To test positive for cystic fibrosis, you need a chloride count of 60 or higher in your sweat. Tyler's count was 17 so he definitely doesn't have it. No surprise there, but again we're just going through the motions to figure out what he does have. He's been doing great since we ended the antibiotics for pneumonia six days ago. But last night while I was on the phone, Tyler went into a tizzy because all he wanted was attention from Mommy. Shawn tried everything but Tyler cried so hard for so long that the wheezing started up again. I had to cut my conversation short but it wasn't the first time. We're nervous his allergy test will come back showing allergies to dogs. He loves his dog. But we've already decided it wouldn't be the end of the world if Chili had to become an outdoor dog.
Daycare sent an accident report home last night. He fell against the toyshelf and hit his head. This is probably the sixth accident report, and all past accidents have been on the same toyshelf. You'd think he would learn to stay away from it, but that's where all the toys are, luring him in. No big deal, just a little bruise on the forehead to which they "applied a cold compress and lots of TLC." We laughed because that's what every report says. Must be the standard procedure for completing an accident report. They also sent home his daily report saying he ate thirds of everything for lunch. Everything included peas, potatoes and chicken strips. He eats better than I do for lunch, and he's getting to the point of eating more than I do--and I'm eating for two! At dinner we made ravioli and I set two large ones aside for him. After he inhaled those, I had to give him two from my plate then frantically searched through the fridge while he begged for more. So in addition to four big raviolis (I probably ate a total of six) he had some pork chop, a banana, tomatoes and some spinach salad. This kid is definitely not a picky eater!
