Well, Zakry had some tests done to find out what's causing the wheezing. He had a sweat test to test for Cystic Fibrosis and that was negative. He also had an upper GI. That showed he does have acid reflux and also that his stomach does not empty as quickly as it should, which that with the acid reflux, could be blocking his airways, resulting in wheezing. So i'm glad we possibly found the cause and praying that the treatment helps. The treatment is Prevacid and I am reducing his bottles down to 4 ounces at a time, every two hours and adding cereal to his bottles. Hopefully this will help him not get too full and it will settle well. So far, so good. Still some wheezing, but I haven't started the prevacid yet, because the pharmacy hasn't got it filled yet.
For now, I do have to continue giving him breathing treatments (pulmicort) but hopefully we can stop those in the next month or so.
As far as everything else goes, though, Zakry is getting SOOO cute and big. He's sitting up very well now on his own and he's so happy most of the time. He's saying MaMa and Dada and he gets slap happy at night and starts laughing about everything. It's quite funny. He's more than I could have EVER asked for in a baby boy. He's definitely a mama's boy and I love him sooooo very much. I wouldn't mind if he stayed 7 months old forever.
Morgan...she's doing great also and she's a typical 2 year old. Very very smart and bossy. But she's as cute as ever and I do not wish her to get much older either. If only I could keep them this age forever. :)
That's all for now.
