Turning Over

At therapy, we have been working with Titus turning over. We practice and practice and practice with him. Well, last night, his monitors went off, Becky went in, and he had turned over in his bed all by himself (he wasn't too happy about it). But it is great to see his progress. He's becoming quite the scooter on the floor. He's learning to kick his feet and push himself along.

Please continue to pray for his cough/drainage. He's had a lot more drainage over the last few days and we are suctioning several times a day. But at his doctor's appt yesterday, his lungs are clear (PTL). He even had "snot bubbles" in his nose yesterday - which is real common for most babies, but when you have such a large cleft palate, it's very rare when Titus' nose actually runs. And, due to the drainage, we've been up a lot over the last few nights. And, our night nurse, Clarice, was unable to come this week since she has a cold. As a result, Becky and I are running on low energy (actually, I've moved from coffee to Monster energy drinks to keep me awake at work!)

And, the funny thing is, Becky and I bought a new bed last week (which is to be delivered today). We decided to sell our old queen-size bedroom set on Craigslist - and found a great buyer immediately. Unfortunately, he came and picked up the bed on Monday. We tried to sleep on an air mattress the first night, which was a comedy of errors - so one of us has been sleeping on the air mattress and one of us on the sofa which I know is adding to the extra fatigue. But we are SO excited to sleep on a new king-size mattress tonight!

Thanks for your prayers - I'll post new pics soon.
