Nobody knows the trouble I've seen ...

Poor little Cole. On top of everything, he's developed eczema. Which probably would be mostly annoying for him - but the tape used to hold his feeding tube in has aggravated the eczema and then it got infected. 

We went to instacare and they prescribed some antibiotics to help clear it up. Between applications we're supposed to use diaper cream - apparently it has an amazing to dry things up. We think it's working - but it leaves him as quite a site. And since we need to continue with the tube feeds until we're evaluated for the Gtube early next year we had to be creative with adhering it to his face. 
                                                          
You can almost see that look of 'You've got to be kidding' in his face. 

Luckily, he's got a cool new hat to distract from his cheeks!!

How cute is he!
It is touching to see the tubes etc.
Maybe I should put him back on my special training program, You remember how strong he looked?
I am happy to see these pictures.
Rosy sends her best wishes as well.
