update

Today is post-op day 2:

Yesterday was a good day. Eli ate pretty good - pancakes, ramen noodles, jell-o, pudding. He also drank fairly good. We were told that he should drink 2-3 times more than he usually does.....we didn't meet that. I didn't attempt to wake him up in the middle of the night since he doesn't normally accept that very well. At 5:30 Trent went up to have him drink and take some Tylenol. He refused a couple of times and then gave in.

Today, he isn't eating so well. I made him pancakes and eggs for breakfast and he only picked at it a little. Then mac-n-cheese for lunch and he only took about 3 bites :( Drinking hasn't been going so well either. I think he's about around 10 ounces! UGH! He should be at like 30!!! His pain is under control with the Tylenol. Today was also the last day for his ear drops - thank God because he doesn't really like those. (We had a bad experience with eye drops so when I say ear drops he freaks a little and is quickly reminded of the eye drops. I reassure him its for his EARS and that it doesn't hurt...it just kind of tickles...but I don't even really know). Right now he is eating string cheese. He doesn't really go for the really cold stuff so it's hard to entice him with ice cream and yogurt and mr. freeze pops...so hopefully he gets hungry enough here that he'll eat supper! Overall, he's doing pretty good and in good spirits. He woke up from his nap and said "Mommy I'm starting to feel much better....can I have some candy?"

Molly and I made homemade play dough today. Molly wanted purple but it turned out more of a mauve color and we made blue for Eli. It kind of feels weird, but it works and it says it should last 6 months!

Well, that's my update. Not much other than that going on around here. Just enjoying the fall-like weather :) Perfect for a little boy who can't really do a whole lot of running around.

Have a wonderful evening!!!

Check back for more updates & hopefully I'll have some fun posts soon!!
