Well, a lot has gone on since our last post. In my last post, I was excited about Simon's swallowing and interest in food. We have had a few good days since but many more bad than good days, unfortunately. He has lost interest in spoon feeding and has little interest for the cup now too. To top it off, he has pneumonia now too that is more than likely from drinking from the cup.

He has been gaining weight well but now he that he is sick, he has been losing weight now. He was up to 18 pounds 17 ounces but is now back down to 18 pounds 11 ounces. It seems like everytime he has great weight gain he gets sick and ends up going backwards and then it's so hard to get that forward momentum again. So, lets hope he's done losing and we can pick the weight back up quickly.

This has been a rough week for Simon. He has started to pop 7 teeth through and is working on getting those all the way through. He also has a double ear infection and now, pneumonia. So, he's been a bit cranky and not sleeping the greatest which means I am not sleeping the greatest.

I feel so bad for my baby. As his mother, I want nothing more than for him to be happy and healthy. He has had so many struggles. He never seems to catch a break. I feel guilty. I feel guilty because if he's suffering so God can teach me patience and to trust in him, well, that's just not fair. I so want my son to be healthy for a whole month. A whole month of no extra doctors appointments. A whole month without antibiotics or pain killers. A whole month of nice weight gain. He deserves a break.
