*there's things we won't miss

I'm happy to update everyone by saying Will is feeling better now. He and I both were sick during the past week but it is so nice to see him happy and crawling around again. Not only is he back to himself, he is better than ever. Great mood, less spitting up, eating a little from a spoon, making more noises, getting closer to talking, and crawling, crawling, crawling!

As we approach Will's 1st birthday, I have been thinking about these things that we no longer worry about.

*Spells
*Turning blue
*Apnea monitor









*Wires keeping us from walking around while we hold him
*Trips to the ER
*The NG tube being in the wrong place and causing aspiration
*When will his OHS be scheduled
*Weaning off the ventilator
*Visiting the hospital (We did count the mileage on our taxes though.)
*Getting clean clothes to the hospital
*Washing our hands over and over with that abrasive hospital hand soap


It's so nice to have those things out of our way!

Things we hope to add to the list soon:
*Surgeries
*Medicines
*Feeding tube
*Feeding pump
*Pole that holds the feeding pump
(Stubbing your toe on it is really painful.)
*Continuous night feeds
*Phone calls with the nutritionist about feedings
*Thinking about tube feedings
*Anything related to anyone's feeding tube ever :)
