we keep it silly....

we're getting smiles a little easier these days, and isaiah has been playing and goofing around a bunch. he still can't breathe well by himself, so we're hoping that pulling the extra fluid from his chest this morning will help that.

he has been tolerating food better than he has since after the surgery, which is really encouraging. we had to stop that last night in anticipation of the procedure today, so we're hoping that he's able to pick up where he left off without issue. the food is quite critical to any chance of escape, since all of the component parts of his chemical cocktail have to go in (and stay in) his belly before we can think about shedding iv's.
