Cami (8 weeks) laughing at Ethan.
Ethan and Cami, having a chat. Ethan is so attentive to his little sister. He gets so excited when she acknowledges him.

Ok Aunt Amy...here is a pic of Chase's cauliflower ear. Do you see it? It is the same size as the other one, it just looks different.

Sweet Cami girl with her purple face.
Cami did not do well on the thickened feeds that they had us start after her first swallow study in February. I pumped for 2 weeks (what a BEATING) and then got thrush, which turned into mastitis. So, I started nursing again. When I went to the doctor, they put Gentian Violet on me to clear up the thrush (it didn't work) and when Cami ate she got a little on her face!! We finally got the mastitis and thrush under control. Then went back for her repeat swallow study, she is still aspirating...not quite as bad as before but bad enough to still need thicker feeds. As of today, she is still nursing. We are sort of taking it one day at a time. She had 2 ounces of formula at two consecutive feedings after the first study and it upset her tummy really bad, so at this point we feel like formula would do more harm than good. She is much happier when she gets to nurse, she spits up less, and sleeps better. Pumping is really not a feasible option since I have 4 kids to keep up with so for now, she will continue nursing. She goes to the pedi tomorrow for her 2 month checkup, so I am sure I will get yelled at.
