Toby is now 8 months old. He is a few ounces shy of 20 pounds. He is a happy baby. He has his first 2 teeth. They are both bottom teeth. He has been rolling from belly to back to belly to back and belly to get anywhere he wants to go. He doesn't go more than about 5 feet before rolling back towards his starting point.
He has started showing love. I have been the recipient of several mega kisses and multiple hugs. He is such a sweet, loving little guy.
Lance and Stanley took him to Riley for his follow up appointment, today. Dr. Jalou said he sounded 90% better and is happy with the way his breathing sounds. Her explanation of the bronchoscopy is that he had 3 different strains of bacteria growing in his lungs and the medicine that they gave him was the strongest one that he could be given without hospital observation. It was part of the Sulfa family. Turns out Toby is allergic to the Sulfa drugs. Evidently, his Grandma Hofmann and his Great Grandpa Gumbel suffer(ed) from the same allergy. Regardless, Dr. Jalou said he received enough of the medicine to knock out the infection!
Toby's smile is more of an open mouth :)
