Caiden went to his local pediatrician Monday to check his weight, and O2 levels. His weight was the same as last time, and his O2 level was at 91%. Still not quite what they'd like it to be. And believe it or not when your O2 levels are low it uses up more calories to eat! So in order to keep his weight up he will be on oxygen more during the day rather than just sleeping at night. The Dr. said once again, that he continues to be amazed at how happy he is, and how well he does even with all of his issues. We so appreciate his positive attitude.
Caiden is getting stronger, and has gotten so much better at sitting up in his Bumbo chair, or his activity jump seat. He loves sitting & watching his signing DVDs and Baby Einstein DVDs.
Caiden's swallow study has been re-scheduled once again, for June 30th at St. John's in Oxnard.
