Jonathan Day 190

7:30 AM-CT
Jonathan didn't have a very good night last night.  He woke-up several times crying with his little arm straighteners extended.  They gave us wraps for his arms so his elbows couldn't bend or he would probably have rubbed his eyes all night.  After the 3rd time he woke-up I crawled in to bed with him and each time he started to cry I would rub his belly and he would look at me and smile and say "thank you Daddy".  It wasn't the most comfortable with both of us in his tiny toddler bed.  Luckily I had a Teddy Bear to use as a pillow.

At about 5:30 AM he said he had to potty and after Da Da got him to the bathroom he got the "I DON'T have to go potty" treatment.  The poor little guy looks like he was in a juice bar fight with a 5 year old.  As many times as we tried we could not get his ointment in his eyes.  We tried when he was awake and sleeping.  He would cry and tighten his eyes so we couldn't get his lower lid opened.  Fortunately, we're seeing Dr Tyler again this morning so she can show us how to apply twice daily.

Auntie Staci just arrived so I'm going to run for now.

3:00 PM-ET
At about 9:00 AM we packed up the car and headed to the post surgery check-up.  Dr Tyler thought Jonathan looked really good and the his eyes were already responding great.  Today Da Da (who is very tall) was standing in front of JH and he called him and JH looked up and his eyes didn't wander or get stuck.  JH always surprises me, I asked him to say thank you to Dr Tyler and he looked at her and said "Dr Tyler fixed my eyes".

We're back in MI and our boy is napping with his arm braces on.  His eyes look worse to me, they said they would so we're not concerned.  He has swelling and they look a little black and blue.  It kills us that our baby looks so terrible!  The good news is he isn't cranky at all and is actually being a very sweet boy today.

5:16 PM-ET
Gramma is in the kitchen working on dinner, Da Da is on his lap top answering emails, and I'm about to hit publish post.  Goodnight.
