eating and sleeping better

Jerry seemed to be doing better last week with sleeping through naps without crying and had a few long naps without waking or crying...including today! He has had a few spurts of increased interest in eating and today was GREAT. I may be getting a little too excited too soon, but he ate lots of bites of chicken, cheese and even ice cream. I have been trying to get him to eat ice cream since we got home after surgery! He stayed with a baby sitter today too so John and I could have a little breakfast date! Thanks Megan! He had a little hard time in the beginning but ended up having a great time with Megan. We went to the civic center pool later today. It was Jerry's first time in a big pool and he loved it!

There are still times I relive some very awful moments from the past year, feel anguish for everything JJ has gone through, and think about some of the reality that is hard to face. Finding out how horrible it was for JJ over the past year has been hard. Like hearing that he probably had several heart attacks and that he was in pain probably every time he ate and drank.

All of that is fading and at least balanced recently by good news, normalcy, and thankfulness for all the friends, family, and strength we have been blessed with to help us through everything.
