Some firsts



Tucker was having some very stuffy days last week. On Friday morning he woke up and he was wheezing. Off to Dr. Ola's office we went. She said that it was something viral but that he was having to work hard to breathe. So we had to use the above device to attach his inhaler to. The funnel part went over his nose and mouth. He got to the point where he knew what was going to happen when we put it on his face and did really well with it. After being on the inhaler for 48 hours he is doing much better. We only have to do it now when he starts wheezing again.

While we were at the doctor we got his weight again, he is up to 9 lbs 6 oz! On the preemie growth chart he is almost to the 50th percentile for his weight.




Dr. Ola wanted to make sure that nothing else was going on with Tuckers lungs so we headed to Texas Childrens to get a chest   x-ray. This was his first one where he had to be held down by mommy and the nurse and he didn't like it. The chest x-ray came back clear.





Mimi, cousins EmmyKate and Easton, and Mommy took Tucker for his first photo shoot for his 3 month old pictures. He did good for the first half but after the clothes change he wanted to have nothing to do with taking pictures, as you can see from above.
