11 Months Old

Yesterday Elijah turned 11 months old. Hard to believe how fast the year went right? He & I took a trip to the doctor yesterday because his wet cough has not improved, and we (Daddy & I) wanted to be sure it wasn't serious. The doctor said he is indeed getting over the cold, and the cough will likely last another few weeks. We have to hope he doesn't catch anything new at this point. But she said we are doing everything right. Yay! He has his humidifier on every night, his fluids are good (she judged by his drooling), and his ears, nose, lungs all looked & sounded good. So we're giving him a saline flush for his nose, and we wait it out. She said the saline should help with his problem of throwing up after a bottle. We'll be back next month for all his shots, and I hope the cough will be gone by then. So now we know what to expect for a recovery time, we can breathe easier.

He had a rough night last night, he was up for over an hour, me rocking him, trying to put him back down, he'd wake up as soon as he hit the mattress, repeat. After an hour, I just let him cry himself to sleep because he was so obviously tired.

I am hoping to upload some misc pictures I've been taking over the last few weeks, so look for that link to go up later today.
