Day 72

Well, we've made it through the first 24 hours, so maybe we'll get to stay on the floor this time! :) He's been pretty calm all day, and sleeping for most of it. He hasn't been acting like himself, and we can tell something's going on... They looked in his ears, and he has another ear infection. I feel so bad for him, but I'm also a little relieved that it may be something easily fixable. With everything he's been through here, we always think worst case scenario, and sometimes we forget to think about the normal baby issues that might still come up. He'll start antibiotics tonight, and hopefully that will help him out a little bit. I'm so ready to see those happy smiles again- we waited so long for them!!

He's still pukey, but we're going to try a few things differently tomorrow to see if we can help him out. I pray we can... He's so pathetic when he's getting sick all of the time! We're also not having much luck with speech therapy and getting him to eat by mouth again. Maybe if we can get his stomach issues under control, it might be a little easier to push him along. We've pretty much accepted the fact that he'll be going home with a feeding tube and pump- if we get to go home- but it would still be nice to have some forward motion happening!

My mother-in-law is going to stay up here with him tomorrow so Trent and I can go home and take care of a few things... I know she'll be fine with him, but say a little extra prayer for her too please. I know he can be a handful if these antibiotics kick in and he gets to feeling better! :)
