The Present


A few days ago they started Critter on some antibiotics and some steroids to help his rash. The steroids can make him irritable but they can also make him hungry. He is eating a little more. It kinda depends on the day. Sunday he ate an adequate amount of food. Today he didn't eat quite as much. But the best news is that his rash is looking soooo much better! It is still peeling but it looks like it is healing now. Its not all better but is at least not looking worse day by day. He did fall and bump his chin and of course his thin skin tore and he now has a chin strap shaped sore on his chin. I promise underneath all those sores and rashes there is a very cute little boy! Some of the funnest news is that Critter is finally walking! I think some of his drugs have made him a little dizzy or unbalanced. He was really steady at home and then regressed in the hospital. But Sunday he started letting go of things and walking on his own! All day today he roamed around trying to get used to his legs. I am so proud of him. Even with all he has been through he is still putting one foot in front of the other. I know I have said it a million times but we are so blessed to have such a strong little boy. I think I would have laid down and given up long ago.

  1. He is such a beautiful little boy, you just see those big blue eyes looking so sweetly at the camera. It is emotional to see him suffer, he is so strong. You are such wonderful parents, we continue to pray for you and your family.
