Baltimore: Day 18 (August 4)

Today had a lot more going on than the past three days and rocked our boring boat a bit. Around 4:30 am Robbie decided to wake everyone up with an absolute stink bomb of a poop. This of course takes three people and 30 minutes to change, the whole time with him screaming, so going back to sleep isn't an option. Then he thought it was a good idea to stay up the rest of the day and not really fall back asleep until 3:00 pm.

Once he did fall asleep he stayed that way for the most part until he got another fever, this one was 102.3 degrees, but didn't stay around very long. Because of the height of the fever they had to take samples though, which required getting blood drawn. When he got stuck with the needle it must have hit the right button because he instantly unloaded again and started another 30 minute changing. This time though he settled quicker and actually had a good nights sleep and got rid of his fever.

They are going to lower his TPN (nutrition) and let him drink more milk Friday so this should make for an interesting day. We were lucky enough to have an extra set of hands in the late night changing as Mimi came down for the weekend and got to partake in yet another diaper changing. Friday also marks the two week mark in our journey and now we are 1/3 of the way there.
