I really don't have much to update, but I feel like I should keep everyone posted. Yesterday Emery and I had a big day. We went to lunch and to the mall, and he did great! While at the mall I heard people coughing outside of the store and got a little worried and got out of there right after, and anyone who came near him got squirted with Purell, but it was good. I got to shower, do my hair, wear real clothes, and put on makeup. I even had adult conversation. As far as Emery, his nurse thinks he is doing great. His breathing is good and he's 'talking' up a storm, too. My favorite is when I try to do some therapy with him and he gets frustrated and actually tells me off. It's sort of funny. He gets mad but doesn't cry or have tears, he just gets a cranky look on his face and talks back to me for a bit. Then, when he's done, he cries. He's getting better at rolling over and getting to his tummy, but it still takes me to help him, and there is no tooth. I hope he is teething. Either that, or he has bulimia. He shoves his hands so far down his throat he gags and sometimes even throws up from it. He's definitely a character. Today, I figured he was sick. He was in such a good mood and so cooperative for several hours that I figured something must be wrong. He also ate from the bottle like a champ all day. He did get cranky at the end of the day, but that's just because he's tired. We're getting more comfortable with him, and he with us.
