Day 32: Frankie Fish gets a day off

Frankie Fredbird was given a day to rest. No decrease in air and no increase in feeds. They will start increasing feeds tomorrow. They will increase at a pace of 1 cc a 24 period now instead of 12. I am worn out and tired so there isn't going to be much to this. Frankie Spankiebrefused to sleep tonight. He napped for about 2 hours of us being here but otherwise fought it. My dad and Jaclyn came up and visited for a short bit. Frankie Fortune got a bath and watched the Cardinals win game 1 with me. But then like switch, as soon as the game ended, he was very unhappy. Guess he was a Texas fan. For the next 2 hours we worked to get him happy. Half the problem is when he gets upset, it makes it hard for him to breath and that makes him more upset. Holding, laying left, right, center, sitting up, swing, boppie, just couldn't get him comfortable. Finally around midnight, he wore himself out and threw in the towel. He has been asleep, sitting up in his boppie for the last 30 minutes and was quietly sitting there for about 15 minutes before that. I think he got so upset because he was exhausted and fighting it and then it compounded. Hopefully he rests up and does better.

Sometimes you just gotta air it out...
