Don't mess with Mama!

Again, I can't get on the Internet from my room so I can't put any pictures on here. I will get some up soon though. Switch is doing so good after his second surgery. He hasn't had any irregular heart beats today and his blood pressure has been good. He came off the ventilator really well, but he won't take his pacifier anymore. I guess we'll work on that tomorrow. The nurses don't seem to care about it because his pacifiers keep getting thrown away, even the ones I take up there come up missing. He started his feeds around 4:00 this afternoon. When I was up there they were giving him formula. Ugh...Why am I pumping? Him getting breast milk was the one thing from my "birth plan" that I have actually been able to follow through on! Now, for some reason they think my milk isn't good enough. They said the medicine I was taking shouldn't be given to him through my milk. I said "the same medicine I asked three of his doctors, the lactation consultant, two nurses, a nurse practitioner,a midwife, and a medical assistant about and they all said it was fine". I was pretty mad, but I didn't loose it like I did in Target :) I kept my cool and asked the nurse to have whomever made the decision to call me because I have not started taking the medicine and the breast milk is more important to me than anything else!!

Now that my blood pressure has gone down a bit I am going to go to bed. I know once he's in step down again I will be back to waking up to every whimper! As always, thanks so much for the prayers. They mean so much to me and the family!

P.S.- (Daddy added these pics from his phone)

Love to all,
