Mr. Will was having a bit of a poo back-up issue on Saturday so he got a nice dose of some kind of suppository and out it all came... three times. Good boy, Will. His rash is acting up so his clothes are now being washed in the double-rinse cycle. He has being doing ok on the bottle feeds thus far...he'll take about 1/3 of the full feed and then have the rest fed via the feeding tube after some brady's and d-sat's. His first meal-from-the-source yesterday went really well but then he was tired for the second one, which is to be expected.

Ms. Tenley has her own poo issue, although it's the complete opposite of her brother's issue...she poo's so often that she has a bad rash on her bottom. To help her out with this, they have her lying on her belly - without clothing - with her bottom elevated up in the air. Directly under her is her diaper where (with the aide of some ointment) the poo slides down into. Poor girl...I hope this rash heals up soon...if not for anything but for the poor girl's dignity ;) She's also now on Prevacid because she displays some mild irritability and discomfort after eating. So far, it seems to be helping a bit.
