Today was another good day. Cael only threw up once, right after his first bottle of pedialyte. Then he took 3 more small bottles of formula through the day. He took about 2 oz (60 mL) for 2 bottles, but only 1 oz (30 mL) for the last. He just didn't seem interested in the bottle. It took some convincing for the first 2 bottles, then the last one, he just wouldn't take any more than 1 oz. I don't really know what to think of that right now. I know he needs to be taking at least half of his daily nutrition by mouth. That would be about 15-20 ounces (450-600 mL). Today he took about 7 ounces, but threw up 2. We still have some time though. Things could change drastically and time.
Physical therapy was pretty good today. He didn't do any rolling or crawling yet, but you could tell he was really trying hard. He kept getting his legs under him, but he wouldn't lift his chest up. Then he would lift his chest, but kept his legs down. But he did keep trying to get those legs under him. I just know that he will be crawling when he starts to feel really good and is out of here.
Cael LOVES the iPad. He knows that if he touches it, something will happen. We have a few apps especially for him, including a piano app by fisher price. He knows the beginning tune that plays when we open that app, and he gets so excited. Then he knows to smack the screen to get sounds out of the piano. What a smart little cookie! He even "dances" a little bit while he is playing it.
