I'm so happy with our Pediatrician. He is truly amazing and is on top of stuff. He personally calls me, unheard of I know, to check on how Madi is doing, how meds are doing, test needing to be done, test results, etc. He has her file on his desk that he reviews every so many days. This is just great! I'm so excited to have him for the babes.
We are still planning on Gracie coming home tomorrow but she has to either stay the same weight or gain tonight in order for them to release her. Since she can only take 70-75 mls of formula they increased the calories to 24 (it was 22). "Normal" term babies are on 20 calorie formula Brody is at 26. Anyway, tomorrow looks to be very busy. I'm so excited! Can't wait because she will be home and I can spend time with her all day but I can also spend more quality time with Brody too. It is hard getting there so late at night and having to see both of them. I can't hold them a lot because of the unit hours and if they are sleeping so this will be good.
We have moved Brody's goal back to HOME BY CHRISTMAS! This is very hard for me. THE BOY HAS TO BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS! He is almost 9 pounds. I hate the fact that he is growing up at the hospital. Breaks my heart for him. I know he needs to be there until he is ready but he also needs to be home. Not because of me but for him. It is not normal to live in the hospital away from your family. Sometimes I feel like he doesn't even know who I am. Why would he really? I can only go every other day, it is always late at night, he is usually not awake, so why would he know me? Really makes me sad.
Moving on..... Still waiting to find out about where Ricky's job will lead us.......... Really ready to know :o)
