A new tooth :-) and we've been sick :-(

It's been a loooong two weeks. Bugsy has been sick. It started 4 days after he received his 1st synagis injection. Synagis is an injection to protect premature babies and babies with lung problems from RSV. RSV is Respiratory syncytial virus, it causes mild to severe respiratory infection. It is the number one reason babies are hospitalized each year. They receive an injection every 28-30 days during RSV season. 

So like I was saying, Bugs got his and 4 days later he started feeling bad.  I figured it was because the injection and he is teething. On Oct 19th, his first tooth came through. Now he has his second coming through. He spiked a fever of 103 and I took him to the doctor, low and behold he has two ear infections, possible strep and he was congested. My other babies never got ear infections or got sick at his age. They ordered 10 days of antibiotics twice a day and Albuterol nebulizer treatments every 4 hours. He completed the antibiotics last Saturday but he is still congested. Can I pull my hair out now? I haven't slept well since I found out he had CDH, but the last two weeks he has been awake from about midnight until 4 am. Eventually his sleep pattern will go back to normal, hopefully so will mine! Other than his cold he is doing well. He is up to 17 lbs, he eats everything. The GI doctor has him on a high calorie, high protein diet. We see the surgeon Nov 5th for a follow up to make sure his patch has not opened and measure his tummy to gauge when he will have his closure surgery done. He will also see pulmonary in Nov to wean his Viagra again. Soon he should be off the Vigra completely.

Bugsy  has started to scoot backwards. He only does it when he wants something. The same goes for him rolling. When he sees food or especially my cellphone, he rolls. He is sitting unsupported and can stand when he is holding on to something. Bugs is also trying to talk, he says dada and  bubu all the time. I can't wait for him to say mommy.  Before I know it he will be running around and talking. Well he is up early tonight so I will end this for now.
