Things have been running very smooth, since Joel's central line was pulled out in February. Until, he got his first official cold/Virus. He ended up with a fever for 3 days and it put him over the edge as far as dehydration. He had to go to the E.R. and not being seen for 3 hours with severe dehydration he got much worse. He finally after 4 hours finally had an I.V. started and got home on Sunday Morning around 6:30-7:00 stayed the night at home and had follow-up on Monday morning with Dr's and still showing signs of still being dehydrated. example drinking from a sippy cup when he's never drank one before in his life and then doing it like a champ and drank 4 oz in 30 secs. I knew labs were off and sure enough they were. We are back in for at least 3 days to get him back up to full feeds. We resume feedings this afternoon.
Joel is growing by leaps and bounds and grown 1 full cm in height in just a month.
His weight is down, because of the dehydration. I hope that with us readjusting feeds and his growth spurt he will be back on putting the weight on.
Joel is starting to communicate some saying mama and dada
He has also started sign language and says love,up and more.
He love playing outside and hanging with dad and his sister.
