It takes a village!

Micah is doing very well these days! He has 4 more days of antibiotics left and we are counting them down! Bath time will be much more fun without a saran-wrapped arm held up in the air by Daddy. For now he splashes with three limbs :)

As for giving antibiotics every night, it takes three people for a successful administration and happy baby. I give the medicine which consists of four syringes of fluids (1 salines, antiobiotics, another saline, and heparin). Daddy (Roscoe) holds his cute little arms down ever so gently (the boy hates to be restrained). Grandma Linda provides the most important part - and that is keeping Micah entertained and happy for the roughly 5 minutes it takes to complete the task. So far, only one meltdown and that was last night - the poor guy was just too tired to be held down and since he likes to sleep on his side, he kept wanting to roll over. Daddy wouldn't let him and boy did that make him angry! But overall, he does very well with the whole thing! We're grateful he's still a biddy. I can't imagine trying to do this with a toddler. Whew!
