Week 23 – 3 years old   no comments

Posted at 2:25 pm in General

Eli is going to be 3 on Saturday! I have no idea where the time has gone, it seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home. His face is continuing to get worse and worse, it’s so hard for him to keep from scratching it. Auntie Patty is buying Eli a new sleep suit for his birthday – best gift ever. We would be lost without his suit. So if what we hear is true we are just shy of the halfway mark for Eli’s TSW… it’s best to think of how far we’ve come and not how far we have to go. We had a reaction scare that caused Eli’s eye to swell on Tuesday around 5pm. We are assuming pollen is to blame but are not 100% sure, we gave him Benadryl which brought the swelling down. Eli continues to amaze us every day. We are so lucky that he chose us to be his parents.

We are all about small victories, Eli slept for 13 hours last night!! He needed it so badly. He has had to use his nebulizer for the past 3 days, the pollen is killing him. He hasn’t needed to use it in 16 months. We were worried about putting steroids into his body but made sure to clean his mouth/nose area after each treatment. It seems to be working thankfully. I can’t believe Eli is going to be 3 next week! Our baby is growing up!
