Alex is getting better again. We finally found out last Friday afternoon that he has an intestinal "buddy" who has been causing disatrous things in his little tummy :( So, now he is once again on antibiotics to kill the sucker. He HATES his medicine. I have to practically sit on him and dump the meds down his throat. But I found a little trick that seems to help. I give him two small stickers after he takes his medicine...one for each hand and he walks around afterward, so proud, showing off his decorated hands. He likes the pish stickers the best (pish=fish) I hear him talking to himself as he plays: "pish pish sh sh sh".
So, Friday is the last day for medicine and then we'll have to test him again to see if we got rid of mister entamoeba histolytica (to give the exact medical term). Hopefully this is also what has caused his lack of weight gain...but we'll see what happens.
He is so active despite the battle going on inside of him. We are so proud of him, he is a sweetie. He gives real smoochy kisses now...and sometimes he wants to give them smack on the mouth. It's so cute. When I kiss him and put him to bed at night...he makes a little kissing noise and then rolls onto his tummy with his bum in the air. so sweet...
