Only a small area of Toby's belly still shows signs of last week's infection. His doctor says he dodged a bullet with this one and is pleased with the recovery so far. He extended the antibiotic treatment for another week and we are praying that is enough to clear the problem completely out of his system.
Toby himself seems to be feeling quite peppy. He is full of energy and looks ready to be up and moving. We're still waiting for that day, though. For now, he continues to use his siblings and parents as a taxi service.
The discovery of the week in the food department is Club Crackers. He likes them as much as cheese curls, his former favorite. With most foods, he only nibbles or remains stolidly indifferent. He has chowed down some crackers the last few days. This small milestone is incredibly exciting, knowing that in order for normal eating patterns to develop, he needs to experience the positive feedback of pleasurable tastes plus learn about appetite and how to satisfy hunger himself. Who knew that hunger and taste were such good gifts from our good God?
