Kiss Me, Mommy
Ian had only an OK day today. He seems to have reached a plateau with progress and the Doctors attempts to increase his feedings and change his bottle nipple to a faster flow didn't work. In fact Ian downright rejected these and struggled a little with these apparently simple changes, which unbalanced his respiration patterns that he has worked so hard on. With every step forward he has made, we did expect to take the occasional step backwards and today seems to be one of those days. But then there is nothing as reassuring as a Mommy's kiss goodnight. Sleep well Ian.
