That's our Brenna...

Today during nap she cut herself.  Yup, during "nap".  She went into the bathroom and was playing with my razor.  UGH!  She cut up her finger pretty badly.  After half an hour of pressure and ice I finally got the bleeding to stop.  I wish I had another adult to consult with to find out if I should get her stitched/glued. 

Apples

So I tried applesauce last night.  I was up with Corbin 4x last night and Dan was up 2x.  Not sure if it was the testing we did or if it was the apples.  So, I gave him apples again today.  We shall see what is going on.  I sure hope it isn't a reaction to apples.  I think I would cry.  :(

Allergy Testing

Today we went to Dr. Bagenstose to test Corbin for allergies.
Well, just as Amy predicted, everything came back negetive.  We KNOW that he cannot tolerate things, like alimentum and bananas so far.  But nothing came back positive.  Now we have to figure out what the next step is. 
Tonight we tried apples.  I will try them again tomorrow and see how he does.  If he is fussy or reacts with a rash or something we will need to try something else in a few days.  So we will see.

I think I would take Monday over Tuesday...

Today was another rough day in the Vogel house.
Corbin went to see Dr. Carine again. He has not been feeling well for about a week. I gave it that amount of time to see if it would go away...guess what...it didn't.
He has a second double ear infection (2nd in a month) and is wheezing.
He is on a steroid and a shot for antibiotics. Let's not forget to mention the nebulizer we were sent home with as well. Every four hours until the wheezing goes away.
I am pretty emotional about this. I wasn't prepared for the nebulizer. I knew that an antibiotic and a steroid would probably be on his list of things to get but not the neb. I thought perhaps an inhaler like the girls had...I guess he is just different.

Time to start again...

Well it is time to start this up again.
Corbin is doing well. He is now up to 18lbs and over 26" long. :)
We are now encountering food problems.
We gave Corbin bananas a week or so ago. Well, that didn't go so well.
We now have an appointment on March 8th with an allergist to see what Corbin is actually allergic to. If we find he has significant allergies we my try treatment several of our friends recommend.

The girls are doing great. They are growing leaps and bounds everyday.
Abbie is loving her V. Smile games and is attending AWANA weekly.
Brenna is a very vivacious 2 year old and likes to explore EVERYTHING! :D

Monday, November 9th

I weighed Corbin again today. He is now 10lbs 9oz. YAY! I am so happy for him. We just ordered two cases (8~15oz cans) of formula...oy, $255. Here's to hoping some day we can get him off of this formula and on to something more affordable. But you do what you have to do.

The girls are doing great. Brenna is starting to learn her boundaries...not quickly but she is learning them. Abbie is a petite little girl. I love her to death. She is such a sweetie. She always knows when mommy needs a hug. The other day she caught me without a seatbelt on when I was in the backseat feeding Corbin his bottle. She told me that I needed my seatbelt so I could be safe. :) What a cutie. Of course I put it on. I just hadn't gotten that far yet. :)

Monday, November 2nd

Last night was interesting. Corbin came down with his first fever and he was unconsolable. It was really rough. We didn't get much sleep but his fever finally broke and then the night went better. I hope that we don't have anymore of those for quite sometime.

He has a cold and that is causing him to throw up because of all the mucus in his tummy. Here's to hoping he gets over this cold soon. We cannot handle anymore set backs with him.
