Good news!

Gas prices are coming down! That's right, here in Western Wisconsin it is below $3! Bert is telling me that it is $2.60 something in parts of the Twin Cities.

Wyatt hasn't been feeling well for a little while now. On Sunday night/Monday morning he decided that he didn't want to drink anything no matter how we tried to give it to him. So we went to the doctor's on Monday and he was diagnosed with 2 ear infections and put on ampicillin for 10 days. That was supposed to help his drinking but it didn't so we went back in on Wednesday. It was then that he was diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease. There were a couple decent sized sores on his tongue causing him quite a bit of pain when he tried to suck so he didn't. To prevent dehydration we have been syringing liquids into him since Monday. Well after a long week tonight he finally "inhaled" 7-8 ounces of milk from a bottle. I have literally never seen him drink that much that fast ever. This means that he might be feeling well enough to start nursing again soon. That's right, all week I've been pumping. Now that he's being treated for he ailments he has been sleeping better this week, too. Unfortunately, I have not been because whatever he had he gave to me and I've had a sore throat/cough all week.

So as you can see it has been a long and trying week for us. The good part is that Wyatt has been pretty happy and alert just not drinking anything. I will have to upload the picture and video I wanted to post some other time because things aren't being cooperative.
