Cole was born 6 days late at 7 pounds 6 ounces & 20.5 inches.
At 1 year he was 25 pounds 10 ounces and 32.5 inches.
Cole was on the charts for weight (barely) but off for height.

Hunter was born 23 days early at 7 pounds .2 ounces & 20 inches.
At 1 year he was 26 pounds 7 ounces and 32 inches (and his head was 48cm).
Hunter was off the charts for all his measurements.

Owen was born 11 days late at 8 pounds 4.9 ounces & 21.5 inches.
At 1 year he was 21 pounds 5 ounces and 31.25 inches (and 46cm head).
Owen was in between 75th and 90th percentile for height but 25th for weight and his head is now above 95th percentile?? I gotta ask about that since he was always in the 25th.

Wednesday the 25th - Owen had a fever and was a crank. Cole still had hives off & on but he went to school (today was his show-and-tell day)
Thursday the 26th - Owen had his 1-year well check with Dr. Hamp. Well, sure enough, he has a raging double ear infection! He was prescribed Azithromycin (Zithromax). Cole went to school and still, on & off hives.
Friday the 27th - Owen's a crank and running a low fever. In teh afternoon, Cole started a fever of 101+.
Saturday the 28th (today) - Owen was a super crank and woke up at 7 and fell asleep on Tommy by 9 (still asleep at 11). Cole seemed OK, but he went to sleep at like 10 and slept until 10:45 (I woke him up). He has a fever of 102+.

I dunno how to get these kids better or WTF is going on.... oh, I should add I have a head cold. No fevers or anything.. just a stuffy head.

Cole has an ear infection. We picked up his Amoxi chewables that he starts tonight. The doctor says his hives are viral exanthems.

Owen has no ear infections but currently has a 102.4 fever (just gave him Tylenol).

Hunter's still OK! :)

here it is, 5:10am! I have been awake for 2 hours thanks to Owen (who is now finally asleep).

I thought we were kinda fine. We made it from 8pm to 3:15am without a peep (yay!) and then he woke up crying and I tried to let him lull himself but nope. So, I made a 7 ounce bottle. He drank it all and was still whining and crying and ugh! I made another bottle (a 4 ounce) just before 5:00 am and changed his full pee-pee diaper. He fussed but now finally seems to have gotten to sleep.

Last time this crap happened he had an ear infection. I so ope this isn't #3 in the last 2 months!

As for Cole, he went to bed with hives still but had taken 2 benadryl quick melt tablets. So, he's sleeping pretty soundly and he has a 10:10am doctor's appointment if we still need it.

Well... Cole has more hives... they are getting worse. Grrr... and hives are nearly impossible to figure out! So we just have to deal.

We have poop. Yesterday there was NO poop (there was a shocker) and today we had a NORMAL poo! YAY!

Hunter has a double ear infection. He had 2 glasses of juice and a half of an apple along with his medicine and an hour or so later... BLECH! He napped for awhile and he just ate lunch and seems fine... feverish but belly is OK. I dunno if he isnt' agreeing with this medication or what (Amoxi/Clav liquid). I sure know he hates the way it tastes. I feel bad.....

I'm trying really hard to get the sick outta this house.. HOPEFULLY soon... doesn't help Tom is now sick too!

OK, well, yesterday Owen only pooped twice (hallelujah!). Only thing is, last week or so he wake up at night and needs a bottle. Last night he had 4 (between 7 pm and 6 am)... so it's weird.

Today, he hasn't even pooped once!

n another note, all the kids are sick. Cole has a slight cough and stuffy nose. Owen's is a bit runny but nothing major. Hunter's was runny with clear stuff and now its thick and green and his little cough is now a big one. He also is running a fever. So, he goes to the doctor at 1:30 today.

Ellie called it... for kids who were NEVER sick, they can't seem to get better lately! It's ridiculous!

Of course at my feet right now is a screeching Owen. But doctor's swear nothing is wrong with him!

Well... so far its only 5 poops. 2 of them not QUITE as liquid. He did eat well today. I don't know if tat added to the little bit less liquid. I dunno. We'll so how tonight and tomorrow goes.

Well, yesterday ended with 8 poops. He was kinda cranky too.

Today (the 14th) i was kinda happy for. Granted he again woke up at 5:15 am and was super scary but no poop until about 8:30. But then before his nap, which is at 1pm, he had another 3. He seems to be very hungry today but wow has he been a crank-pot!

Last night and today he had a super-low-grade fever.. maxing out at 99.9.

OK... Still more poop!

Monday totalled out at 9.

Tuesday was 8. Tuesday the 10th, we went to the doctor. Both his and Hunter's ears are perfect and all care. She thinks the Omnicef screwed up his insides that bad (maybe) or he had a virus and they run its course in 2 weeks. But what she found weird is it isn't getting any better. So he get acidophilus stuff in his bottle(s) to help with the Omnicef remnants if it is that.. and we sent in 4 jars of poop which got sent out to the labs yesterday (the 12th).

So we wait.

His birthday went over fine..... he had a blast. We had maybe 7 poops.

Yesterday the 12th, we had about 9 poos.

Today, so far we are up to 5! He had been cranky and screaming and I dunno. He pulls at his left ear and rubs the left part of his face sometimes. Something is NOT right!

So Monday, i its still liquid poop and so many times a day, and the labs come back fine, then we have to figure something out! I will demand blood work and seeing an allergist. My baby is hydrated but still losing weight!

My mom keeps saying how skinny his face looks. I know he's lost weight... we'll find out tomorrow how much!

He pooped this morning (liquid). and when I got him home after errands... He pooped SOOOO much... it was liquid and he sat down and it was all over the wood (squirted out). Then I put him on a pillowcase on the floors to change him and it all oozed out the side (HUGE pile) and out the back (so up his back).. It was the MOST he's had a once so far! So nasty!

He has his re-check tomorrow (as does Hunter for their ears) so they will be advised that something needs be done for this kid! Something isn't fight! It can't be a virus that no one else in the house got!

I just want my Owen all better. At his 1-year visit he is gonna weigh so little because he lost so much weight (his well-check is the 20th).... I mean this poor kid is gonna feel crappy on his 1st birthday (Wednesday) which totally sucks! :(

ETA: He pooped again. :(

Today was pretty good actually. One of the best in a week and a half.

But STILL he has liquid poop about 9 total today! That Si not normal.

And if it was a virus, in the 9 days he has been sick, don't ya think SOMEONE her would have gotten sick? WTF?

at 7:30 he pooped again... he was standing in the kitchen at my feet and I heard it. Kinda nasty.

at 9:00 he ate 1/2 a banana and then he had a poop explosion... It was all over me (on my clothes)... I cant wait until this crap (no pun intended) ends!

Well.. he was cranky after that (he was happy before that)... and he eventually napped. He just woke up cranky and let harig still and I gave him a bottle.

Rest of Friday he ate ok... tried some pasta and such. No puke at night again! (woohoo, it must be over, right?)

Well, Saturday he had a good day... well... that is until he puked up tons of stuff.. That was around 4:15-ish time. He as a complete crank after that until about 6:30.

I should add he had 7 poopie diapers (1 exploded out but luckily he had on pants so I saved me floors) still liquidy.

Well, he woke at 5:45 and was hungry. I made him 8oz and went to give it to him and he had poop again. So I changed poop, he drank his bottle and went back to sleep (it was dark out).

He's still asleep although with his psycho brothers being up before 6 as well, I don't know how!

Monday I think I am gonna demand blood work be done on him. This isn't normal!

Well, no puke last night (1st time in 6 nights). He woke up and had a few ounces of formula. He didn't want breakfast. I offered him juice and still wasn't impressed. He took a nap on the floor after being a total crab. After he wake up, he had a poo explosion! I cleaned him up and gave him a bath. He happily then played naked on my clean bed. I offered him another bottle and he pooped again. So 2 liquid poopies so far today. He drank maybe an ounce of juice and 8 ounces of formula so far (normally i would be close to 16 ounces plus juice plus breakfast and snack). He has been much sign on a few Multigrain Cheese puffs.... hey, at least it's something!

Let's start at the beginning.

January 23rd - Tom came home sick from work. He ended up vomiting and spent the day and night in bed sleeping.
January 24th - I got sick as did Owen. Owen just wasn't up to par and I ended up vomiting and slept most of the 2nd half of the day.
January 25th - recouping day
January 27th - brought Hunter to the doctor and had a 9.5 (out of 10) ear infection. He started Amoxi chewables.
January 30th - Owen still runs a fever off and on and tugs at his ears and puked all over dad.
January 31st - Own went to the doctor. He had a double ear infection. Started Omnicef. Threw up that night.
February 1st - About 9 liquidy poopie diapers. Throw up again at night.
February 2nd - not eating much, still liquidy poo, and threw up at night.
February 3rd - threw up at lunch-time. Went back to doctor. Still has fluid in ears but not infected. Stopped Omnicef. Throw up at night.
February 4th - eat a little better. last meal was at 5:30 (1 jar baby food and a little dessert). Bed at 7:15 and he grew up at 11:30 and then again a few more times later. 1 poopie diaper for the day - liquidy but a little more slid then total liquid).
February 5th - Feet 7 lips cyanotic in the morning. Cyanotic feet all day (not super blue just bluish). NOt eating his normal self. I poopie diaper of A LOT of very soft/liquidy poo.

Called the nurse-line at his pediatrician on the 5th (today). She said it must be a nasty bug and her suggestions were:
Eat no later then 2 hours before he goes to bed. Make it light food like pasta, jello... Offer him stuff like the Gerber Fruit water.
Watch the cyanosis. If it gets worse, or he is lethargic or starts coughing call. he might has aspirated some of the vomit.

I explained how he just isn't himself.. I know my son and there is something amiss.... hopefully it goes away or they figure it out soon. I miss my Happy Owen!

So THAT is why I haven't' posted much.... too much sickness around here. I haven't been at the computer much!
