A good later morning.

I'm cutting it close for a morning post, but I had a bit of a rough night last night. One of those all-nighters. George on the other hand, did quite well and slept through the night. He was up and out of bed by ten, and we got his peg tube dressing changed and, while he did wake up soaked, his dressing wasn't as soaked as it could've been. He also peed in the right place this morning, because I reminded him to change his pants in front of the tolit so if he did have to go it wouldn't end up on the floor. It's an improvment. I know we have a long way to go, but we have to start somewhere and I'll take the little steps forward as they come.

And, as I predicted, throughout the day he tried to tell me I'd already done the other three feeds.

@kaylachan Maybe he just didn't feel hungry

@wolfgirl569 He almost never does. Or, if he does, he's ignoring it. That's another reason why we have the peg tube. It's not total intake he should be getting, but it's a good portion.

Sorry you had a rough night. Glad George did well and is making those “baby step” improvements.

Yes, one step forward, two back as they say. I have a bit of a mess to clean up, but he remembered what I suggested last night.

As say say every little bit helps and by taking little steps you get much farther,

Thanks! Even with the rain, I suspect today will be just as good.
