Baltimore: Day 26 (August 12)

Things are starting to get back on a normal track as we had a good day yesterday and have had a good day so far today. Robbie slept the most he has in a long time yesterday and today and the medicines seem to be working pretty well right now. We would still like him to sleep for longer periods of time, especially at night, but we will take what we can get right now.

We are still waiting on a good bowel movement and we are taking some more aggressive steps to get that done, with suppositories and some mild laxatives. Our concern being that if he gets constipated that it could cause problems with all work we had done in Cincinnati. We are hoping that he unloads here pretty soon and we can get in a routine.

He tolerated his feeds last night and we are now taking 30 cc's of food per hour, which is only 10 cc's away from where Nutrition wants us at. We would be there by now if they would just listen to Saree, but at least we are on the right path.

Mimi came into town last night so that is always nice to have a third person here to help out and let the other two get away and actually have someone to talk to and interact with. We are hoping to see some family friends this weekend, as Mindy and Tracy from San Antonio are in the area and we are going to try to meet up with them on Saturday if their schedule will allow. Other than that we are just back into our groove and now on the downhill slope of this journey. Today marks the halfway point for Robbie's recovery and we are hoping the second part of this goes faster than the first part.
