Trevor seems to be feeling a lot better today. Just a bit of nose issue remains, but he went all out spazz crazy today as if to make up for being held back by illness over the weekend. He just wanted to pull and tear and slap and shake everything and jump and crawl fast and yell. It was about all I could handle!

I had a lot of phone calls to make this morning to schedule lots of appointments for Brendan, but Trevor decided that he was going to help.

We set up one of the old mini cribs in our bedroom when Caleb was here so that he had a place to nap quietly. We haven’t taken it down yet and it actually has been very useful. It is a great “holding pen” for Trevor when I need to use the bathroom or get dressed or even to get my shoes on without crazy t escaping.
I put him in there today and he thought it was a bouncy house or something. He was a nut! This is a long video of him just being a bit silly.

He went to Sam’s Club with me to get groceries and he got to try out his new cart cover. It fit perfectly, so much better than trying to use blankets.

“What does this thing do?”

After almost forgetting the diaper bag, I joked with Brendan’s nurse that you NEVER leave home without the diaper bag, no matter how short the trip. I am so glad I remembered it because by the time we made it back to the car, the new cart cover was pooped and Trevor’s shorts were all soaked with poop. I had a couple of old blankets in the car to spread out. Getting a diaper on Trevor is already like trying to tie a snake in a bow, changing him in the back seat of the car was a riot. Good thing I just bought two cases of baby wipes.

Once we were done there, I had to stop for gas and Trevor got to go for his first car wash. I should have just tied him to the outside of the car! He was not real happy with the drive through wash.

Brendan is still not great. I spoke to his pulmonologist’s office today and they ordered a culture of his trach to see if there is any reason he needs to be on antibiotic. She also ordered his breathing treatments to be used via the nebulizer to help open up his lungs if he can not maintain his saturations. Unless he spikes a fever (which there has been none) or starts requiring a lot more oxygen, we just have to keep giving this time.

In the meantime, he is just supposed to rest.

His mood isn’t too bad, he is just tired and congested. He spent some time web surfing with Dad this evening.

One day at a time, we just hope things get better soon!
