Recoop

Here was Elijah's side of a phone conversation with my dad yesterday, after we had gotten home from the hospital:

"I went to hossa-pi-doh (hospital) wif mommy-daddy. Sammy went to Sandy's (daycare) and we went to hossa-pi-doh and I pwayed wif car castle and I cried a wittle bit in the big room (OR) and Daddy said, 'It's ok, E-ijah!' and he gived me medicine and I cried a wittle bit."

Awwwww.

Elijah woke up with dark circles under his eyes this morning, so he stayed home with Dan today to rest.

I need to come up with a formula for how long it takes to recover from hospital time. It would be something like..

For every 5 hours of time spent in the hospital, 10 hours of solid sleep is required in order to feel rested and 1 week must pass before emotions are stabilized.

We are looking forward to Elijah's appointment with Dr. K next week. We're hoping to form a plan and possibly get more answers (Thanks for the esophageal reflux comment, Mina! We'll look into that.).

A quick thing about Sammy...he has been really clingy lately. He does not tolerate being held, or looked at, by strangers ("strangers" = anyone besides Dan or me). If I walk into another room he cries and crawls after me and then pulls himself up on my legs so I will pick him up. He responds to touch way more than Elijah ever did and I would consider Elijah to be extremely snuggly! How did I get lucky enough to have TWO snuggly little boys? And don't tell Dan I said this, but he's pretty snuggly, too. :)

I think I'm through with this scatter-brained post. Thank you for checking in on our family!
