he's doing great off the ventilator! yep, he's been wearing clothes for a while now - i have far too many, of course. he has a fish theme...so lots of his clothes have fish on them! 
but he does have an infection. he's on antibiotics again. no more fever so far, and he's not acting sick, so i hope it's being nipped in the bud. he's developed a fistula between his bowel & bladder, which is evidently quite common after such long-standing bowel inflammation. it might heal on its own, or it might have to be fixed when they fix his ileostomy. i'm not really all that worried about it. it's annoying that something new is going wrong, but even though it has the potential to be a serious problem, it isn't so far, so i'm gonna focus on the positives...they're so much bigger, anyway!
i held him today while he was fussy. i think he was just trying out his new voice - he's never been able to talk before. i told him over & over that i would try to fix anything that was wrong & if i couldn't fix it, i could hold him while he cried because he wasn't alone. he's so very sweet.
