Year 3 – Week 31 – Day 7

This is always an exciting day every year. It is the 3rd birthday of my very awesome nephew, Caleb. Happy Birthday to you, Caleb!! It is also the 2yr anniversary of Brendan’s homecoming following his very long and frightening stay in the hospital. I also was super excited because the lens I that ordered yesterday afternoon was delivered this morning!!

There were definitely ups and downs today. Trevor is still having trouble sleeping through the night. To be fair, his little nose still isn’t cleared up. He woke up at 4am, then at 5:15am and then decided at 6:30am that he was not going to go back to bed. He had a very cranky morning.

Brendan is back to needing oxygen today. He is a little wet and needing more suctioning again. The wireless days are so nice, it is hard going back to wires!
I thought he might like olives on a stick to lick.

He was interested in stacking them on the stick

But then… “Hey, Eins? Interested in some olives?”

Trevor doesn’t like them either, good thing Bill and I do!

Brendan is always full of surprises. Tonight he tore into a buttery waffle!

The most frustrating thing about today was regarding Brendan’s new button. We thought it should be here by now, so Bill called both the GI doctor and the supply company. Apparently there was a miscommunication and it wasn’t shipped. The supply company promised to hand deliver one this afternoon, which they did.
I was getting all ready to prep Brendan for a button change when we opened the package. They sent the old brand/style that we are currently using!! What a waste of a delivery! Now we have to call tomorrow and figure out what is going on and try to get the right button. This should have been resolved by now! This is simply the story of Brendan…

To end on a happy note, at bedtime I warmed up Trevor’s milk which I don’t usually do any more. I made it a little hot. When it was safe to drink, I gave it to him and he took a sip. He looked up with surprise and said, “Mmmmm! This is COFFEE!!”
