Kane meeting his great grandma's

Kane eating baby food

We started giving Kane baby food on Tuesday. He loves carrots and eats the peas. He is doing really good. Still got to get him to understand how to eat it without using the tongue so much. He pushes alot out. But he ate a good amount. I think we are going to have a big boy!

Kane to Dr again

The 1st three days we were in Nebraska Kane seemed to be feeling worse each day. He was throwing up alot and crying alot again. So we went to see a pediatrician here. She was extremely nice. Liked her alot better then the dr's we have in Savannah. She sent us over to St. Elizabeth to run a test on Kane's stomach and valve. It was really neat to watch. His valve looked good but he was full of gas/air. Dr. at the hospital thinks that is why he is so uncomfortable. They changed his medicine a little bit and told us to give it to him a different way. They didn't think he was getting it because he was throwing up so much. He is slowly getting better. He was great the last two days. Still a little fussy but seems to be much happier.

Kane meeting Grandpa for 1st time

Kane on 1st road trip

Road Trip to Nebraska

Man is it going to be a long trip home. I think we have scared Kane for life of the car seat. We decided to drive overnight so he would sleep most of the way. And that he did. Until we got to Saint Louis. Which is about 6 hours away. From then on it was screaming. He wanted out of his car seat. When we would stop and take him out he would smile and laugh and was happy as could be. But the second we put him back in he started screaming. It was miserable. I felt so bad for the little guy. Nothing I could do would calm him down. For about an hour if I shook his car seat he would close his eyes. But the second I stopped shaking it he would wake up and scream. I thought my arms were going to fall off. When we got up here it was 4 degrees. When we left Georgia it was 77. Now I know why I moved.

Kane 8 week visit

Kane had his checkup on Thursday. Dr. said he is a big boy. He weighed 13lbs 6ozs and is 24 inches long. Dr. said normally he would tell us to start trying cereal but since Kane has already been doing that for a month now he told us we could try veggies. He said he is about at the stage a 3-4 month should be at. He got his shots and boy did he hate that he held his breathe and changed all sorts of colors. The nurse did a great job at doing them quick. He was a little crabby that day but by the next morning was in a really good mood. We did have to switch medication again and are back to 5 doses a day. We go back to the specialist next month. We just can't seem to get his valve to do its job. He seems to be alot happier but is still spitting up like crazy. He usually starts to wimper before he does it so there is some pain there but alot less then before.

Bear not Monkey

So the toy is a bear not a monkey. It just hit me this morning when I was looking at it. Kane is a blast now. He laughed and smiled all day. He went to lunch with me and 3 female friends and just ate up the attention. He is just so darn cute and I don't just say that because he is mine. I get told all the time that he is beautiful. I can't wait to see how much he weighs at his next appointment. He is starting to get some rolls on his legs and arms. And man does he have cheeks. He started trying to grab stuff today. I think he will be a smart one. He is doing so good we are down to medicine 3 times a day and he doesn't have to see the specialist until next month. He still spits up alot but doesn't seem to be in pain. I just can't wait for everyone to meet him.

Great News for Kane

No surgery! Kane has been a new baby the last three days. It has been wonderful but it is weird getting used to it. I have to get used to what he wants now when he fusses. He is such a happy baby now. He gained a lb in just a week so the doctor said that means that his valve is doing enough. He is now over 12 lbs. He is still spitting up but he doesn't seem to be in any pain anymore. He ate 50 ozs in one 24 hour period! The nurse was shocked. But I think we topped him off because he is not eating nearly that much now. The doctor is leaving him on double the drugs for now to try and get rid of the irritation from the acid. He said it will take a while to heal up all the damage. But after a couple weeks we will just give him medicine in the morning as a preventative measure. The funny part of the visit was when the nurse didn't put Kane's diaper back on and put the stethoscope on his chest. He peed in her face and all over. It was funny. You would think she would know better. Since Kane loves laying on the floor we got him a little monkey toy that hangs above him. He loves it. He laughs and talks to it. It plays music and lights up when he kicks it. Just have to keep Izzy away from it.
