Thomas the Train, Reflux, Torticollis, and Ear infection
That’s what we discovered at Carsten’s peditrician yesterday. We decided to take him in because he had been doing a weird breathing thing (he would hold his breath and wave his arms about). So after a scary night in Williams, AZ we got an appointment Monday morning.
The doctor noticed the torticollis right away and said it was a very mild case, but that we needed to get on top of it quickly.
After describing his symptoms she determined that he has reflux and it has been causing him pain (that is why he has been holding his breath). So he is now on Zantac to help reduce the acid production.
In addition, the reflux may have caused his stuffy nose and ear infection.
My sweet little boy is starting to feel better already. Those antibiotics work wonders!!
We had a GREAT time with Thomas. Camden was so thrilled with everything. He had so much fun riding on the train and playing with all the things they had set up. He chose not to have a picture taken with Sir Toppam Hatt or Thomas, but we did get a lot of pictures! He was sooooo happy to be at A Day Out with Thomas!
2 month Check Up
Carsten is a healthy, not so little guy! Here are the stats from our visit today:
12 lbs 14 oz (50th percentile)
24″ long (60th percentile)
He had 3 shots for 5 different things and isn’t feeling so hot tonight.
FYI: Camden weighed 13 lbs 2 oz and was 23 1/2″ long at 2 months.
Peach Festival
We headed over to Schnepf Farms today to enjoy the Peach Festival. It was a warm afternoon but the breeze made it better. Just a small reminder of the hot weather to come. While we were at the farm we tasted several different peach salsas and spreads as well as a very tasty peach roll.
Camden’s favorite part was the train, which he rode twice. Carsten slept through the whole thing. No big surprise there! 😉
Next weekend we are off to spend A Day Out with Thomas. Thomas the Tank Engine will be pulling the train along through Williams on a nice 25 min ride. Thomas is one of Camden’s favorite characters. We will be having a Thomas birthday party next month.
