Tonsillitis

Poor little Layne has had tonsillitis since Thursday. He is finally starting to maybe feel better today. We have not gotten much sleep around here because he coughs so much it keeps him up. Hopefully he will be back to normal soon!!

Here is a picture of him enjoying his swing!

Stroll for Epilepsy

This year's stroll is April 9th, 2011 at the Dallas Zoo! Here is the link to Layne's team, Layne's Rockin' Walkers, if you want to join or donate!!

We had a lot of fun the first year we did the walk, and couldn't participate last year because I was way pregnant and on bed rest at the time. We are looking forward to it this year!!

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome

Layne had a GI appointment yesterday. We explained to him the unusual pattern of vomiting that Layne has. He will vomit for 2 weeks sometimes and then be fine for 2 weeks to a month. It's the weirdest thing. So his doctor believes he has what is called cyclic vomiting syndrome. He has been prescribed Zofran to help when he has an episode. I'm really hoping this will help, because Layne is still a tiny 20lbs 7ozs, at 3 1/2 years old. We also have to squeeze in another feeding during the day, to try to "beef him up" as his doctor said, ha!

The past few appointments Layne has been to, he has had high blood pressure readings. Yesterday it was 133/83. I am concerned about this and so are the doctors. We will be seeing his nephrologist on Monday, so I'm going to ask him what to do about it.
