better than expected.....

Even though Mr. Cannon is not quite ready to smile for the camera, (who could blame him?) he is doing much better than we expected. What a very much needed answer to prayer. God is so good.

He is sleeping pretty well (which the doctor said probably wouldn't happen) and he is drinking lots of milk and juice. After being constipated since Thursday from the barium he had to drink, he has been pooping like crazy since last night. (only moms can get so excited about poop!) And this morning he ate almost a whole cereal bar. There has been no vomiting since Saturday afternoon and even then, it was a very small amount.

He still has a cough, but it does not seem to be as painful for him as it was before. He is pretty needy and can get crabby very quickly, but that seems par for the course when one is sick. He even has enough energy that he has started his breath holding spells again! Oh good. It really was sad before because he had so little energy, he could hardly cry and he would just give this pathetic little sad face. I can't say I am happy that the breath holding spells are back, but it does show that he is slowly returning to his normal self. Yay for that!

I am so happy to report some good news. Things were pretty depressing around here on the ol' blog. Thanks for your prayers. They are obviously working and we couldn't be more grateful!
