More on Eli
We are home from the hospital now. I am seeing this is definitely a 'one day at a time' process. Yesterday was a long day. Eli was not doing as well yesterday as he had been in the past 2 days. He got very sick in the morning and threw-up everywhere and then proceeded to sleep for over 3 hours in my arms on the smelly couch. I could tell he really didn't feel good, which is definitely hard on a mother's heart. Today he has been pretty subdued all day. He is sleeping now. He seems very content when he is resting which is good since sleeping is the best thing for him right now...
I want to share a few pics of the past few days. You can see here how much he has improved, but he still has a long way to go. I hope to continue to keep you updated on his progress.
Eli while he was in the Emergency Room last Saturday:
Eli resting in the hospital:
The hospital had wagons that the children could ride in. Eli really enjoyed his wagon outings, although they really wore him out. He loved riding the wagon in the Elevator so much that he is still talking about it today!
Now that we are home I am trying to find creative ways to make playtime fun for him. Since his mind is working great he still needs/wants to be stimulated and play. Yet he is very limited in what he can do and handle. He can only handle playing for about 15 minutes at a time, then he needs to rest. As a way to make his playtime more special for him, I set up Eli's tent in his room and filled it with balloons and some of his favorite books. Eli rested his back on a big pink balloon and had a wonderful time playing in his new special place.
Thank you again for your continued prayers, they are much needed and much appreciated.
