Synagis Shot and Weight Check

Colby had to go to the pediatrician today for his fifth Synagis Shot. Shots are never fun! The poor little guy probably feels like he is always getting poked! Fortunately, he did pretty well with it today. He of course cried, but he recovered quicker than I expected. Brody was sitting on the table next to him saying, "It's okay buddy! Don't cry Colby." He is such a great big brother and loves Colby so much! Colby is lucky to have him!

The weight check went great too. Colby now weighs 13 lb 8oz. This is up 8 oz in 9 days...not too bad, especially since he has been fighting a little cold this past week. I'm glad to see that he has gained weight. I was a little worried after our last weight check 9 days ago when he had lost 4 oz. Hopefully we are back on the gaining track now!

Colby only has one more Synagis shot left, which he will get at the end of March. This means RSV season is almost over! I have never before been so excited for spring to arrive! Please bring on the warmer weather!

Please keep Colby's little heart buddy, Cain, in your prayers. Cain was readmitted to Vanderbilt a few days ago and will probably stay through next week. He was admitted after having several diapers with blood in them. They are closely monitoring him and giving him nutrients through an IV. He will hopefully be able to start his feedings again on Sunday or Monday. You can read more about Cain at http://www.clinkscalesfamily.blogspot.com/.
