Today Evan had a check-up with the pulmonologist. This is that twice a year (or so) appointment he'll have probably for the next year or two. Figures that Evan had a little cold, cough and fever over the past weekend! We didn't want the doc to hear him all congested and wheezy, but alas (Murphy's Law I guess).
The doc wasn't overly concerned with his wheezing and congestion, but more with his lack of weight gain. Evan still is right around (or below) the 16 pound mark. He's now starting to really fall off the height/weight chart, even when it's adjusted for his prematurity. He looks like a perfectly proportioned 5 month old who can crawl and almost walk! He suggested we see a nutritionist; not sure if there is one down here in Sierra Vista, but he could refer us to one in Tucson.
We did get a stop-order on his home oxygen. So now we can return the tanks to Apria. They've been collecting dust since about January! Since he's been wheezy, we're giving him the albuterol treatments again.
**Weight Check:
- 16 lbs.
- 27 inches
