He as also broken out with a skin rash. It starts off as a large hide
then turns to a larger area of red. The rash comes and goes quickly
across his limbs and face. Not his tummy nor back.
His fever is gone and still having wet BM's. We'll continue with
Pedialyte but will reintroduce rice cereal tonight (with water instead
of milk).
As for us, we are hanging in there. :)
It's 4am and Caden woke up for the first time all night. Unlike the previous nights at every three hours. He still had a Wet BM but his rash is looking better, now using Butt Paste, and his temperature has leveled off.
We moved him off the BRAT diet for a more simple approach for his bowels, Pedialyte. We'll continue this approach into today (Sat) and monitor him for changes. If his BM stays wet we'll need to have a blood test performed to see if there is something else bothering him and maybe place him on an IV. If his BM hardens then we are on the right track and will reintroduce carbs to him at a slow pace.
Caden had a fever last night and had bowel movements every three
hours. He has the worst diaper rash I have ever seen. It was a long
night and the same for today. Given he has had a wet BM for a few
days, we'll be seeing the Dr. this afternoon to see what we can do. We
have already taken him off veggies and fruit and going with the "BRAT"
diet, minus the "toast".
Catherines surgery on her wrist went well on Monday buy she is
feeling a lot of pain today.
I on the other hand have a sinus infection.
We're all a mess with the exception of Boone!

Today on Consumer Action Line it is stated that Safeway has been overcharging customers and now paying a fine for this practice. Here is the story:
"Look for new signs to be posted at the checkout counters of Safeway stores offering customers $5 when the registers ring up the wrong price. The company will also pay $2.7 million in civil penalties and investigation costs. Safeway is not the only store plagued with overcharging. Watch your receipts carefully. I have been over charged more than once at Target and Lucky. The problem stems from improper or delayed updating of prices in the computer systems that feed the checkout scanners. If you are overcharged, report it to your local county weights and measures. The hotline number in Santa Clara County is (866) 722-6637. By reporting overcharges, you become part of the solution to this widespread problem." main link
Caden turned 8 months in Sat. Spend a couple days helping Barb & Roy move to their new home. We had a quick sun shower yesterday with thunder which was a lot of fun but this storm brought in lightning with it. California acquired 100 new wild land fires because of it. I can't tell if there are any new fires by us but the morning smells of smoldering fire which could be from any of the previous three we had in the last month.
... more teeth!
Caden appears to be working on breaking through his two top teeth! His saliva has increased, similar to when his bottom two teeth came in. He also appears to have more pain, similar to but not exactly like he did with his first teeth. Good for him.
PowerPoint (PPT) is a single instance app but you can fake it out with IE. Single instance meaning you can only open one window of PPT but you can access multiple slides in that window. Unlike Excel or Word you can have many windows opened showing different sheets or docs. Having two instances of PPT running allows you to easily compare to slides side-by-side.
To access multiple instances of PPT follow either step;
Another option is to create another user on your system and use the runas command.
As seen in my last two picture postings, I found a new app that allows you to add comic word ballons to a picture. Way cool app! called "SuperLame!".
Trying to give Mom some extra time to herself, Caden decided to take me to the park on Sunday.
He has been to the park many many times before but I think this was the first time he sat in the grass without a blanket underneath him. He appeared to love it! He moved his hands through the grass, constantly squeezing it, pulling it and drooling on it. :O

Looks like by posting a video via the iPhone or the PC creates a picture of the video with the actual video. I'll have to open a ticket with blogger to get this addressed. Sorry for the confusing video posting of this.
Here's a video I quickly took as Caden was waking up. Notice how he now sleeps on his tummy!
Usually Lady Catherine wakes Caden up during the weekdays but this morning I had the opportunity. I must say, what a beautiful sight it was seeing him laying on his tummy sound asleep. So I did what any new Dad would do, I ran out and grabbed the camera to share the sight. Doesn't he look so darn cute! [click the photo to enlarge it]
By the way we normally let him fuss things out and fall back to sleep
on his own. I went down to see what the deal was as he has had a few
blow outs the last couple days. Really big ones.
As I type this Caden is moving around a lot in his bed. I'm thinking
of sneaking in there with my red light to watch him....maybe I
shouldn't as I'd hate to disturb him. Don't want him to see me and
think it's time to play! ;)
These days Caden has become more sturdy with his balance and gravity
pull ;) Sitting up on his own and rolling onto his tummy are his
latest feats. He really enjoys walking and yells out while he tip
toes. The yells are more like mouse yelps, very high pitched.
Here is a black & white of him sitting up in his crib. I'll post more
color shots after this posting.
Indeed China has decided to support the growing concern that disposbls
chop sticks harm the environment. So thy banned the use of disposables
at the 08 Olympics. One must also note that China is the worlds
largest producer of the disposable. Can you guess the amount? 63
billion a year.
The cost is $4.23, lowest in the zip code according to gasbuddy.com
I was in line for about 25 min, not bad.
Sent via my way cool iPhone :)
I read a short blog today that presumed a Police Officer with the Los Gatos Police Department lost a handgun. Ouch! Full report here
After unlocking my iphone I noticed a 3rd party video app. It works great so far but not freeware. Here I posted a video, via my iphone, of Caden in his rolling saucer trying to open the cabinets. Classic! :)
I see that two items were posted by the video app, one is the actual movie the other is a picture of the opening of the movie. Firefox is not associated with opening an RTSP protocol so the launch fails. What is more interesting is editing this post through blogger I do not see the tags associated with this picture. So I can't remove it.
