Pre-Poop

This morning I got to change a diaper that had a little trace of that new baby tar. We've been waiting to see some output with all the input he's had and today we started. I showed the nurse and she decided he needed a little help. She inserted a very mild suppository and Tyler instantly pushed that out and a small jelly bean of tar. YEAH! another system coming online. Right now it's hard for him to concentrate on pooping while breathing. They have a hard time holding their breath in order to push. We are waiting for another good bowel movement, he still looks a little full. Overall right now he look comfortable despite all the pin pricks and holes in his little body. He had 4 attempts for a regular IV. (Tyler 4, nurse 1). Still his spunky self.
