Update

The continuous feeding seems to have done the trick. James is now at 3/4 formula 1/4 pedialyte, and his digestive track seems to be tolerating this. There is evidence that his colitis was set off by all this, making the recovery a longer process than normal. We're hoping that we can make it straight formula tonight yet, and if all goes well, go home tomorrow. Steph is really hoping for this, hoping to be joined to her family, her house, and I think most of all right now, her bed. James really perked up today, and is much back to himself as far as energy and character goes. He received another early birthday present today when Marietta came to visit, and boy did his face light up when he unwrapped the package of hotwheels race cars! There was no hiding his glee. He's already put on many kilometers, even done some cliff jumping off the heat register with them.
Being with James a lot, it was almost inevitable that someone would get his bug too. Since Steph and I are such a sharing couple, we each took half of the virus. Steph got the runny nose, and I got the runs. Thankfully I did not need to dash out of my exam to find a porcelan throne.
How good it is that each week we can start again by worshipping our God, publicly and communally to call upon his name. Hopefully this night will allow us to be refreshed to be able to fully participate in this festivity.
