Paxton got up when his mommy did this morning. He played with his toys while she got ready for work. Moppy came over shortly thereafter to watch him during the day.
Susanne had a great day at work. She left at a reasonable hour. She was hoping to run a few errands before she got home because it was difficult for her to do this with Paxton. He always stressed out so much when they left the house. He would easily get overheated in his car seat and his breathing would become more labored the longer they were out and about. Susanne tried to avoid putting Paxton in these types of situations as much as possible because it caused him to work too hard and burn too many calories. This was not good for him or his fragile heart. Susanne was able to fill one of Paxton's prescriptions and return a shirt she did not want. It seemed like everything was going well until she tried to exchange her bridesmaid's dress for the third time. She quickly realized that this time she had forgotten the receipt. This was getting ridiculous. Better luck next time.
Moppy thought that Paxton had a good day. He had a few episodes of gagging and even spit up a couple of times, but this was becoming the norm for him as he figured out how to move his tongue and swallow normally. Even though it was a slow process, he was definitely showing signs of improvement.
Susanne had recently noticed how Paxton was becoming a lighter sleeper. It used to be tha the overhead light could be on and a conversation could be happening around him and he wouldn't budge. This talent came from all of the time that he had spent in the hospital. He had become desensitized to the all of the lights, beeping monitors, and other extraneous noises during his stay. Now, if James barked or his NG tube was touched to hook him up to his feeding while he was sleeping, he would rustle around. He still slept well overall and would rarely cry. Susanne still felt very lucky that he was such a good baby.
