Nov 4 - week 8 @ home

Current weight: 5.82 kg
Gestational age: 6 months, 1 week
Corrected age: 12 weeks
Parents exhaustion level: high

• 2 sleeping kids, 1 sleeping husband... I'm up because in mere moments, Ryan will be too.  Feeding is still a roller coaster, and it's one that comes with many deep breaths and digging very deep for patience.  Luckily we've been seeing a feeding specialist (where was she 8 weeks ago!?)  We now have a lot of re-training to do 
• Ryan has some super bad reflux and I'm searching high and low for a cure.  I even caved and bought a pro-biotic to see if that can help things out.  
• He was hospitalized for 2 nights last week.  He'd had a cold, it wasn't getting better, I got worried, the ER doc thought it was aspirate pneumonia, it wasn't, the storm came, our doc didn't want us driving home, Ry got a new feeding tube put in, we stayed an extra night, we came home, I was beyond exhausted, emotional, and stressed... Ry seems to be on the mend - we survived the first cold. I DREAD the next one. I don't think it'll 'get easier'.  EVER.
• Long story about the hearing assessment, and it's not an overly happy one, so I'm going to wait to tell it.  I'd rather play with some pictures while I have time.

... Ryan has other ideas... maybe another day...
