I'd be irked too. Can you get a follow-up or additional weight checks?

[dmorgendorffer]

aggiebug Did they have anything helpful to say about the diarrhea? That does seem like a big drop.

[aggiebug]

seamonster, Right now it is not going to change anything as we should be touching base next week, but yeah I am not going to let it slide at all.

dmorgendorffer, Right now the plan is to get a poop sample to send off looking for parasites, bacteria and blood. We are also cutting out all dairy from her diet and monitoring. And I will be seeing the pediatrician in just over 2 weeks and we will be discussing a long term plan for this, if not sooner. The PA I saw today is ok and I do think she knows her stuff I just wasn't pleased with the communication. :/

Ugh. I'm rooting so hard for the Cubs, even though I'm a Sox fan, for H. But this is no bueno.

As an Astros fan I have a long dislike of the Cards, but I would also rather play the cubs than the Cards this year. They are a good team.

I know my dr said they don't worry about drops in percentages unless they cross two lines on the growth chart

[dreemkin]

Grrr Now I'm cranky bc the Cubs lost and (not related) it's going to be a crappy day at work tomorrow. Gnite.

[cougarette]

I did end up taking DS to the dr this morning. His cough was sounding cruddy again last night and this morning. She said he likely has bronchiolitis, which can include wheezing. She said it could linger for a bit, but hopefully we're over the hump.

Based on the time of the appt I had enough time to run by work first, so I was able to show him off. Everyone commented on how cute he is and how big he is now (we visited when he was 6 weeks old).

Then several of us went to my favorite brewery for happy hour. We started venting about some stuff, like that passive aggressive email our boss sent last week. So that was nice to get that out. Though one of the people there venting was our hr lady, haha. She's really cool.

[lilyelayne]

cougarette love tit for good time with coworkers and for another check up. Hopefully the meds will clear up the bronchiolitis. I think seamonster and maybe WittyLittle too dealt with that in their LOs?

[lilyelayne]

The iPhone 6 is too big for my hands. I don't understand how people use the 6+! Or any of those giant samsungs.

[lilyelayne]

PikoPiko well how did the first week of new daycare go? As positive as the first day?

click this, cougarette.

I also made an appt for DS with a chiropractor. I'm hoping it helps in general.

First week went great! DS seems happier being there than at the last place. I love how excited he seems when he sees me coming to pick him up. He doesn't cry at drop off and pick up anymore. Huge smiles and laughters for the teachers when we leave.

The only thing not going great is DS doesn't get to keep his lovey in the crib when he sleeps. Per the state's licensing rules, nothing is allowed with the baby when he's in the crib. The other place was more lenient. Oh well. At least the "teachers" are far nicer and would work to get DS to nap twice when he's there. They pat DS on the butt while he struggles with his lovey in the crib, as soon as he's down, they remove it. Unfortunate for us, all those lovey stealing at nap time caused a lot of anxiety in DS. Last night he woke up multiple times at night crying for his lovey, but it was just in the crib with him, he didn't look for it like he normally would, went straight to crying assuming his lovey was stolen from his crib when he fell asleep. We hope tonight will be better. We're at a loss with what to do, right now we'll still give him his lovey and if he wakes at night, we'll let him cry a bit, maybe that would force him to search for his lovey and eventually he'll get that loveys don't go missing at night.

The new place bills themselves as a school, they do some sensory and music, story time etc. At the end of the day when I click the sign out button at the door, the system automatically emails us his schedule, photos and notes the teachers wrote about his day. I love these little memories they're keeping for us. I'm too addicted to the webcam, now I've delegated the camera stalking to my sisters. They're in different time zones, so they watch when I'm at work. They report to me what they see with screenshots. We're a crazy bunch for sure. They told me there's an older baby that keeps hitting DS or pulling his hair. He terrorizes other babies too. Everytime I see that boy, I give him a hard stare for bullying my baby. He's 11mos old, so hopefully soon he'll be off to the toddlers' class.

DH also thinks this place is a much better fit for us. Worth the extra $500/month!

Yes! We got a bronchodilation syrup which took a few days but then cleared it up. We're on week 6/7 of continuous colds though. It looks like he's getting the bronchitis back. Fml. Poor little guy! cougarette i hope LO feels better really quickly

Baby vicks and an onion next to the bed helped us a lot too! And steaming in the bathroom before bed.

Yeah, it can take 8 weeks to clear up. Supposedly they get it once and are good. DS was diagnosed twice with it, so it can come back. I think he just picked up another strain because the cough stopped for a bit and came back. And the third round of coughing turned bacterial. So much for the protective powers of bm.

ETA : no drugs for the bronchiolitis, but it was recommended we get a humidifier

Same thing happened here. He was almost totally better and then BAM! now we're back to rattling breath and coughing ourselves awake every 2 hours. Sooooo siiiiick offff thiiiiiis. seamonster which humidifier did you get? I've tried 2 and they both suck.

Vicks cool mist. I need to get the antibacterial inserts off of Amazon. It seems to work well enough, but I'd like the light to be less bright.

[seamonster]

Also when the coughing is waking him up, I elevate on side of the matress and let him sleep on a slope.

Yep almost a pound and a half. Both weight s were taken with her in a diaper and a onsie so a little variability but definitely weight loss.

[lilyelayne]

PikoPiko glad to hear the new daycare is working out so well! Maybe they'll figure out how to totally wean L off the lovey at daycare & then he'll realize he never has it there & always have it at home?
WittyLittle T&Ps for a healthy baby really soon
aggiebug I'm sorry the PA didn't address the weight drop. At least you have a reasonable hypothesis for where it went (diarrhea, not absorbing as much nutrients from food as it passes through maybe)? Hope S bounces back once the dairy clears her system.

DS lost about a pound and a half too when he was on his milk strike. The pedi said she's not worried because he's a big guy, but we'll check again at 9mos. Hopefully both our LOs will bounce back and reclaim their chunky baby titles!
