Our week has been pretty busy now that my school semester is in full swing again. I had Monday off but I had to take Xander to a Dermatology appointment. He has had this really weird looking wart for months now and nothing we have tried has gotten rid of it. This is probably our tenth visit to the dermatologist for treatment. Instead it has just grown bigger. Xander used to say he had a house for the virus living on his thumb. The other day he told me the house has turned into an apartment complex and I think he may be right.
Xander was excited because I took him up to see Ronan after his appointment and let him pick out a special lunch. On the walk to our car in the hospital parking lot Xander found a bunch of cocoons hanging from a fire hydrant He had to watch them for a few minutes in hopes that they would crack open in front of him.
Ronan is doing ok but still in the hospital. I talked to the doctors some and told them how I felt about everything. They modified his pediasure intake a little and started him on continuous night feeds. Basically he gets an ounce of pediasure an hour for nine hours through the night through his tube. He has a pump that pumps it at a steady rate.
His glucose levels have been ok since they are feeding him almost continually now They were also talking about how he's gained a couple of pounds. But I know he's gained because he's on such a high amount of IV fluids and sugar drip. I know when he comes off of that he will probably go back down again. Right now everything is still wait and see.
Some other child who was in the hospital was given a lot of balloons by friends and family and wanted to share what he had with other kids in the hospital. Ronan got to have one of the balloons. He loved it and played with it most of the morning.
I had another ultrasound today. Baby is looking great. They are going to do another ultrasound in a month then every two weeks and then once I hit 32 weeks I will go twice a week for nonstress tests and ultrasounds. If anything looks concerning they will move the tests and ultrasounds closer together. If she stops growing she will be delivered early. The tech confirmed she is indeed a girl.
Inara is reverting to babyhood. She found a pacifier with some baby things and thought she would demonstrate its use. She never used a paci when she was little just her two fingers. She thought she was pretty funny with the paci in her mouth.
We dug out the boys' school desks. They had been put away when we moved out for renovation this summer. I think they stay focused much better with their own little area.
