A nice day

Tara here again with a status update. Henry had a nice day. He played in the playroom for a while this morning, but by noon was in bed and didn't make it out again. He enjoyed his visitors and the toys they brought (thanks, Granya and Miss Susan!). He seems very comfortable, and in good spirits, but very tired.

He ate 3 cookies for lunch but after that didn't drink or eat anything more. Over the last few days he hasn't eaten much but we've been able to get some calories into him with liquids. I took his refusal of liquids as a bad sign, and was not surprised when he complained of nausea tonight. He never actually vomited, but we added a second anti-nausea drug and he settled down for the night. Hopefully he'll sleep well.

We've been told to expect a fever sometime next week. His temp is normal now, but the special implanted mommy thermometer in my cheek tells me that we'll be seeing a fever sooner than that. We've also been warned that next week will be the week that he feels the worst, so we'll continue to take one day at a time and hope that he feels as good tomorrow as he did today.

I don't write as often (or as well) as Bryan but I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the support that you've been giving us, the girls, and Henry.
