Maddox ate a lot of black olives yesterday, which resulted in a blockage of his feeding tube from 4:00am until 6:30am. I won't go into the gory details, but the on-call IV nurse thought we were going to have to replace the tube. Thank you God that we did not. We had a similar blockage earlier in the week, but that lasted only 45 minutes. oy, I can't wait until we are done with this.
Of course Maddox was wide awake and all chipper. He is amazingly happy when he wakes up in the middle of the night. He was making a control panel with tape and a remote control. While I was talking to the IV nurse he kept insisting I tell her about the control panel. Then he was up for the day around 7:30.
I had told Maddox we would look through Mason's telescope once it was dark out. Maddox woke up at 11:00pm, came downstairs and asked about the telescope. Then he was up at midnight again.
He is doing well though. He has gained 3 pounds now. He is over 30 pounds! I never thought I would see him over 30 pounds. He is gaining a pound a week and it is easy to see the weight on him. He is getting almost husky looking. My little peanut is getting big. He used to look like a 2 year old or even an 18 month old to me, and now, he is looking closer to 4. It's almost weird seeing him gain weight so fast. My baby isn't a baby anymore.
I don't know what the goal is for Maddox, I am hoping to find out on Monday. But if he continues gaining a pound a week, he'll be 12 pounds heavier by the time we are done. That would put him at 39 pounds.
