Year 2 – Week 25 – Day 3

I didn’t take many pictures today, it was all about trying to keep Brendan feeling good and to keep Trevor entertained. Brendan had a decent day as long as we kept the Motrin and Tylenol going. You could tell when it was starting to wear off and his fever would creep up and he would feel terrible.
Tonight I got worried because he hit 104 and his sats were sitting in the low 70’s with a heart rate near 200bpm. The on call doctor at the pediatrician’s office apparently didn’t deem it necessary to call me back when he/she was paged. I put cool towels on his head and rocked him until he could have his next dose of Motrin and go to bed. He got past that spell and is doing better now, cool as a cucumber and not wanting to sleep.

Brendan is chewing on his pulse-ox probe plug after I told Trevor he could not. You would never guess which baby was not feeling well from this picture!

Trevor finished up his broccoli like a good boy and he is signing “please” for the rest of his dinner.

He is celebrating cousin Ashley’s birthday with fish and chips! Not from Fibber Magee’s pub, more like Gorton Ore-Ida’s. I told him that the fries were hot, so he was blowing on them!

This was his first try of Ketchup and he approves.

I look up as I am typing and this is what I see. He is calling me too, but he doesn’t have his PMV on so he just makes little squeaks.

He is back to feeling better and he wants to play but his numbers still are yucky. We have no nurse tonight, so I am hoping that he finally goes to sleep and gets lots of rest.

We hope cousin Ashley had a fantastic 9th birthday! Big hugs from everyone!
