Update on us

[charlotte1984]

Hi guys,
I'm sorry I haven't been around much but I have been popping in now and again checking out all the news! I just don't seem to have 5 mins to myself!
Oliver is 11 weeks old 12 weeks on Thurs he now weighs 8lb 13oz he's such a little sweetie and has really chubby cheeks (for some photos check out my blog at www.diddyangel.blogspot.com)
I managed to exclusively breast feed oliver until he was 8 weeks when I was physically exhausted and needed Iv's his reflux was so extreme my washing machine was always on with the amount of sick he was producing.He had slow weight gain, He wasn't sleeping more than 2 hours and I just decided I couldn't go on. Consulting with the docs he was put onto a premmie baby formula and since then he's like a different baby, he's piled on the weight his reflux is so much better he sleeps all night with only one feed! He is so content, I feel for us it was the right decision.
I have had my anti biotics and am now alot better my fev1 is around 42% which I know there is a high chance wont go up alot more because of the damage cause throughout my pregnancy but i'm off all o2 which is good <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Abigail is coping really well with having a little brother and loves him to bits.
We are all settled into our new lives really well <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I check your blog all the time .. I know what you mean about not having even 5 minutes to yourself! Brianna is such a little munchkin .. she is 11 pounds and has the reflux too, and is just getting over her colic. But the reflux is still pretty bad. Switching her formulas has definitely helped quite a bit! My fev1 is now 72%, and in April it was 83% .. yesterday I coughed up a lot of blood and I know I have a bad infection brewing... so I am on prednisone, zyvox, cipro, tobi (inhaled), and zithromax. Hopefully i dont need I.V. but if none of these meds work then that's the next step!

I am so glad to see Oliver growing so well, is he just such a little handsome guy! I hope the IV's helped you in feeling much better... I think of you and your family all the time!

xoxo,
Tina

I wanted to respond sooner, sorry! I'm so glad you checked in. I'm sorry that breastfeeding didn't work out like you planned but you have to do what is best for your situation. He got 6 weeks and that is great! And yay for being off o2!! I was so worried about you when you were pregnant. Sounds like you're doing well and I'm glad that your daughter is taking in her new role of big sister.
