Post Glenn - Four weeks later

The second half of last week did not go well at all. Gary really got the rough days last week because Tucker pulled out his NG tube twice and required two separate trips to the ER to get it replaced. This week we where going to both work a full week and send Tucker to daycare, but he ended up catching some chest cold and bad cough in one of his trips to the ER. So Gary had to stay home with him on Monday and Tuesday we had an appointment with Spencer's allergy specialist in Boston. Hopefully the rest of the week will go better.

Post Glenn - Three Weeks Later

Tucker is continuing to gaining weight and his scars are almost completely healed. He is still in some pain when he sneezes or coughs which is difficult for him because the feeding tube tickles his nose. Hopefully he can continue to have a healthy weight gain so we can get this tube removed again. He needs to take about 18 ounces a day, and he is only taking about 8 ounces by mouth, so the rest is pumped into his stomach overnight. He is loving the step 1 baby food and would eat as much as we will give him. Unfortunately we need to slowly add different foods and work the amount up slowly. The goal for Gary and I was to split up the work week, and each work a few days. This is the trial run to see if Tucker is ready to go to daycare without needing the constant attention.

We will let you know how it goes.
