Re: WALKING!!!!

[Guest guest]

That is wonderful!!! Aidan will be 16 months on Dec 5 and is still not walking.

He's been cruising FOREVER. He has a little push bike he walks behind all the

time and will hold my fingers and walk all over but he just hasn't let go yet.

If I'm holding him and set him down on his feet he just goes to a sit down

position. It's very controlled though and he isn't just falling over. He was

about 12 weeks premature so I'm giving him some extra time before I start to

worry.

Anyway, congratulations, I can imagine how excited you must be.. Oh, Aidan is

currently fighting an ear infection. We were up quite a bit last night with

102.4 temp. It's only his 3rd one though and he's getting in all of his molars

at the same time. Sorry, not much help. Of the subject, since and

Aidan are about the same age. How big are 's feet (size)???

Aidan's are both 3 1/2, which I believe at this age are a little small, but I

was just curious.

Well I don't know if I can officially say this, but Karter, 16

months on Wen., is walking. I have been waiting to post this since

Saturday. He started taking 5-8 steps on Saturday. On Monday he

was going 5-7 feet by himself. I really wanted to see him walk by

Christmas. He gets so excited and goes to fast then he will fall.

And he has not got the concept of stopping and going again. I am

just overwhelmed with joy.

question totally off the subject. Does anyone have any knowledge

with ear infection? Karter has repeated ear infection. The Dr.'s

as of yesterday have put him on a very strong antibiotic for 14

days, then after that will be on a " maintance " dose for 4 weeks.

This is 6 weeks on antibiotic. He just got off his last antibiotic

on Friday morning and was screaming by Sat. afternoon. (after the

dr's office closed of course) Since June 2nd he has pretty much

been on medication for his ears. And no we do not smoke and he

doesn't get to take milk to bed. The dr's have been talking tubes,

but always wants to try something else first.

As I am so happy about him walking I am just as frustrated about his

ears.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week

Way to go Karter!!!! He's really gonna keep you busy now Tabitha!!

Collin has had ear problems since we were in Iowa in September. In

Iowa they put him on an antibiotic (for a cough) before his surgery

and actually pushed it back a day. We noticed he was hearing us right

though while in Iowa, then we came home and his ped put him on an

antibiotic for his ears. Then we went for his 4 year old checkup 2

weeks ago and he failed the hearing test twice, passed the vision 100%

though. So they put him on nasonnex spray until January 10th when he

goes back again to retest. I'm still confused why he is on nose spray

for his ears, but his ped is usually really good. I learned though

there is no way he is gonna let me spray it up each nostril 1x day, so

I am letting him do it himself I just stand by to make sure he does.

They say its fluid in his ear. I'm hoping they he will not need the

tubes.

I was taking three different allergy medications and had allergy

shots for a while - Claritin, Nasocort, and Guaifenisin (or whatever

it is!). I take nasonex and claritin now - plus the shots. The

antihistimines alone never did it for me.

I doubt it is an allergy though, so once they get it cleared up, he

should be fine.

A few years ago, I had a really bad sinus infection that just

wouldn't go away. I ended up on antibiotics on and off for nearly a

year until finally I got a doctor with a brain who put me on them

for a month solid and suggested that I ask about a nasal spray for

my allergies. I haven't had one since so I'm a believer! (by the

way, when I was pregnant, I couldn't take the nasal spray and I used

the saline solutions instead. They work well too if you don't like

using the drugs.)
