Almost home...




This has not been a great day, but it was okay. Shelley called this morning and ... yep.... you guessed it... more tubes! They switched out his old feeding tube for a different kind of tube that goes all the way into his large intestine which is supposed to keep the spitting up or acid reflux to a minimum, so ... we'll see! We can"t wait to call in and be told that they're releasing him from ICU. On a lighter note, Switch's Mi Mi and Paw Paw came to visit again. His Mimi finally got to hold him! She was smiling from ear to ear afterward when we saw them. Paw Paw decided not to hold him, but believe me, he was happy enough for both of them just seeing her get to hold him! He will have his turn soon though. As far as Matthew's condition goes... well, he's doin okay, nothing's really changed for the better. He is on more oxygen today and his breathing is a little sparatic. They are keeping him in ICU until they can figure out what is causing him to have to struggle to breathe so much. He's getting more calories added by the day, so he'll be pumpin out two pound diapers soon! Yaaay mommy! =) We are just so glad and thankful that we are at least getting to spend some time with him. I have to go back to Louisiana soon and get back to work. I hate the idea of leaving because I don't know when he's getting released from ICU. It'll be alright though. I'm sure I'll get to see him again in a couple weeks after he's home! Please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers, we know you all will! I hope you all got to see the video daddy made, it's at the bottom of the blog so if you haven't seen it, scroll down after you're done reading and watch it! Anyway we'll keep everyone posted. God bless. Until tomorrow, that's all for "Life with Switch".
