Weekly Camden update and Christmas time

Christmas morning started out with Camden pooping through his cute Christmas PJs so he couldnt wear them. Doesnt that always seem to happen? So small in the scheme of things, but come on! ;)
He basically just sat at his Nana's feet ( my parents spent this year at our house) watching his siblings. Wanted no part in his gifts, and actually kicked them all away. Once they were opened he loved playing with them. During this season I cant begin to tell you how many times I have thanked the Lord that I had my baby here for his "first Christmas". That was one of the greatest JOYS of this year along with celebrating our Savior's birth and how he came to save us!

Did you know that having Camden NEVER gets boring? ;) The other night we had family over and we were having scrabble wars. Yes, major geeks and we were really getting into it so we were all passing Camden around in between hooking him to feeds, suctioning, playing our turn, breathing treatments, etc. Later that night I had him in his room and my husband brings me Camden's mic key button feeding tube, still inflated with water. Camden either stepped on it, his brother accidentally pulled it out, or he stepped on it, but the hole in his tummy for it was pretty much closed. I dont know when it had happened but it was somewhere in a 3 hr time frame. ( the last time it happened I watched it pop out and I slid it right back in) I got it back in after about 5 minutes of trying and it not budging until I used a thermometer to re open it. ( gosh I really hope his doctors arent reading this ) but it worked and I didnt have to go to icky ER. Camden did great during all this. We normally do not leave extensions attached to it, but we did this time. We just cant do that anymore with him being so active.

His pediatrician brought his RSV shot on Christmas day. I was so sad for him, but glad he didnt realize that I was mean to allow that to happen on that day. ;) She called and was on her way to the hospital and wanted to get it to him, and he needed it. So we did it. He did well and had no side effects.

He is a whopping 18.9 pounds as of today. I was surprised because while he was sick he lost a few ounces. He is still on oxygen during the night so Im not quite understanding that unless the common cold just kicks his butt like this. He does great during the day, but as soon as he goes to bed his o2 levels drop. He sometimes just hangs around 88. We are just giving albuterol here and there again and o2 as needed.

He is tearing up the hallways with his walker and it makes me laugh so hard. So interested in crawling, just still so nervous and not quite strong enough. He just pivots in sitting position and eventually gets to the toy he wants as long as it is somewhere in a 2 foot range.


Happy New Year 2010 to all!!
