This morning should have been simple. Bill took Aunt Shannon to the airport and then went to the office. We had a nurse working today and I was able to get a lot of cleaning and organizing done (really just scratching the surface of the big project). But then for the 3rd time in 3 days, Brendan threw up his feeding tube. I wish I could blame his little hook fingers for pulling it out, but it is not his fault. He just retches so hard when he gags that the tube comes up from the back of his throat and then out his mouth.
We had to put him through the ultimate torture AGAIN and put a new tube down. In order to try to prevent being four for four, we used a different type of tube. It is not quite as soft and flexible, so we are hoping that will help it stay down.
He promises to be good.
Brendan really loves for Trevor to spend time with him, especially when Trevor is talking.
We cleaned out the pack and play today and Trevor got to play in outer space again. He learned that if he rocks on his hands and knees, he can get the whole pack and play to sway and rock and all the toys go crazy too.
Trevor found his mirror baby, Rovert, several times in space today.
Trevor slept through the night again last night, I hope he does the same tonight. Brendan is getting his nights on a better schedule now also!
Happy Birthday America from the Lake House!!! Brendan, your “promise to be good” picture captures the essence of you!! Absolutely adorable!! Trevor, what adventures you are having in outer space!! You will be “Taking Off” soon!! (We actually thought you would be crawling out of the pack-and-play) Your cousins Emmy, Mikey and parents have been here at the Lakehouse and we have had so much fun keeping pace with Mom’s blogs!! When Aunt Shannon comes to visit, we want detailed reports on how all of you are doing!! And Brendan, way to go!! Yes, you have a lovely colon!! Also, if I had that feeding tube, maybe by now I would consider hurling it up too!! Are you trying to tell the doctors something??? We know, you are just trying to catch up to Trevor!!! You want green beans all over your face too! Trevor, you are the best medicine for your brother!! Prayers, many hugs and tons of love!! 🙂
Beware the Rovert!
If Li’l B really wants the green beans all over his face, I’m sure Rovert would be happy to assist. 🙂
