Plethora of Pictures

Grammie Janie sent us some pictures of Ian and company. He spent the night at Janie and Steve's on Monday night because I had lot of dental work done on Monday and was in a lot of pain. It was his second night ever away from us and first sleepover at Grammie and Papa's.

Ian & Katrina

Ian met Katrina at Little Diamond Lake on Saturday. (Katrina's dad, Dave, works at the same company as Dan and her parents go to the same church as Dan's parents.)

Ian was a good kid and shared his trains with her too.

Haircut

Ian had his hair trimmed this weekend. He was a well behaved little man. I was proud.

Ian Update

Ian went to his pediatrician today and we were told that it was definitely NOT bronchiolitis. He is saying RAD (Reactive Airway Disease):

"Some doctors use the terms "reactive airway disease" and "asthma" interchangeably. However, they are not necessarily the same thing. "Reactive airway disease" is a general term and does not indicate a specific diagnosis. It may be used to describe a history of coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath due to undetermined cause. These signs and symptoms may or may not be caused by asthma. Time or further testing will tell.

Use of the term "reactive airway disease" in part reflects the difficulty in establishing a diagnosis of asthma in certain situations. This is especially true with very young children. Breathing tests needed to confirm a diagnosis of asthma are not practical in young children because they require cooperation and understanding to get good results. Children usually don't develop these skills until age 4 years — sometimes older." -- MayoClinic.com

Hence, my momma instincts were mostly right. :) Yay for me, (but boo for Ian). It must be my redemption from the milk allergy suspicion.

Dentist

Ian had his first dentist appointment this morning, at 7:45!! lol - Danny took him so I could get a couple more hours of shut eye before my class today. Dan said he loved the office - an underwater theme complete with fish toys, games, lots of paint on the walls, and he was blessed with Little Einsteins on the overhead TV. No cavaties (of course!) and teeth look great! He behaved the entire time with a minor exception for the little mirror in his mouth. He earned himself a new toothbrush and a Thomas the Train sticker. He goes back in 6 months.

Right now, both boys are napping peacefully. Ian has a little cold (runny nose with a periodic cough) that kept him up last night :(
