Elmo - The Best Medicine!

Well, we brought Maddox to Dr. Saxton today just to make sure we're on top of everything, so Maddox will be better for the holidays. She thought he looked great besides the canker sores all over in his mouth. She said it looks like they're on the home stretch and should clear up very soon. They apparently take 10-14 days to get rid of them. Maddox has laid low with his Mommy & Daddy over the past week. He seems more spunky, but still has eaten no solids since last Tuesday. I don't blame the kid though. He's nursing a ton though, which is great. He's down to 27 lbs 12 ounces now, so he's lost almost a pound since last Thursday's visit. We just can't wait until he's back to his old self again.
Elmo has definitely helped our little guy get through this virus. He asks to watch him every day and likes to hold his little Elmo while he watches. Here he is watching Elmo in Grouchland before we headed to see Dr. Saxton.
Oh, I almost forgot, Maddox has used the potty every morning for 3 days now. Way to go Maddox!

That is the cutest set of PJ's I have ever seen! He looks like a little man sitting there with his big boy hair cut and fancy pj's. Hope he gets better for Saturday! It's been so long since I've seen him- I miss the little guy! :)

And YEAH for the potty! WOO HOO!! Three big cheers for Maddox!!
