Better Late then NEVER!!!

So It has been reminded to me by my dear grandfather that I do love so much..... that I have not posted in quite some time....

So hear I go:

Noah is doing great! We had his 3 month follow up appt yesterday and things are progressing. He weighs in at 27 lbs and is 37 inches tall. He was quite verbal, blowing rasberries, and moving all around on the bed at the office and the doc loved it. He is getting so big now. I was looking at him the other day and was like "he doesnt even look like a baby anymore". It is sad but in another sense it is so wonderful to see him gaining wieght and growing now.

We did get that airway clearance vest for him last month and ever since the doctor's say his lungs have never sounded better. On top of the vest we now also have oxegyen in the home in case he stops breathing and deep suctioning for his secretions. Things have been looking up. The oxegyen is so great to have. I have a sense of comfort knowing that I have it. Just two weeks ago we were able to go to a friends cottage that I havent been comfortable going to in three years because I was afraid he would stop breathing and it is harder to get to by vehicle. The oxegyen in my car made me feel comfortable knowing that I could use this until someone got to us or we could get him somewhere.

Two weeks ago after a little bit of fighting for it we recieved his car seat. Now Noah can sit foward facing in the car. This special car seat gives him enough head support to be able to do this. He now can see where he is going, instead of where he has been. It gives him more room for his legs and he absolutely loves it. The first day we put him in it he wouldnt stop blowing those rasberries and babbling in the backseat. Mommy likes it to because now I can see him during our rides to the doctors, etc.

Siezures are still a work in progress. He really hasnt been having any "big one's" lately. Its been more the small tremors and staring, etc. The doctor put him on yet another med for his siezures last month. I cant tell if its helping or not. I think it is in the sense that he isnt having the big ones but he still is having the smaller ones. I dont think this heat is helping though. We have an air conditioner is his room that we borrowed from Megan. I try to keep him cool as much as possible.

We have brought him swimming this year quite a bit already. Just this last weekend we brought him to a lake and he absolutely loved it. He kicked and splashed and smiled. It was so cute to see.

Im working on finishing my internship this month. July 23rd is my last day. ITs been a lot of work but I am excited to get that degree in my hands. I graduated in June and walked across stage...not I just need to finish so I can get the degree. ITs been alot of fun interning. I've learned some great things. And the kids are great too. I cant wait to be in charge of a classroom some day.

Still struggling with my sugars on a daily basis. Been really focusing on this since the miscarriage. We are planning to start trying in Sept. Im excited. the goal is to get my A1C down to 6.5 and last A1C measured last month was 6.8. So we are almost there.

Well I think that pretty much sums the last few months up.....

Yes, Grampa I will work harder to keep this updated.!! :)

Love to everyone.
