The past week or so Cole has finally managed to manouver himself in such a way that he can grab hold of his feet, or more accurately I should say, his big toe! It's not an easy feat and cannot be accomplished without the demonstrated side roll!I'm on my second day caffeine free today... I like my coffee and it was not something I wanted to give up. When I initially started drinking a cup of coffee after feeding in the AM (when Cole was about 1 month) it didn't seem to bother him. Somewhere along the way though it does appear that he's become more caffeine sensitive and the little to no napping he was doing was wearing down both of us! I've been trying to troubleshoot this issue for the longest time... I kept reading in books about watching your caffeine intake but dismissed it as it didn't have any effect when I added it in. What a relief it is to have finally determined the cause!
More good news, Jeff's results from his tests have all come back negative. The latest doctor he saw diagnosed him with excessive stomach acid. Similar to reflux but it doesn't actually come up it just stays in his stomach. He's on medication now and feeling much better. "Its like I have a brand new stomach"! (Jeff)
Cole's 1st visit to the orthopedic clinic for his helmet went well. They did a head scan there and printed us off different views as they explained what areas would be focused on. Cole will be getting his helmet this Friday.
