I just wanted to let you all know that our nursing care has been extended for another month. This time, we got notice early enough that there should be no break in Michael's care. This is great news since we unfortunately had no help this past weekend. Sunday nurse had other committments, and our night nurse had an emergency and was not available. Thank goodness my Mom was here!

Michael and his parents had their pictures taken at Sears this Saturday, and he did very well. Better than we did, that is for sure!

This coming week is full of doctor visits -- four in fact, but hopefully we will have more progress to report after they are over. In the meantime, the kiddo refuses to drink by mouth, which is frustrating beyond belief. In an effort to stave off what seems to be a growing oral aversion, he is allowed tastes of baby bananas a few times a day, and he thinks they are GREAT! He is the first baby I've ever met who doesn't thrust his tongue out to reject solid (mush?) food. I swear, he doesn't even need a bib! Well, if it keeps him active in the mouth, we will do what we need to do. More on this as it progresses.
