Watch out ladies, Ira's back on Viagra. We are going to give Ira a chance at keeping his pulmonary hypertension in check with the Viagra. This is good as Viagra is an oral medication. If it works, Ira won't need the Flolan that has to be administered through the Broviac line which, in turn, means that Ira can lose the Broviac. This would be huge as it would be one less constricting device Ira has to deal with.
Ira had a good day. He was awake all morning and afternoon with Laura and Grandma and asleep all afternoon and evening with me. I am a pretty boring guy but Ira, cut me some slack. I woke him up to change his diaper and take his temp and he was not happy about it. He gave me this pitiful look until I started fake sneezing which brought a smile to his face. What is it with fake sneezes and babies anyway?

Leah was actually quite afraid of things like sneezes and nose-blowing as an infant, but I know most babies are more like Ira and find it quite funny. Good job, Dad.
We are thrilled that he is doing so well after the surgery and that Grandma is staying around a little longer. Our prayers remain with you. It's fun to see Ira so chubby and adorable and alert - what amazing eyes. Almost takes your focus off the crazy hair-do. ;)

It is SO good to read that Ira had another good day! My husband and I are praying constantly for him. He is so darling in his pictures; doesn't LOOK sick! Most 4 month olds would be proud to have enough hair to cut into a mohawk! God bless you and yours!
The little boys seem to enjoy the fake fart noises, too.
They like fake sneezing because it sounds like you're farting out of your mouth. Yeah, kinda like what that last guy said. Babies just like fart stuff in general.
I visited your blog through a link on Mike Cope's website, and through the last several days caught up on Ira's story. I want to let you know that I'm praying for your family and will continue to follow your journey. May God bless you all!
I needed some happy news this morning as I am about to take my oldest to start her second grade year. ugh. Ira is adorable and so healthy looking even with those cpap lines. And it does my heart good to hear he is an easy audience like most babies. Ann C.
That's not a BABY thing....that's a BOYYYYYYY thing!!!
Did you hear about the cowboy who went into the dentists's office to get two teeth pulled. The dentist said, "Sit down and I'll give you some anesthesia while we pull these out." The cowboy said, "No, Doc, anesthesia makes me sick at my stomach for days." The dentist said, "Okay, then I'll give you some Tylenol P.M. with Codeine." The cowboy said, "No, Doc, that will make me have a migraine headache for days." The dentist said, "Okay. Here's a pill called Viagra. Swallow this." The cowboy said, "What? I don't need any Viagra; I said I have a toothache." The dentist said, "Pardner, you're going to need something to hang onto while I pull those teeth!"
Well, Joe, your mother has sunk to a new low! A dirty joke on your website!
So thankful for Ira's good day yesterday and his smile when his daddy plays like he's sneezing! I found that he likes for me to talk like Donald Duck! That brought some sweet expressions from Ira but some doubtful looks from the nurses and other passersby!
Love you guys,
Mom/Gram/Glo
Have you read "Farm Flu"? you may have made it through seminary without reading it, but we have found it a parenting must... It was Josiah's first laugh out loud book, at about the same age as Ira. People and animals sneezing away!!!
Huh?!? Fake sneezing? I'll have to try that with Rowan sometime. That made me laugh. As did the opening line of this post.
(too many typos, lets start over)
Oh Glo, thats awesome. Here I am at work busting out in laughter. Good laugh, thanks.
Heres my psychology of it, maybe its one of the few things we don't have control over (or pretend to in front of our kids) and its funny to them. So in reality, they aren't laughing with us... but who cares. Its fun to make them laugh.
Jackson and I were reading a train book, and he calls them the "loco moco" and now evertime I say locomoco, he busts out. Those little sillys are only learned when we spend time with our kids. Cherish those times brother. And find out what makes him laugh.
