Update

Charlie is over his croup but after a trip to the doctor this morning we found out he now has an ear infection. Poor guy! Hasn't even started day care yet and already getting sick. He will be on an antibiotic for the next 10 days to clear it up.
We had a good meeting with Dr. Leyva-Vega this week about Charlie's reflux. She wants us to keep doing what we are doing. Giving him his Prevacid twice a day, trying to keep him upright at least 30 minutes after meals, sticking with the Alimentum formula and would like to see us back in 6 weeks. We learned that all babies reflux because their digestive systems are not fully developed but it just doesn't bother all babies. We also learned that as Charlie gets bigger, begins eating solid foods, is upright more (i.e. walking) this will all help ease his pain until he will no longer need any medication.



In case anyone was worried that Charlie had lost his trademark hair - don't be alarmed, he's still rocking it as only he can!
