we are still chilling at Children's Mercy. on friday owen was taken back off clears. which means he can't have anything by mouth. :-( poor little guy hasn't actually had a bite to eat anything besides jello since friday the 12th at home before we brought him here. his condition with the stomach/intestinal infection hasn't improved at all at this point. dr said that the antibiotic could take up to 14days to start working and he is on day 7. sounds like we won't be out of here anytime soon. not eating is really starting to mess with his head. he talks about food/eating in some way non-stop. he has his first meal when we leave planned down to every last crumb.....where we are going to buy it on the way home and how fast i have to make it. he's had it planned since saturday :-( he's been imagining that his potty seat is made of marshmallows. over the weekend he had his finger in his mouth and i told him to get it out and he said "i could eat it, my teeth are strong enough".....i'm pretty sure he was serious!!!! right now as i'm typing this he is sitting on the potty quizzing me on all my favorites.....breakfast, drink, dip, pasta shape...etc. poor little guy, i hope he gets better soon. i try to tell him let's talk about something else but then he gets sad because he wants to go home. to make matters worse right now liv has been sick :-( today she stayed at nicks parents house today with nicks grandma and looks like that will be the plan tomorrow. last night my mom and natalie took turns staying the night with owen so nick and i could both stay home with liv and noah. tonite nick is at home and his mom will come over at 5am when nick leaves for work to take care or liv and noah. thanks everyone for all the help!!!
owen and noah playing toy story match game. it was so sweet!!! these two have a mutual dislike for each other but i know deep down they really do love each other.
noah planking at the hospital!!!!......you like that nat and jill?!?!?
getting ready to take noah to his first day of pre-school at CCVI. he had to go without owen. my mom sat with owen while i took him.
such a big boy!!! he is going to CCVI on monday and wednesday for pre-school as a peer model. livi did this a few years ago. it is a great program. noah's teacher was also owen's first teacher. :-) i love CCVI!!!
toady owen's favorite child life specialist came and played with him. she brought this green ball that they bounced all around the room. he giggled so much it was healing to my soul!!!! he even got out of bed and stretched his legs. he hasn't really walked on them since we've been here so it was good to see him on two feet. ps...owen just asked me if it is good or disgusting to put honey mustard on a hot dog? :-(
Poor guy, that is how I feel every time I go on a diet. I just think about food all the time. I can't imagine physically not being able to eat. I would go crazy.
