I didn’t take a whole lot of pictures today, it was busy. The only photo I got of Trevor was trying on his monkey pack. It was actually pretty funny because it touches the back of his head and he tried to get away from it, but it was attached to his back! It will take a little getting used to.

Brendan had a better day today. He is stabilizing a bit so hopefully by Friday he will feel better again for company. Dealing with his poor digestive system has been a handful, I won’t go in to detail. Nobody wants to talk about projectile vomiting bright yellow bile. He still needs almost constant trach tube suctioning which is hard on him. But today, he managed to do his full day of sprinting off vent.

I spotted another problem that would be giving Brendan trouble this week. Tooth number 6 cut through the gums on the lower left today. It is just through enough that you can catch a fingernail on it. There was no way that he was going to show the blog readers his new tooth.

He will brush them though, the new tooth doesn’t really show in this pic, it is too blurry

I would say that puts Brendan in the lead, 6 to 5 on teeth. But Trevor is cutting his second top center tooth, it is right there under a very thin layer of gum.

Poor Brendan just has had such bad luck this week. On top of everything else, he developed these weird spots all over his body.
I am just keeping an eye on them for now, I hope they are not contagious! I took a picture, don’t look if you are squeamish about these things.

The boys have received several packages now, the door bell has been busy. Medical supplies got delivered today too.
What kid doesn’t like a good cardboard box and packing material?

The living room is a total mess, time to go clean it up. I did everything I could to baby-proof the area so Trevor could roam freely while I suctioned Brendan over and over. He had a good time and I thought everything was protected from him and him from it.
But I look away for less than a minute and Trevor has the last bit of milk in his bottle and he is turning it upside down, milking the nipple with his fingers like a professional farmer with a cow. Formula all over the floor, he is splashing in it and spreading it around artistically.
Clean up wasn’t bad, but Trevor stinks like formula no matter how many baby wipes you use. He needs another bath!
