Update on Kyan

It seems like ages that I have sent an update on the kids and of course it has been a few weeks.

Kyan hasn't been well since Christmas. He had croup over Christmas with some wheezing at night time. It seemed to be improving but then last week it started getting worse again. I took him to the doctor and she thought she saw something on his tonsils but suggested it might be food. She said to give him a course Prednisone for the Wheezing.

Well that night he was very upset and irritable and would not settle for several hours so I took him to the hospital. The doctor saw the spots on his tonsils also and said he thought it was tonsilitus. He has been on penicillan for it and it seems to have been helping although he has also developed a cough. I took him to get that checked on the weekend but his lungs were clear so that is good at least. He was weezing and unsettled again tonight tho so I might take him back to the doctor again in the morning.

He also now has 6 teeth. He got his 6th one just after Christmas. As you can see by the photo he still loves his food and you cannot eat in front of him without sharing it with him. It is rather cute but I am quite dismayed at how much junk he is now ending up eating. Jasmine never had biscuits and things till she was at least 18mths old but with Kyan he cracks it if you don't give him a little nibble of whatever it is you are eating.

Having said that since he has been sick he is right off his vegies.. at least he is still eating fruit and custard. I am now making his custard with soy milk instead of rice milk and he seems to be tolerating it ok. I have also started eating a little more dairy again and (knock wood) he seems to be tolerating that ok as well. YEAH! Dairy here I come! I have sooo missed cheese and Milo and all those yummy dairy things. I even had pizza the other night and no sign of any eczema on him or anything. YAY

Jasmine had a pool party today and had a lovely time. Of course Kyan had to have some of the food and polished off a lovely Home Made Chocolate Chip Biscuit... no wonder he had no interest in his vegies when we got home for lunch!

Anyway, that is Kyan's update.. hopefully he will feel better soon, poor little mite!
