His reflux had been gradually improving every day. He was not throwing up that much either which was wonderful. Yet for some reason today he just regressed. He's back to projectile vomit during feedings, after feedings, before feedings. In reality, he's doing it pretty much all the time. We both have had multiple wardrobe changes. More distressing was the painful gas. He just cried and cried. He is still doing it on and off. But it seems to be tapering off.
It is distressing not being able to do anything about it other than cuddle and comfort him.
On the bright side, he just keeps surprising us with his developmental strides. A minute ago he was holding his head straight up looking at me and then looking around. He would rest against my shoulder for a little while and then do it again.
And he really enjoys pushing off with his legs no matter how you hold him. During tummy time he actually moves from one end of the play mat to the other. In fact he gets pretty frustrated if he can't push off something.
Lisa, one of his NICU nurses, used to say that John never got the memo that he was a preemie. We are convinced she might be right.

BTW, where is John having his surgery? what time on Thursday? I know he's gonna do just fine -- I know it's hard not to worry, because he's been thru so much already but he'll do great and he'll be home in no time. :-) I'm thinkin' about ya'll every day and always look forward to updates. Take care and I'll TTYS -- Love ya'll! Cathy
