Home, But…
Yes. We’re home again. Dan is so much better and came home yesterday. He still has to have increased oxygen for a few days, but he’s so close to being back to normal! We’re over the moon. He’s so happy and hasn’t stopped smiling for the last couple of days. He hasn’t quite got his voice back properly, but he’s playing and eating and sleeping beautifully.
Lachlan, on the other hand, is still quite sick. This has been bothering Richard and I because he never got as sick as Daniel, but he’s taking longer to recover. As a consequence, we took him to the doctor today and he’s got an ear infection – or two. He’s been so miserable with it too, which is upsetting. So they’re both on the drugs this week. Next thing you know, they’ll both have oral thrush… (which they got last time they had antibiotics.) Will it ever end?
In other news, Dan’s illness doesn’t seem to have set him back too much. He’s quite keen to roll onto his tummy at times now, and works very hard to do it. He doesn’t stay on his tummy for very long, but at least he’s getting there now. Lachlan is still rolling around with great dexterity and pushing himself backwards. No forward movement yet, but he’s getting from sitting to his tummy with some measure of control. His second tooth is yet to make an appearance, while Dan’s seventh is proudly through.
The move to lumpier solids has taken a back seat over the last week, and I was dispairing of ever making them something they’d be willing to eat. So tonight I made a pumpkin soup for Richard and I and offered them some, bacon bits and all. They demolished it, so I’m happy again.
