Unfortunately the continuous feeds have not helped. Edison has had 8 retching episodes today. We gave him oxygen during 2 of them because he was crying so hard and just seemed to be having a hard time recovering. So we need a new theory. Our surgeon knows this is happening and said we'll just have to wait and see what the swallow study shows next week. My "theory du jour" is that he's teething (there's that old excuse again) and therefore creating more saliva which he's having a hard time swallowing. I just don't know!

We had an appointment with our pediatrician today and poor guy had to get 2 shots (Edison, not the pediatrician :) He was such a sport and besides giving an award-winning pouty lip he tolerated them great!

Unfortunately so many of you, our family and friends, are far away and haven't gotten to see Edison in action. I wish you could all see our little comedian in full form. He really is such a joy to watch. We have a little bouncy chair that David and Katy gave us that bounces when Edison moves. He literally rocks himself to sleep by bucking back and forth and kicking his legs. It's so cute. And now, as I lay on our "bed" beside his crib I have decided that there is no sweeter sound than that of a baby blowing raspberries...or growling....or babbling...all of the things our little chatter box is doing now.
