We've had a sick couple weeks here at the Lawrence household. I am finally on the mend. Poor Gabe started with a cold on Friday night. His fever got up to 102. He was so pittiful. He slept in our bed that night so we could snuggle with him and watch him close. This is not something I plan on making a habit, but it was nice to do it since we have never been able to with the overnight feeds. He's feeling better today, but is still a little drainy. He has been off night time feeds for about two and a half weeks now. His weight on Friday showed that he lost about 7oz. I was pretty disappointed. It took him a week to adjust to the daytime feed schedule and now he's been sick and not eating well so it doesn't suprise me totally that his weight it down. We go back in 2 weeks for another weight check and if he's still down, then we might have to change something. I'm really going to try to advocate not going back to night time feeds.
We are starting to see our PT's assistant this week. She is nice and we are hoping Gabe responds to her a little more. We really like our current PT, but Gabe freaks out when he sees him, so we are hoping this new face will trick him for at least a couple visits. Gabe continues to walk in his walker, but he still is unsure that he has 2 diffent legs that don't have to move at the same time. He still protests crawling. We are working on abdominal strength. I keep getting the feeling that as soon as he gets strong enough, he's going to do everything all at once....at least I hope.
