Howard and I had a not so pleasant experience today, as I tube fed him for the first time myself. Poor guy doesn't like that very much.... Scarily, he seems to still be getting worse. Which I know perhaps it will take some time before we start to see good signs (if we do) but as a caregiver to this little baby, it disturbs me greatly. The fluid buildup under his skin has gotten much, MUCH worse.



His redness has spread even more, as you can probably see and is now beginning to become prominent on his back and neck.

He still isn't drinking anything nor is he moving around in his tank, I left for a few hours to run errands today and came home to find him in the same position, in the same spot.

Also, yesterday he weighed in at 122g... Today he weighed just 117g. I'm hoping my scale just goofed, but I check three times.



Despite this, when I took him out to feed him this morning, he seemed pretty happy and was giving me kisses and trying to get tangled in my hair. I love this little guy


Here are some pictures of him before the redness began in case you wanted to see:



Even though he's a thin dude, he's a cutie.
