Week 32 – Day 6

There were far too many cute pictures today. We did so many things, it was hard to pick out the best ones.

Trevor had some cute Daddy time

Brendan had some more floor time playing on his tummy, sitting up, spending time with Trevor.

I love pictures of them together. Brendan usually smiles big at Trevor and Trevor looks at Gramma like he is asking, “When does this baby stop visiting?”

Brendan’s head control improves every day

Brendan did an hour and twenty minutes off of the vent today. He was in a great mood too but needed a lot of extra suctioning. Bill went and bought another suction machine for him today and ran it so that the loud compressor part was in the bathroom and that there was a switch by the bed to turn it on and off. Now when his trach needs to be suctioned, we don’t have to startle him with a 70db compressor going on and off.

While Brendan slept and recovered from his sprint, Gramma and I took Trevor down the street to Bailey’s house to swim. The pool was a little cooler this time, he wasn’t as excited as the last swimming time!

He did finally get in to it and swam around

Trevor loves dogs. Maggie-Moo came to say hello!

Drying off in a monkey towel

Back in his hat and ready to go home. He got a second bath to get all the chlorine off of him, then dinner and to bed. He was pretty worn out!

Once Trevor was down, we all had to do the rest of the Brendan tasks for the day. He got his bubble bath and massage first but then he needed a trach change. This is a process that happens once a week that takes a lot of prep and planning and very careful action. It went very smoothly tonight and Brendan settled very quickly once I picked him up. He is sound asleep now and his night nurse should be here any time.

  1. So glad things are going so well. I am sure everyone is more relaxed with Brendan at home and he appears to be loving it! Happy Monday!

  2. Brendan, you are lucky you have a mechanically inclined Daddy who knows how to run compressor lines and such! It’s good to see Brendan doing well and finally getting to work on some regular baby things. Trevor will be a little fish in no time. Any teeth yet?
