So we're all fancy now compliments of the lovely Jessica Kirk. I swear, there is nothing that girl can't make cute! I know I've plugged her website before, but she's added more adorable stuff, so check her out at http://pigtailspolkadots.blogspot.com/
Will had a good day today. My parents went to see him and he was a happy boy. The physical thereapists are working with him and they left a list of exercises to do with him. they also posted a note telling his nurses to lay him down facing to the left. He prefers to have his head facing right, and they generally lay him down that way. The problem is, his head is starting to get flat on the right side! They have to alternate him so his skull doesn't become misshapen. If it does, he would have to wear a helmet to reshape his head. The kid has got enough going on without having to wear some goofy helmet! He did an amazing job on his bottle feeding today. He took 15 cc's both times with no problem at all. He had been taking 10, so this is a big step. His neck is still looking kind of rough, so they're bringing in the ostomy nurse to look at it again. I personally think it's because they haven't been as careful with his trach care as they need to be.
we're still trying to get a meeting with all of his doctors. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but they haven't been able to get in touch with the ENTs, so now we're trying for Thursday. Lets hope we can finally get everyone together.
Hays had a good day. I think his stomach is getting back on track. He's really getting on a schedule (finally) and that helps the day move more smoothly. Now if I could just get him to sleep later in the morning. He's up between 5:30 and 6. I can usually feed him and get him to go back to sleep in his swing so I can catch a few more winks on the couch. But the days he doesn't are incredibly looooong!
Lastly, proof that Mason is watching too much TV: You've probably seen the lysol commercial where it says something like "If you're using a dirty sponge, you might as well be doing this," Then it shows a woman wiping down the counter and refrigerator handle with a piece of raw chicken. (blech) Well, tonight I had some chicken breasts out as I was getting ready to fix dinner. Mason looked at them for a minute, then said "hey mommy, you might as well be doing this." Then he mimed cleaning off the kitchen door handle with the chicken! Nice, right? Oh well, maybe he has a future in acting!
