I’m starting this post with gratitude: thank goodness we have a break in the weather! Now if we could just catch a break with all of the sickness. Marshall’s sickness from last week resolved but has evolved into new yech. The runny nose he developed after the ER trip has progressed to terrible congestion, low […]
Despite viral mucks (we have progressed from GI to upper respiratory) and the scary events of this week, our little miracle got his “normal” baby shots today :/. Here’s to good health and spring…I hope. So many thanks for the good thoughts. Please keep sending them. Love and hugs ❤
We saw Dr S after a long day at Upstate. The echo looks the same as before. Marshall ate and ate and ate and ate. Then played. And smiled. And tried to crawl around (for the first time in days.) They gave fluids and may give more. We have to hold the duiretic until tomorrow […]
Or prayers. Or whatever you believe. Marshall’s had a really bad gi upset since Thursday. For one so small, I have never seen so much sick. We saw his pediatrician this a.m. Those ladies made him smile – something I couldn’t do at home. For them and that (and so much more) I am so […]
…with four sleeping boys having a vacation sleepover in a little cabin by a stream…
Marshall saw his fantastic team at the pediatrician today. And they gave us some reassurance: the (again scary) gi stuff should resolve within a week… Small. Sigh. We are still waiting for the labs and brain eeg results…here’s to hope. Thank you so much for the good thoughts and prayers. Please keep them coming if […]
Marshall grew to 8.64 kg and is doing well enough to not return to Dr smith until mid may! The gradient measures at 6 = no change!! And the function is improving slowly. Whew for now :-):-):-):-):-):-):-) We have to go to boston in July for follow up and cath…we will worry about that then […]
The sunshine today inspired me to treat the wild boys to ice cream from “Gigglands” (aka Gilligan’s to all you non-wild boy folks 😉 ). We stayed in the car because despite the slightly higher than ridiculously cold temperatures, I just didn’t want to drag the foursome in and out of the ice cream place. […]
Marshall had a panel of allergy labs drawn last week. The results are in. The good news is he isn’t allergic to dogs. The not so good news is he seems to be allergic to the big allergens: peanuts, milk, eggs, casein, and other things I can’t pronounce or spell. I won’t feed him wheat […]
I generally avoid pics of Marshall with medical equipment but this one needs to be shared. Just hours after the pic on the left was was taken, our 9 day old, five pound, 5 days out of the or recovering baby pulled his ng tube out. That’s just one of the early “glimmers” we saw […]
