  • home! (0 / 0)

    congratulations on being home, and I'm so glad to hear that Little Guy is fighting strong. Good news on the vision and on the bottlefeeding, and I sure hope he can go back to the breast soon. I'm sure you both would crave the close contact!

    I hear you on the patience/living in the moment thing; I'm a planner too. If I can't at least sketch out a few scenarios, I don't deal well.

    So glad for the update and I'll echo tjb and say I hope you can take time for yourself. You deserve it and need it!

      It's hard because I don't really think it helps me here at all.  Right now I just need to keep on taking him to our excellent cardiologist.  When we were in the hospital my 'one step ahead' way of looking at things definitely helped get quicker diagnoses, which was good.

      The recovery with his vision, as evidenced by gaze preference and tracking, is really amazing.  It speaks to how plastic infant brains are!

        and it sounds to me as if your little man is definitely a fighter. I'm so glad you've got a cardiologist that you feel so positively about.

        BTW, I'm with you on in-law strategies. I find that if I hang around when my PILs are taking care of Jess, I just get totally agitated!
