Toronto Day 31

An ok day...other than the continued respiratory stuff (oxygen, ventolin and secretions). Physio got Noah out of bed this morning for a while, and he did manage to play a bit, but got frustrated, wheezy and tuckered out very quickly. Definately not his usual self yet, but we are getting there. We got rid of the morphine infusion this afternoon...Noah was a bit jittery with some withdrawal, but has done well with just tylenol.

Feeds are still at 2 mls as Noah has already started his usual dumping (the feeds seem to just go right through him), and a bit of retching as well. We have started Loperamide (Imodium) to see if this will help slow down his gut a bit.

The kids and I checked out the hospital theatre this afternoon...yep, this place even has a movie theatre. We saw "Imagine That"...cute movie which we all enjoyed. Tomorrow we may try to do a bit of sightseeing.
Had to take a picture of Noah's roadmap posted by his bed. Thought it was rather cute...the nurse's way of keeping track of all his tubes...

Love the road map! They didn't label his infectious smile and smiley-squinty eyes...likely that he has captured all their hearts! Are you using your new camera? Like it? Hugs to you all and hugs to my Bean...

Cute stick picture of Noah :) It sounds like progress is slow but steady. We'll be praying that Noah could gain back a bit more of his energy.

Gosh Nichole, even when Noah isn't feeling great he has that wonderful smile on his face. Glad he's feeling a bit better!
It's great to see pictures of everyone here with you, enjoying themselves at Canada Day activities!
