| Turbo was spitting up a little again today, not at bad as before...But was not fed the night before and got his morning feeding later.
His back legs have also been swelling a lot over the last few days, does not seem as if he is absorbing his fluids properly.
Today he has seemed weaker then at any point before. ;( |

| Comments | Back legs |
| He doesn't resist having them pulled out, but will sometimes pull them back in on his own, and may try to pull his leg back if you pinch his foot a little.
This is progress from the beginning when he would just twitch them a little. |

| Immediately after his afternoon feeding, the baby food started to back wash through the feeding tube and 5-10 minutes later he started to spit it up. Came out through his mouth and nose.
Continued to regurge off and on for about 20 minutes.
He also released large amounts of urine at this time. |

| Turbo seems to be moving around a bit more today, especially right after a feeding. He also spent a little bit of time outside enjoying the sun and breeze.
He has also been opening/holding his eyes open more and more. Will decrease his drops to one drop a day starting Monday, July 1st. |
