok if she doesn't want to eat at least I can get calories in her but then another part of me is like no way this is going to set her back possibly. and this is a major surgery. We have an appointment with our Gastro Dr on Tuesday so we will know the verdict then or what the real next step is.
So here is the wight stats
19 lbs 11 oz and 31 inches long. yes a little peanut but darn it she has energy like no other!!!! ok so this was suppose to be short!!!

First day of School!!!!

Monday was Caitlin's first day of school!!! She finally got to get into her group and did so awesome!!! She didn't cry once and went right to one of the Physical Therapist. The first half hour is music time with signing. I love it. I stayed for about the first 20 minutes on Monday so she can get used to it but she didn't need me there at all. They said she did really well and no crying!!!! She will be going 3 x a week for 2 1/2 hours. She went again today and same thing had a great day. One thing which was great is that they saw how she ate, how she just lets her food sit in her mouth and doesn't really chew to much. I am glad they finally got to witness that so they knew what I was talking about so we can work on it. She did really well again today. I am so happy that she got approved and she always comes home so happy and in such a good mood from school. She really loves it alot.

On another note. Jesus had his surgery yesterday and he is doing well. He is in alot of pain but getting better. His surgery ended up lasting about 3 hours and was only suppose to be for about an hour in a half. The Dr said that in your clavicle(collar) bone it goes in 3 parts, the middle part is where he really broke it and said it broke into 4 pieces so he had to put the plate in and screws. It was like a puzzle which is why it took way longer then expected.

So hmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder if they will be riding a bike again anytime soon????:0)

Caitlin eating (not)

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Here is a video of Caitlin and what our eating time is like. In some of it it looks like I am forcing her to eat(adding more food when not necessary)but just wanted to video how much food she actually keeps in her mouth. Caitlin most of the time will hold her food in her mouth on both sides of her cheek. Whenever we eat she always gets so nervous and stressed out from it. It isn't one of her favorite things to do. I don't get it sometimes though because she will eat a Dorito no problem and some other things but most foods(lunch,dinner,breakfast) she cries and just doesn't want to eat.
Also Caitlin is sick. Another ear infection on top of it. The Dr at our urgent care did say that she had fluid in her ears and I have always thought maybe she did have some fluid in there but never knew. This is her 4th ear infection so I think I am going to talk to her Dr about seeing an actual ear,throat,nose specialist( I know there's a name but forget lol)Also we are going to start group therapy classes for Caitlin in a couple weeks to see if will help get her caught up on some of her motor skills. Also I think this will really help with her eating so I am excited. She is going to go 3x a week and Dillon just went back to school to so it looks like I am going to have some free time on my hands hmm what to do.
I have a list of where she is at motor wise but will have to post that later.
