Ian is on the move :-)

We finally have to watch what ends up on the floor in all the rooms in the house! Ian is making huge leaps of progress in the gross motor area. He's now crawling into his sister's room, down the hall, into the bathroom, just wherever he feels like checking out. He's also pulling to a stand on his own, just about everywhere, and cruising in his crib. One of his favorite demo zones is his bookcase. Pulling every book off the bottom two shelves until he's completely surrounded.

For me, I'm feeling much better now that Mike has returned from another week away on business. I took myself to a movie at 4 in the afternoon yesterday and then headed to a bar/restaurant to work on images I had shot earlier in the week for a job. I actually did a photo job this past week. Crazy as it was, it felt good to get out of the crazed Mommy space for a few hours.

This week we see the dentist and the pulmonologist. Both will be interesting. Ian's got a mouth full of teeth now and I'm interested in how they are doing without enamel on them all. It's so tricky to try to brush them so it doesn't get done very often although I do wipe them down every night, which he'll kind of let me do.

In the pulmonary department, I'm really interested in having a conversation with Dr. Platzker for a couple reasons. Of course the sleep study results showing he needs 1 liter of continuous. We still continue to keep a log of when he's off between cannulas, after bath, etc and he's satting 97-100, even while sick. And of course, he's still sick. It's been weeks! Still wheezing, still coughing, although not as bad as earlier this week. I'm sure the steroids, antibiotics and breathing treatments every 4 are helping a bit but it sure seems to be dragging on. Or maybe it's just a continual new germ collection every few days, who knows. Hopefully Dr. P will be able to shed some light on both concerns.
