Okay let’s say something funny happens with your child and you forget to take a picture before you intervene in the situation.\u00a0 Is it wrong to recreate the situation for a photo op?\u00a0 Man I sure hope not!<\/font><\/p>\n

When I came in today Greyson had a blanket over his crib that was draped down over him.\u00a0 Upon closer inspection I realized it had fallen down onto his face.\u00a0 That didn’t seem very pleasant so I started to pull back the blanket when I realized it was stuck.\u00a0 Hmmmm…………stuck to what you ask?\u00a0 Well apparently Greyson had started sucking on the edge of the blanket, probably got tired, and stopped.\u00a0 This allowed his saliva to dry.\u00a0 Now Greyson’s saliva is great at undoing glue, yet when it dries becomes its own very potent form of glue.\u00a0 The blanket had dried to his lip and was stuck!\u00a0 Being a concerned father I sprang into action.\u00a0 I quickly grabbed a fish (medical term for a little green container of saline) and applied it to his lip, freeing my son from the death grip of the blanket.\u00a0 Only then did it hit me, that was kind of funny.\u00a0 I should have taken a picture of it!\u00a0 So I took the blanket and put it back over his head and snapped a quick picture.\u00a0 Ironically the picture wasn’t as funny as the actual event.\u00a0 Before you think to ill of me let me say that Greyson’s response to the whole event was simply to lay there sleeping like nothing was happening.<\/font><\/p>\n

Greyson had a good day.\u00a0 His midnight gas came back with quite a bit of improvement.\u00a0 He had dropped his c02 to 62 which is great.\u00a0 It was good enough that right before his noon gas the RT (respitory therapist) grabbed his sheet and went and talked to the Dr.\u00a0 She came back and said we could wait until midnight for his next gas, saving him at least one poke for the day.\u00a0 Why only one poke?\u00a0 Well awhile back Stacy and I signed the consent form for the first round of his immunizations.\u00a0 They were going to give them to him but waited because they had started him on the steroids.\u00a0 Well he’s been off the steroids long enough that today was the big day.\u00a0 They did this after we were gone and we called in awhile ago to hear how it went.\u00a0 He got upset (who wouldn’t it was five shots!).\u00a0 His nurse tonight said that he thought Greyson got more upset by being held down than by the pain of the shots.\u00a0 Either way he seems to have made it through everything OK.<\/font><\/p>\n

As you can see the picture I am using today was not the recreation of the blanket incident.\u00a0 This seemed a better picture.\u00a0 Greyson was getting agitated by the cpap and trying to pull it off with his hands.\u00a0 Unfortunately when he tried to pull on it he was scratching around his eyes so Stacy put the mittens she had made on him.\u00a0 I think he likes them!<\/font><\/p>\n

In about 45 minutes I’ll call and get his midnight gasses.\u00a0 We are praying he is continuing to do well.\u00a0 I would love to say that I will post an update with the results before morning, but I’ll probably get sucked into watching TV and won’t get it done.\u00a0 TV is something I can do now that school is out.\u00a0 Oh how great it feels to be on Christmas Vacation!!<\/font><\/p>\n

Hope everyone is well,<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
