I don't have much new to report, but I think we've had a slightly better day than yesterday. His vomiting is improving- barely- and he had a few happier moments this evening. He's still so up and down, it's hard to say that he's feeling better, because then he turns around and looks horrible again. Poor baby. :( Maybe we're on an upswing though... It would be great if he could catch a break for a couple of days!
We tried turning his oxygen off again this afternoon, but he still seems to need it. Maybe once he stops throwing up all of his meds, they'll start working a little better? I think that's how they work...
We're for sure holding off on the surgery, since it's not a necessity at the moment. If it becomes a problem at any point, we won't have a choice, but for now we wait. Most of us have decided that the malrotation isn't the culprit anyway, at least not for these symptoms.
On a good note, we made some progress in speech therapy today. Even though he's sick, they still want to work with him each day, so that we don't lose any of the progress we've already made. He took a few bites of vanilla pudding (granted, I stuffed them in his mouth when he was distracted- but he didn't gag, and he actually swallowed them), and he also drank about 1/2 an ounce of water out of his cup. That's the best session we've had since they started working with him, so it gives me a little bit of hope. (Of course, he threw it all up within five minutes, but that's beside the point... We have to look at the bright side of things around here. :)
