Today was another one of those days that you feel like is a Monday and a mack truck hit you before you knew what happened. Karson didn't sleep well last night and neither did we. I think it was about 2:30/3:00ish I moved him from his bed to his bouncy seat and slept the rest of the night on the floor next to him. The rest of the night ended at 5:30/6 am for me.
Karson was ready to be up by 6 this morning so I decided to get a jump on things and gave him his inhalers and his breathing treatment. I got his diaper changed and then got myself ready. I was able to take a few hours to myself this morning to get my hair done. Nice needed break.
Back home by noon to grab Karson and head to PS/L for his swallow study with Robin. Karson has had a swallow study done before when he was about 3 months old. Today he was hungry and wanted to have his bottle not the contrast they were trying to get him to eat. I did not have to hold him down today, there were two techs that were doing that. The interesting thing about the swallow study is that it is live images of what is going on. I was seeing Karson swallow as it was happening. The moved him from side to side and the to his back and then side to side. The doctor decided he wasn't taking enough so they put a feeding tube down his nose. He was pissed. He was crying when they were adding more contrast and that made me cry. Here we were another day of him not feeling well and having people poke him and make him feel worse. This part of the study told us what we already knew, Karson has reflux.
Robin does the part related to seeing if he gags when he has solids. Karson hasn't been much into having baby food. He gags with cereal, peas, sweet potatoes. Today he was performing! He ate what they offered and didn't gag. This is good. Now the kid will have to eat what I give him.
We left the hospital to rush home to get Kam off to school, pick Bailey up from school and return home. Thank gosh Suay was here so she could keep Karson while I did the running of the kids. I got Kamden from school and then went to the gym. Bailey off to church, a visit to Whole Foods and then home to make dinner.
I finished our evening with a dinner from Dream Dinners. I love their food for the most part and am so happy my friend Heather turned me on to this idea. I go once a month and get a ton of meals for us and freeze them. It costs me about $16 per meal and that is three servings. I love to eat at home and would prefer to do that at night rather than taking all the kids out to eat and spending $60 or more.
Kyle and I ate dinner while watching the biggest looser with Bailey. The kids are off to bed, Kyle to the gym and me to bed soon. Tomorrow Karson goes back to Dr. Guarin and has his blood draw as well. I hope they get a vein tomorrow.
