Who's a lazy boy then?


Hi everyone, Hope you are well!
No news yet about our flight.
I am pleased to say that Rocky put on some weight (since Tuesday, when Dr Markert was talking about starting feeding by vein to try and get him to put some weight on). He went up to 8.6kg from 8.1 on Tuesday. Go fatty boomba!! Well, he is definately heavier, I have to carry him and his entourage up three flights of stairs anytime we go anywhere, so I can feel it for sure!
Dr Markert changed his formula to one the is more easily digested and it has really slowed the gastro down, which is such a relief. The vomiting (touch wood) has really slowed as well. His fluid levels are all back in the normal range and held over the weekend without any extra IV fluids so that is unreal too. He will not be able to kick the virus though, until his cells come in. I guess you never know when it can get worse. But for now I am enjoying an improvement in things.
Peter and Priscilla have decided to come down this weekend to give us some company. I think Rocky will really enjoy seeing some new faces.
He has had his first buster off his little car, I saw him hanging on for dear life falling off sideways. He managed to hang on until I saved him. The look on his little face was priceless. I have tried to encourage him to use his feet (so his mum does not have to get down and push - I'm getting on ya know) but check out the pic for what he now does when I sit him on the car. He clearly likes to relax and let someone else do all the work I was hoping I could do that. LOL.
It's a massive relief to have things moving in the right direction with his health, please keep praying madly for a safe flight home for our man. Thank you so much . xox
