Its Fall in Oxford...

Run Erica Run...

Get Ready. Get Set. GO!

That is how I have felt for the last two days...its been one big rat race.

Wednesday, Wyatt and I set out for Memphis to have pictures made as well as meet with a clinical nutritionist, round two.

Photographs: So cute, can't wait for you to see them. Of course Allison Rodgers continues to wow me with her amazing talent. We should get proofs on Oct. 14.

LeBonheur: Well, lets hope this is our first and last visit to this hospital. After a few pulled strings by a co-worker at Baptist, we were able to be worked in early. It was a much better experience. She was very helpful and gave me several tips on increasing Wy's calories. We will give it a whirl.

We spent the night with Lala wed night and had a lot of fun trying to trap the darn armadillos. I am saving this story for its own post. It is quiet comical to me and very distressing for lala, they are tearing her yard up!

Thursday, we had an appointment with Dr. G. This is the monthly weight check for Wy. She was a little disappointed that the little man didn't increase in weight over the last week. Last Wednesday, we had a sick appointment and he had gained from 15.12 to 16.9. She was thrilled when she saw this. This week he only weighed 16.7. We had a major set back on Friday because he was so congested that he would not even suck his passi much less his bottle. Wy does have his first ear infection on the right side and is taking antibiotics for the first time. By the way, cheers to fastenal's insurance company, I only had to pay $0.68 for his antibiotic! Amazing!
We have had this constant rattle in his throat area from day 1. It has really concerned me periodically but the drs I talk to dont seem to be concerned. While in Dr. G's office today, she finally heard the rattle. She sent us for a KUB(stomach xray), a chest x ray and a barium swallow study. The good news is that everything checked out just fine. His lungs are clear and his swallow/stomach is all working properly. The bad news is, we still have no clue to why this child hates to eat!

After the visit with Dr. P in the Diagnostic center, we flew back to Oxford so I could learn to sew...I made it 45 min late.

Hold on to your seat, you wont believe what I made....

:)

Everyone loves a little "happy" every now and again.

My super sweet hubby brought me this happy to work.

He won major points with my co-workers and really made my day! He is the best!

Sick Baby Boy

Tuesday night, La La came by for a quick visit. Wy was so tickled to see her. He laughed and had the best time. She stayed long enough to feed him and give him his nightly bath. Then I put him down. It wasn't an hour later and he was wide awake with a snotty nose! He started running fever in the middle of the night and that gave him a quick ticket to my bed! We were up every hour trying to get comfortable and get his fever down. The next morning, we headed to Memphis to see Dr. G. She checked him out and told me he had a head cold and there was really nothing we could do. Poor guy!! We headed home to tend to the cold. It has not been fun!

Of course, the cold has made its way around the King household. We have lots of Vicks, steamy showers, and tissue going around here. Hopefully my little guy will start feeling better soon...like TODAY! We are a little sick of the head congestion, boogies and fussiness.

I must say we are very blessed that he has made it 8.5 months without being sick. I don't know how parents manage that have sick kids all of the time! It makes me a very nervous mommy.

On the Go!

Wyatt is really on the move these days.

We have to keep a close eye on him because we never know where he will disappear too.

It football time in Oxford!

This past weekend, we had a couple friends over to watch the Ole Miss football game. We had lots of fun visiting with friends and cheering for our Rebels.

Zach thought it would be super fun to give Wyatt a mohawk.....he is pretty cute, even with all the food on his face!

Wyatt is getting on to Jack for all of this State talk...

Powe in the making.....if he will eat maybe!
