Carson is home

This evening Carson got discharged. He is HAPPY to be home, and Isaac is HAPPY to have him back home too. If it wasn't for a nap he had this afternoon, chances are, we would still be in the hospital since he needed to pass the resting oxygen level before being discharged. So thankfully he passed it and he got to come home.

On a side note, Brandon said we should reserve a room next year around this time, since we most likely will be there again. 2 Years in a row, at almost the same date, lets make it 3.

Ironic part of all of this....a helicopter came. Each time we are in the hospital for something, a helicopter comes. When I had Carson, one came. Last year when Carson was at the hospital, one came. When I had Kianna, one came. And today, one came. Too bad I can't remember if one came when I had Isaac. I had him in the old part which is now a parking lot.

Carson Hospitalized

Almost a year to date from the last time, Carson has been hospitalized again. Wheezing and difficulties breathing...started with a cold like usual. Thankfully no IV's this time. Just hooked up to the Oxygen and the oxygen level reader thingie....and he does NOT like it, but manages. I stayed with Carson last night, which was long and tiresome between them coming in checking on him, them doing Neb treatments, and the oxygen reader beeping when it goes below a certain level (went down to 86 overnight, EEK) I only got 1 maybe 2 hours of sleep. Brandon is staying with him this afternoon/tonight/overnight since Im getting the kids cold (dont want him to get sicker), Im wiped out, and need a break from the place. Hoping tomorrow he gets to come home. Isaac misses him.
Carson needs to prove himself before he gets to go. Crossing my fingers for a good night.

Our new nephew....Owen Robert

Brandon's brother and his wife welcomed their second child, A BOY!!!!, into the world last week. Owen Robert was born Thursday, October 16th, at 5:35pm. He weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 21 inches long.

Those pictures were taken when he was about an hour old. And as I was sitting there looking at Owen and Kianna, I was amazed to see what 4 months can do. Its mind blowing when you have a newborn and a 4 month old present to actually see how much they do change in that short of time.

Aunt/Uncle status update....So far we have a total of 2 nephews (Chase and Owen) and 1 niece (Ella).

Kianna's 4 month appt

Miss Kianna had her 4 month appt today. She is my slender but LOOOOOOOONG baby girl. She weighs a puny 13lbs 12oz but is an astounding 27 inches in length. She is a happy go lucky girl (smiling and babbling, sometimes giggling, to the dr while he is checking her out) until shot time. She got 3 shots, one of which was a combo. We opt out of the Rotavirus vaccine since she got a weird reaction to it last time. Poor girl suffered for so long (still does at times-long story)...so NEVER again with that vaccine.

She had her first taste of rice cereal the other day. She liked it, but then again, she was very hungry at the time and was whining because the spoons don't handle much like the bottles do.

By the way, we got Kianna a new Exersaucer. It puts the old ones to shame, making the old ones boring.

Exersaucer Time

We brought the Exersaucer up from storage for Miss K the other night, just to see how well she does in it. It scared her at first since it was a little overwhelming with all of the stuff it has on it AND with her big brothers goofing around with it at the same time. She did well in it tho.

By the way...I saw an Exersaucer at Target the other day that I REALLY want to get. Looks soooooo much fun. Wonder if I can talk Brandon into getting it.
