Well, it's been a little over a week since Anthony had his surgery, and overall everything is going as expected. We did, however, end up staying overnight in the hospital because Anthony was not able to keep his oxygen levels up while asleep. He had so much swelling, it was blocking his airway. They gave him oxygen throughout the day and night and by the next morning, he was doing well enough to go home. The last week has been tough on him as well as on Rob and I. Anthony has been on pain relievers and antibiotics around the clock, so one of us, if not both of us, are up with him every couple of hours to give meds or to calm him down because he woke up in pain. He also has a bad cold, which is not helping the matter. He has lost about 3 pounds, which is sad to see because he was skinny to begin with. Rob and I push food and drinks on him nonstop, but he's just not very interested. We hope in the next few days, we get our happy Anthony back.
Logan is also sick. He caught the cold Anthony had and is now on two nebulizer medications to help him breathe better. The poor little guy on top of feeling icky from the cold, is also teething. His first tooth popped out the other day!! We were wondering why he was so cranky in the two days before it popped; Anthony didn't get his first tooth until he was 6 months, so we weren't expecting teeth at four months. Logan also had his four month check-up and is still in the 70-75% for his weight, length, and head. He's so much bigger than Anthony; he was always in the 25-40% range.
Rob and I are doing as well considering the lack of sleep and look forward to when the boys are healthy. Rob will stay at home through Tuesday with the boys, and then he plans to go back to work. Anthony will return to his daycare and Logan will head to a different one right down the street from my work. Eventually, they will be at the same daycare, we just have to wait a little while for a spot to open up. It's possible, we might decide we like Logan's place better and might move Anthony over there for the next school year. We'll see. Hope everyone is doing well!!
