Dayton is Feeling Much Better

Dayton is back at daycare this morning after our best nights sleep since last week. Ahhhh, a sigh of relief. He has an antibiotic-caused diaper rash and he still has GI issues, but he's definitely over the worst of it. Another sigh of relief....

He was fever free all day yesterday and the pictures below show that we have our happy Dayton back. He is a bit hesitant to lay on his back now because he's learned over the past few days that bad things happen in that position...nose sucked, mouth opened to squirt in meds, IVs inserted, chest x-rays taken, catheter inserted. Poor guy....

His favorite things to play with are his four-legged siblings, Mikki, Piper and Tiger. Now that he is crawling, he just wants to be next to them. After many attempts, he has finally learned that he has to lift his leg to crawl onto the dog beds and mission accomplished. Luckily, the dogs love Dayton as much as he loves them and they are very tolerant of his advances. Yesterday, Dayton was mesmerized by the tags on Mikki's collar.

We used the webcam for the first time last night to get my Dad's opinion on the diaper rash (fungal or not). Dayton's butt got it's first show...let's hope it does not end up on u-tube.

Thank you to everyone who has checked in on us and offered to help over the past week. Aimee, thank you ENDLESSLY for coming over Wednesday afternoon to play with Dayton while I got some work done. Mom and Dad, thank you for your support after many calls to you and requests for input on what to do next as Dayton's illness progressed. Thank you to those I work with for being so understanding of my absence. We are a very lucky family.

Sigh of relief.
