Open eye strike is over!

I had a tough first half of the night last night with Daddy mostly because I had two big poops.  As you know by now, the poops really stress me out and they usually come along with coughing up lots of congestions, seizures and ups and downs with my heart rate and oxygen stats.  I finally settled down with Mommy and we slept pretty good for the rest of the night.

I was tired this morning and Mommy and I just chilled out eating breakfast while Brody and Daddy went to pick up the new hamster for Brody's classroom.  I started to wake up and open my eyes so Mommy decided to pick me up and hold me and boy did I cough up some more congestion.  I was coughing so hard I even pooped again.  We got out a bunch of thick mucus up and I was finally able to relax with Mommy...that is until my Brother and the new pet came home!

Then this afternoon I got some extra special time with my Daddy!

He decided to hold me too and boy did I give him a rough time!  I coughed, coughed and coughed up lots and lots of congestion.  Just when he thought I was done, I would cough up some more and then....I pooped!  Luckily Mommy was nearby to help the situation and believe me, it was a big situation.  I was able to get all cleaned up and I took some pictures with Daddy!

Hopefully I don't have any more poops tonight and I am done coughing.  I haven't tried to lay on my left but my nurse Heather is going to make me give it a try again tonight.  I have been able to tolerate laying on my back most of today, slightly twisted to the right with my head to the right.  If that continues we may need to further investigate that next week,

As you can tell I have been opening my eyes much more the past two days.  My right eye is still a little swollen but it has gone down a lot in the last few days.
