Improving

Weilong is improving every day now! He still wakes up with a fierce headache, but within and hour or so we have it under control. His tummy is often upset too, but I'm sure it's from the meds, not anything to do with a brain problem. We're trying to cut down on the amount of ibuprofen and tylenol he gets in a day. It's a balancing act, pain vs too much meds.

He is getting more active, playing for the others for longer periods before he has to lay down for a rest. His saucy personality is coming back too. And he has told me he loves me several times, a sure sign that he feels better.

He still weighs 39 lbs even. I believe he will continue to gain weight though because he is eating very well. He gets hungry every couple of hours like a baby would, but that's good. He needs to eat. He cannot eat a whole lot at once or he vomits.

Here are a few pictures. One is of him with chocolate on his teeth. Ouch, the dentist bills! And of him in my bed with my special quilt that my grandmother and great grandmother made. It gives you good dreams to sleep with this special, almost threadbare quilt. He swears that it does!

And finally their favorite snack, watermelon. Weilong asked for something to eat that was cold and wet. Look what he got!
