Speech Pathologist Appointment

 It has been some time since I've gotten a chance to blog. Busy busy summer, we had a great visit from my daughters who live in Georgia. Catching up with family since we have been gone from California for almost 2 years and oh the one kid sick after another. This summer has been a whirl wind of cold flus and more. So here is an update on Cole. 

Cole is now 15 1/2 months old  23.6 pounds and has 7 teeth he can walk and somewhat run. He is very bowlegged but its okay we will fix that. Meals are a bit of a challenge as Cole is lactose intolerant that makes milk pretty pricy depending on who has lactose free vitamin D milk it can run almost $10 a gallon.  Let me tell you this boy can put down some milk. Cole is still drinking from a newborn nipple as anything else chokes him. This is very frustrating and makes me worry every time he drinks or eats certain foods due to the danger of aspiration and choking to death. 

We have the best sippy cups, I've tried it all but the same outcome chokes until he throws up and turns blue. So we will be seeing a speech pathologist on Monday and get Cole the help he needs. Cole also doesn't say many words.  He doesn't say mama :( he tries so hard to talk but just gets frustrated and it makes him so angry. I'm sure the dr will be working on this as well. 

It's almost time for RSV shots this is the time of year I'm sure Cole dislikes monthly shots but its for his own good. November is his Cardiolgy appointment with Dr. Punn at LPCH. I'm excited to see his echo.  We've had less blue and low o2 spells but it still does happen from time to time. Coles skin is still a crazy mess by his scar he just breaks out in random hives these days. Creams washes and more creams, we will find the groove in that soon. 


Cole is a grouchy grizzly bear a lot but I love him to the moon and back. One thing that makes Cole extremely happy and very excited  is the Disney movie Frozen he is totally obsessed with this movie we watch it about umm 3 or more times a day lol he loves Olaf and we love our Colaf. <3
