Day 37

Seton slept for a good chunk of the night last night! Zane’s mom came in town to spend some time with Seton this weekend and help us watch him at night. Last night she insisted that we go to bed and let her watch him. He slept from 12am-8:30am with out needing anything! He coughed around 5am but was able to handle the secretions himself. He also had another tooth start poking through on Thursday and it finished coming through yesterday – which is probably why he had such a rough night on Wednesday night.

Seton also did really well for his speech therapist yesterday. He swallowed a lot and really made a mess of his face with his rice cereal. We have been putting it on his hands and letting him take his hand to his mouth to taste it. He spends most of his day with his hands on his cheeks or trying to get them in his mouth so it works out great…but makes a huge mess!

Today’s prayer request is for his sleep pattern to continually get better, and his core strength. He still has a hard time holding his head up and holding it straight. Anytime we make him sit up in our lap or in his boppy, he is always looking for somewhere to rest his head. Core strength will also help him be able to sit up without assistance.

Thank you all for your continued prayers as we get closer and closer to his 1^st Birthday! ...only 13 more days to go

²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
   and increases the power of the weak.
³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
   and young men stumble and fall;
³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
   will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
   they will run and not grow weary,
   they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:29-31
