RSV Update!

Well the doctor's visit went really well and she was happy with Berk's progress! (Thank goodness!) We now only have to do breathing treatments when needed instead of every 4 hours. She said that we would probably need to do them in the morning and then before sleep but that she probably won't need them during the day! Her cough is not "chesty" at all anymore which is such a great thing! She did say that her left ear was still a little pink but said she was not prescribing anything else just for us to finish the Amoxicillin. She said that she might just be a slow healer with things like that and not to worry about it unless she becomes agitated and acts like it is hurting her. (Which we all know that she probably won't because that isn't her "style!") She now weighs in at a hefty 15 lbs. 14 oz. which means she gained 13 ounces in 8 DAYS! But Dr. Landry was also happy that she had gained weight being sick because most babies will fall off a little bit; but then again that isn't Berk's "style" either! She is now eating carrots and loves them except that she is "spitting" when she eats (doing like raspberries) and it gets all over mom! She only has one more vegetable to do (green peas) and she will have tried all of them and one more fruit which we will do on Sunday (peaches). She is a little connoisseur of food and will not let you miss a feeding! Well I think that is about it for this update! No new pictures but we are taking 6 month pictures early on Sunday with the same photographer that did our wedding photos, so we are SUPER EXCITED! I know she did a great job on our wedding photos and also on Rance's senior photos last week!! You should check her out at www.rollsoffun.photoreflect.com! She will probably post Berk's pictures on Tuesday or so, so be sure to check on her website and look at her "early 6 month pictures!" Hope everyone has a great weekend and can't wait to get some great pictures of our little girl who is growing so fast (too fast if you ask me)!
