It's been a few days since I've posted, time really does fly. Abram's diarrhea is letting up, stool sample came back negative for c-diff infection, thank goodness. He isn't vomiting as much, maybe 1-2 times a day as it used to be 2 times a day plus that. He is sticking his fingers in his mouth more and more, and makes himself choke which leads to the coughing/gagging then vomiting so we are trying to watch him during and after feeds. I hope the pacifier doesn't become permanently attached to his face! We didn't go to the cardiologist as planned on Monday, spoke to her on the phone and we agreed it would be more risky to go to the clinic due to Abe's low blood count. She assured me that it's unlikely any change was made in Abram's heart since it's only been two weeks from the last appointment, and his breathing/color hasn't seemed to change. Our next appointment is Sept. 5 with infectious disease doc. Otherwise, not much going on medically.
Alec's celebration of his life is this coming Sunday. I'm posting his electronic obit on the site if you are interested in reading. He was such a special guy, and all our hearts ache with missing him. As a new mother, I can't imagine what it must be like for Alec's parents. Especially his mother who was so dedicated to him and his well being.
