Noah is well loved!

Noah is having such a blast with all his family in CT. He has done really well adjusting to the time change, he is now on east coast time. It is cold so he has to be bundled up, which makes him even more handsome. He is showing some separation anxiety, which is new, being in a strange place. He has also demonstrated his temper, he pitched a fit when I took the phone from him tonight. It is sad, he gets so excited when he sees the phone and starts chanting DADADA. He misses his daddy. Sometimes it sounds like he is saying actual words lately. Hey Lady, Doggy and Grandpa are some of the ones he imitated in syllable and intonation. Everyone is trying to teach him something! It will be interesting to see what he learns over the coming weeks. Jay and Peter are hoping he holds off on walking, I think that he is too fat to even start yet!

Well we have to stay rested, we have alot of visiting to do. Today he met Cherie for the first time.... I will post pictures later, I am on my dad's laptop and don't have my camera with me.

More later.

What A Wonderful Son

Here Noah is smiling for the camera, boogers and all! He is so sweet. He has had a yucky cold. We went today to follow up with his Doc, he has been wheezing for the last several months, on and off the inhaler, etc. While there she discovered he developed an ear infection in the past week. We would have never known, he is so mellow and happy all the time, even sick. I am of course freaked out about the wheezing thing. She has him on his inhaler qid now instead of prn. He hates it so much... plus his saline drop in his nose. He gets MAD. This has been going on since this summer, plus he does this weird thing when he is sleeping, like he is gasping for breath. I hope his brain isn't oxygen deprived, he doesn't need any setbacks with his ADD gene pool!! Anyway, I am trying not to be alarmist, I am personally a total hypochondriac and I don't want to impose my neurosis on him, BUT. Of course his doctor is somewhat of an alarmist herself. She wanted him to have an ultrasound on his testicles on what was simply a bruise.

So he will get his treatments for a week. I need to start documenting any sleep interruptions and possibly record his "episodes" for the doc to hear. In the meantime she is setting him up with an appointment at Stanford, which I am very pleased about, no hack valley docs. He will be seen by a pulmonary specialist, IF it needs to go that far. Let's hope this is all just chest congestion from his cold!!!

Noah and I will be in CT for Thanksgiving, and sadly daddy's 35th birthday. More later
