Seven Months

The twins are seven months! Mom and I had some girl time the other day and went shopping. It was a nice break. Of course I had to buy my angels something too. These are their new bathing suits and hats.

Better Every Day

Jordan is finally feeling better, and her breathing is back to normal. I think the Pravacid is working to control her reflux. She is not crying for hours at a time anymore and has been sleeping through the nights. The ENT said that it should still get better with time. She does have fluid in her ears. The ENT thinks that the fluid is from her reflux. If the fluid is still there in four weeks, Jordan my have to get tubes in her ears.

Winston finally cut his second tooth. We could see that tooth for a whole week before it pushed through. So, you can imagine what kind of mood he was in.

Here are a few pictures that my dad took.

Another Hospital Visit

Jordan was still fighting croup but getting better. On Tuesday, February 23 she started to have heavy breathing again. My mom took her to the pediatrician on Wednesday and was told to keep using the saline drops and the humidifier. Jordan was breathing okay that day but had labored breathing again that night. We were scheduled to see an ENT on Friday. She ran a scope down her throat to look for the hemangioma. She did see some small areas in her throat and nose but said they were flat. She did not believe this was causing any breathing problems. The ENT thinks that Jordan is suffering from reflux. She believes that if we get this under control Jordan will stop crying at night and her breathing will get better. She put her on Pravacid and it would take seven days before we would notice anything. Friday when she got home, she was extremely fussy and started throwing up. She cried the entire night and everything she ate came back up. I assumed it was because of the scope and the reflux. She continued to cry all day Saturday. When she stopped eating all together, I knew something else was going on.

We took Jordan to the ER at Dell again and found out she had RSV. RSV is a cold in adults but a mucus maker in babies. There is nothing you can do for it. They had to give her several breathing treatments because of her labored breathing. They also had to start an IV. She was a sick baby. We were release on Wednesday, March 3. Jordan is doing so much better. She has stopped crying so much at night. I really think her problem all along was reflux. Hopefully she won't catch anymore viruses and things will get better for us.

Here she is again in the hospital. She was already starting to feel better in this photo.

Dell is a beautiful hospital. This is a butterfly wall. When you touch a square, the background color changes. The green area is a butterfly flying by. Jordan loved to watch this.

I can't leave out a picture of my Winston. Poor fellow! He was shuffled around so much while we were at the hospital. He did get to spend some quality time with his daddy.
