No bandages, wires, or remnants of an umbilical cord (it fell off yesterday).
Mom is so tired! We're still trying to get his sleep schedule on track. He sleeps so well from 3:00 am until 11:00 am and I am able to sleep an hour every three. He eats every 3 hours and it takes an hour for the pump to get his food into his tummy, after that I have to pump breast milk and get his medicine together, then I sleep for an hour (if he's cooperating) and then I wake up to get the food ready....all day. I think I need the cloning machine or an extra pair of arms! Last night was rough because he was a meltdown and NOTHING would calm him down. I tried everything! Then I broke down and gave him some Tylenol and it kicked in around the time the doctor from the heart center called me back. There was no fever and the Dr seemed to think he was a little "backed up". Sure enough after he finally made a poop he was good! I was quite stressed out though! In the discharge class they told us that if we can't calm them down we needed to go straight to an E.R. and I was wanting to avoid the hospital, but I had my purse and diaper bag ready to go. The doctor from the heart center knew exactly who I was....Switches Mom :) I didn't recognize the doctors name, but he knew that I was Switches mom! My kid and his nickname is famous through Children's hospital as it is quite creative....Dad did good!
I apologize for not blogging last night, but I didn't do much of anything after packing all day. Many thanks to Mi Mi, Paw Paw, and my friends Danny and Katrina for coming to help!! I am going to hook my son up to his feeding pump and all that other stuff so I can catch a little nap before it all starts again. Love to all and thanks, as always, for your thoughts and prayers!!!
