monster jaden

The boys sure like to keep us going going going.... Wednesday night we had a scary experience and Jaden has first ride in the ambulance : [ I was feeding him dinner around 5:30 and towards the end he started sticking his tongue out funny and acted like it was swelling, then he started to take really fast short breaths and was having some trouble breathing. My mom is a dispatcher and I called her right away, she sent an ambulance seeing is how he was having difficulty breathing and that isn't something to wait on getting help with. The whole time he was wheezing and taking short breaths he had a smile on his face giggling with the paramedics and chewing on his oxygen. Silly boy, he had no idea how scared I was! Once we got to the hospital he started to break out on his back arms and face. The ordered him a breathing treatment, benadryl, and steroids. We spent 6 hours in the ER but everything went very well, by the time we left you would have never thought he just had an emergency. They checked for RSV and took a chest x ray to make sure everything was okay, it was... so we thought. The next morning I had to take him to his pediatrician for a follow up and about 30 minutes before we went I got a phone call from the radiologist that looked at his x-rays from the ER and said he had slight pneumonia and needed to get him on some antibiotics right away. I mentioned this to the pediatrician and he told me that Jaden didn't have pneumonia and to not give him the medicine (without even looking at the x-ray or report). He referred us to an Asthma and Allergy specialist and prescribed some Albuterol for his wheezing that was still going on. So Friday went to Boise Valley Asthma and Allergy and saw a wonderful doctor!! While he was listening to Jaden he was wheezing a lot and he asked if he had anything going on. I mentioned the slight pneumonia but how the pediatrician told me it was false and not to worry about it. He said that pneumonia isn't something to mess around with in preemies and he was going to ask for the x-rays and report and figure out exactly what was going on. Sure enough he did have pneumonia, agh the run around!!!! He prescribed him some antibiotics and also sent us to the hospital to get blood work done to test what Jaden is allergic to. He thinks that his breathing problems got bad from the allergic reaction from having pneumonia. For now we have to avoid all foods that were found in that baby food, carry and epipen, and always have benadryl close. We should get the results back in 7-10 days. Jaden is acting pretty well for having pneumonia. His breathing is great besides some occasional wheezing and he doesn't really have a cough unless he is sleeping. We just have to keep an eye on him and pray he gets over it with no problems.

Besides the boys always trying to scare us, WE ARE GREAT!!! Jaden is sitting up all by himself now and Jaxson is doing much better. He can sit up for seconds at a time and we give him a lot less support when he's sitting up. The are both scooting all over and Jaden is in to everything!!! He has found the presents under the tree and already opened one. Naughty. It is very exciting seeing them really interested in the presents though because we weren't expecting that yet. Jaxson is doing WONDERFUL on his eating. It is very true that with preemies it is all on their time. He had no interest in solids for the longest time and would always gag and spit it out. We have been dong mouth stretches with him and every time he saw Jaden eating he would smack his lips so we decided to introduce bananas again. He ate 1/2 a banana the first time and didn't gag once!! YAY. He is doing great with moving it to the back of his mouth and is eating everything we give him now... even rice cereal! It's amazing how he can go from not tolerating it at all to love eating his solids. WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM!!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with both sides of our family and are really looking forward to Christmas!

Jaden got another Christmas present
