watch-n-wait again

Athan went to see Dr. Coburn again today. Early this morning, I was a little concerned because his fontanel (soft spot on his head) seemed swollen. We spoke to Dr. Irene first, wondering if it was a possible side effect of his growth hormone. She recommended that we go in and have Dr. Coburn look at it, so she called and asked him to work us in today. We went in at 1 this afternoon here in Wilmore to see him (precious friend Dru to the rescue again - kept Morgan so we could both go with Athan). Everyone agrees that Athan seems to be doing really well - eating, sleeping, diapers, not more fussy, no fever, etc., but no one is comfortable with the extra fluid we can feel. Ryan and I are watching him closely overnight to see if it is just some swelling that will resolve on its own, and we have another appointment at 8:30 a.m. with Dr. Coburn to check it again. If the swelling is still there, he may refer us back to UK Pediatrics as an out-patient tomorrow so they can look at him further.

Morgan is having a tough time with her schedule stuff these days. She missed a nap, and didn't sleep well last night. For her sake, we're trying to get back to a schedule that allows for regular sleep for her (at least ONE Strebeck should be sleeping normally, right?! :-).

Ryan got Mom and Uncle Josh to their respective airports today, so it's just the 4 of us here tonight. It was so great to have them both here. I miss them already.
