Maybe not so normal

S3 is still doing well as far as his appearance and healing. However, he still is not eating or drinking very well. Sunday he didn't hold lunch (the mac and cheese) or dinner (fruit smoothie) down. Unfortunately for my Aunt Wrae, he was in her lap when he lost dinner. Monday he awoke with his eyes swollen shut. Luckily as he sat up he was able to see better but still through small slits. We gave him some anti-nausea medication and he was able to hold down some oatmeal and peaches. He then went for a wagon ride and then played in the toy room for an hour. Then it was back to his room for a bath and a FOUR hour nap! When he woke up I couldn't get him interested in eating so he drank the majority of a vanilla shake and a few fries and called that lunch. But it also stayed down. He played in the playroom for another hour and even got a visit from dad. Then he fell asleep at 6 pm and slept through the night so no dinner for him.

Each time after he sleeps his eyes swell shut and it takes a while for them to open up again so this morning he woke up blind again but soon his right eye was open a bit and he was ready to hit the road running again. Breakfast was only four slices of canned peaches, I couldn't get him to eat more or show any interest in his oatmeal today. He wouldn't even try the chocolate milk shake. But he also didn't get any anti-nausea stuff today so maybe he is still feeling queasy. The short story is that if he eats and drinks well at lunch, once he wakes up from the nap he is currently taking, then we can go home later today. If not, we are here until tomorrow. I'll write again in a little while to tell you about the great Halloween we've had here so far!
