X-rays and results

Mark and I brought William in for his x-rays on Tuesday. It didn't go bad but it didn't go super well either. I anticipated William to be held down (papoosed as we RN's call it), well the place we went to does not believe in this. (Who wants a child held down, but if it is in their best interest-so be it) They wanted a 15mo old baby to hold still and keep their head up! HA! That is worth a laugh. We had to do a sinus x-ray and a soft tissue neck done too. It took much longer as William wasnt the most cooperative. I was just wishing for the 2 minute hold down and then all done. Anyways we were able to get "ok" films-so off we went. Our pedi called that night at dinner to tell us the results. William has "packed with pus sinuses-both sides" His adnoids were fine. So 2 weeks of antibiotics is what we will try first. He's had 3 doses of antibiotics so far and as always- the pooping has begun! It will be a long 2 weekkkss! No cloth for William till it all clears up! William may need another round of x-rays and may still need an ENT consult after the antibiotics finish. Time will tell and we have to start somewhere! Lets hope William picks the easy way this time!

15 months!

Today William turned 15 mo, so off to the Pediatrician we went! He is now 28lbs and change.....(he's nearing the 29 mark but 28 sounds better :) ) He is 33 inches tall and continues with his big head at 20 1/2. He is DOWN to the 90% for weight and 95% and above for height and his head circumference. Our boy is slimming down! YEAH! He got 2 more shots and was not impressed with them at all! We went to change his diaper and layed him back down on that table-which sent him into another screaming fit! Poor thing was a bit traumatized-nothing some food couldn't help! He forgot about it in about 10 minutes and all was well again. I love how little ones forgot things so well! William is snotty nose AGAIN, so we are thinking he has chronic sinusitis. His Pedi wants to look into a little more and see if we can figure it all out. We will be doing sinus and adenoid x-rays in the next couple of days. They don't do appointments for x-rays so I have to walk in with my 15mo and hope they take him right in or else we have to wait for how ever long! Lets hope its a speedy process. Once we get results of the x-rays- it might mean 2 weeks of heavy antibiotics or an ENT consult and possible surgery! I'm not really happy about the idea of surgery, but our poor boy always has boogers in his nose and is congested. (He's not even in day care! Geeshhh how bad would that be! :) ) I'm ready and I know William is ready to be healthy! Otherwise all is well, we are going to work on eating more "people" food and speaking more words.

Walking

Our little boy is growing up... He is walking. One step at a time, but he finally decided that he can walk without much practice, he just decided to take off.

Rub a dub dub... William is in the tub.

William loves the water, some times we think he might be part fish. It is his favorite past-time.
