Bump was more like a hill..

SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM POST TO STAY IN ORDER...

Last night's scare of the bradys has simmered down. Jett had a really good day today. The doctors agreed to cut back on his feeds a little bit and think reflux may have been the culprit! They're going to continue to watch him and see how he does with the break before they up his feeds again tomorrow.

The hardest part right now is getting Jett to tolerate his food. They gradually increase it so that he can eventually get to 100% breastfeeding for 30minutes/3hours apart. Right now, he's still on a feeding tube through his nose, 2on/2off. That means his food is fed to him for 2 hrs and then he rests for 2 hrs.

We are on such a roller coaster. We are on the up and up for a few days and then...WHAM! Joel and I are exhausted. Joel is working two jobs to make ends meet and I drive to the hospital (45min.) in the morning, leave at 4pm to let the doggies out. I wait for Joel to get home and then we drive up together to tuck him in and say, "Goodnight".

Tonight is the first night that I haven't gone. I cried when Joel left, but I have to sleep. As you can see, I'm not sleeping. It's good for me to blog and clean the house. All of his nurses tell me to rest and take time for me, but it's so hard when my time belongs to Jett. On the other hand, he's coming home soon and I want his new home to be perfect for him. We have a long way to go, but it will be here before we know it.
