Colds, growing up and a little update.

Karter has had a cold for just over a month now. I know, its cold and flu season and it is to be expected. However, it just seems to have gotten progressively worse. The past 2 weeks Karter's asthma has been pretty bad. After having him on his nebulizer 3 or 4 times a day with no improvement, I called the doctor today. He agreed that Karter should be seen. So we took yet another trip to the doctor.

Our family physician figures that a combination of Karter's reflux, asthma and cold most likely have turned into Bronchitis. So another course of antibiotics for a week should tell if that is the case. If things do not get better, we will rethink it again and look into things further.

On a positive note - we had Karter weighed so that the doctor could accurately dose his meds. He is now 26 pounds! A far cry from the 22.5 pounds he was in January. So we are very thankful!

One more week of riding for this session. We then have a 4 week break and resume the spring session in April through June. Today was a tough go at riding, especially with Karter not feeling well. But for the most part, we think he really enjoys it. And there have been some really nice improvements in his tone and head control since January.

Other than that, nothing else much is new.
