We got a glimpse of our little boy again.
Today was a better day, a much, much better day. There has been no vomiting in the last 48 hours---this such an accomplishment. I finally feel like we are making process and we are now on the road to recovery.
Eating and drinking are slow going, but that is to be expected (could be up to 1 month before he is able to eat regularly again). This morning Harrison had his first solid food in three days---apples. He even tried some ravioli and peas for lunch and baked beans and peaches for dinner. Like I said, it's slow going, only a few bites---but a few bites is more than he has eaten in more than a week. Tonight at dinner was another turning point, he took 3 gulps of milk out of his cup without spitting it out. I think the excitement at meal time today is equivalent to Christmas morning.
Look!!! Real food after 10 days!
We also ventured out of the house this afternoon. It was wonderful to get out house---seems we have been cooped up here FOREVER with the exception of leaving for work and doctor appointments.
Harrison ended up getting these adorable froggy rain boots. I actually found a pair small enough to fit his size 3 tiny feet!
Here he is breaking them in with playtime!
And this isn't what it looks like---we are not forcing child labor----he willing swifffers any and every floor, even carpet.

Someone is back up terrorizing the kitties!

Here is a close-up of the cuteness!
And look at the expression...pure cuteness.
We also payed a family trip to Once Upon Child. The trip was quite successful---we weren't really looking for anything until we found this child carrier. LOVE this! It was a steal of a deal at just $35. It will be perfect for summer trips to the Zoo, walks and hiking.
Trying it out!
Harrison also had a blast here today playing with the gazillion toys they had there and he even picked up a Eric Carle board book (he is our FAVORITE author).
We couldn't stay out long today because Harrison tires very easily and he his coordination/mobility is unsteady from being so sick, but it was just good to get out.
It feels so incredible to start a blog entry on a high note and end on one too.
We are looking forward to continued recovery tomorrow. Little by little---whatever it is, we will take it!
