Brendan is most definitely feeling better and his numbers are gradually improving more and more. It is a huge relief to see the O2 sats come up. It was an odd Thursday to have Nurse Jen with us, so I decided to take Trevor out so that Brendan would play with her and not be distracted. The weather was too gorgeous to pass up the chance to get outside.

Back to the zoo we go! This time we remembered the hat and drink!

We went to a different section this time, first the reptile/amphibian house. He liked the frogs because they were moving. He didn’t care about the still snakes and lizards.

He loved the prairie dogs. They were VERY active, squeaking and fighting, and also stretching out to sun themselves.

We must have gone too early for the tiger, he was just waking up

Trevor had to be like the other kids at the tiger exhibit. He loves kids. He was walking up to strollers and saying hi to babies too.

He still loves vehicles

Rhinos are serious

We did one of the special exhibits today – the giraffe encounter. We got in line early so we were one of the first ones on the deck.

Trevor got to give the tallest giraffe a few pieces of lettuce

I fed the giraffe a little kibble of Giraffe Chow

These giraffes know how to pose for pictures

When we got home, Trevor got some lunch and then he took a 3hr nap. It was perfect because I could leave him home with Bill (working) and Jen and I could take Brendan to his checkup. Trevor slept the whole time and didn’t even realize we had left the house.
Brendan was in the Cars theme room at the doctor’s today.

The doctor says he sounds so much better, his color was better, he was breathing better, his ears were still a little red but much improved. Most of all, his sats are better! We still have not turned the oxygen down but right now he is sleeping and he is at 84-88% instead of the 73-78% where he was hanging a few days ago. Doc wants a follow up chest xray in 6 weeks just to see how he healed.

Tonight, Brendan was a spazz. He pulls up to stand on just about anything now!

He is getting more confident about reaching out for things.

Teamwork at its finest.

It is funny how cute the boys can be together and then how much jealousy there is. Trevor is having a hard time adjusting and doesn’t like Brendan playing with some of “his” favorite toys. Like his chomp and clack!
Brendan is jealous of Mommy-time with Trevor and tries to climb on to my lap anytime Trevor is with me.

Here’s another video montage for today, this time it is more Brendan focused. And he does something pretty cool!
