He is getting breathing treatments 2-3 times a day with Xopenex. The pulmonologist also prescribed something for his runny nose. I don't know what it is, and he hasn't started it yet because the pharmacy didn't have any yesterday. We will pick that up today.
Some specific prayer requests: please pray he doesn't get any worse with *whatever* he has. Please pray also for a hedge of protection around him as we are spending a lot of time at the hospital with my mom. Please pray for my mom. For those of you that don't know she had a small bowel obstruction. Her surgery was Monday. She was hoping to be home long before now, but she's had a few unforeseen setbacks that have delayed her discharge. She is doing well, but she is still in a lot of pain and is getting discouraged.
ANSWERS (You can probably figure out what questions were asked)
--Yes, he's been quite cranky with this illness, but it comes and goes. Sometimes I question whether he really is ill...he still acts like a wild and crazy nut at times
--No he hasn't been running a fever
--He weighs 15 pounds 13 ounces
--He has taken 7 steps by himself (falling on the 7th)
--He has a good appetite most of the time, but lately he hasn't wanted to eat much of anything
--He is starting to eat finely chopped, mushy, table-food
--He can hold is bottle, finally!
--He will only hold his bottle when HE wants to
--His favourite thing to play with is the dog's water dish (yes, it's a constant battle)
--He is wearing size 6-9 months, but he has started to wear some of his 12 month clothes
--He has not started drinking from a cup. Yes, we've introduced it. If you know of a sippy cup that will handle warm milk (the one's we have form an internal suction that makes it impossible for him to get anything out if the milk is warm) let me know.
--Before you ask...no he will not take cold milk or cold anything else for that matter.
