Marci,

The positive thoughts and prayers just never stop for you two. Wouldn't that just be too ironical to find out that Jameson is allergic to breast milk. Such an easy fix but not one of the first things that anybody thinks about. Sure hope that as the weather improves and Spring approaches, Jameson, like the plants will bloom and grow.

Love from YAF and TK

it doesn't seem to be allergy, so that's good. yeah, i have 4 freezers (mine, mama's, grandmama's, a friend's) with breastmilk stashed since i've been freezing for 2 months while he wasn't eating.

his incision wasn't getting better, and had a really red puffy area...then, saturday, bam! some pus-type stuff started coming out from around his stoma (the end of his intestine that's poking out his skin and will be fixed back in 6 or so weeks) and yesterday, bam! the incision looked SO much better. seems an abcess popped.

i'm starting to think that he's turned the corner. he's been hanging around 6lb for a week or two, which means to me that he's losing fluid & gaining real weight in its place. he's 17 1/2 inches long, so he's real baby size. he'll be 39 weeks tomorrow, or a week before his due date. he's still got some stuff to conquer before we can think of him coming home - he's still on the vent, still not getting food through his tummy by tube, still needs to learn to suck - but i'm feeling much better.

i bought him a car seat friday.

You sound like every parent I know, BabyDuck - discussing pus and poop and all manner of gross stuff with aplomb.
