Update

Yesterday when we went to visit Conner, his blood sugar levels had dipped. Again. I was so discouraged. So they decided to up his feedings again, so that he had to drink 47 cc's every 3 hours.

His levels didn't stabilize. It was low again.

So now they've decided to feed him a little bit less, and feed him every two hours instead of three. Hopefully this will help keep his levels up a bit.

Sigh.

I really really hope and pray that it works. I want him to come home so badly, it hurts! Last night I had a bit of a breakdown. My heart is being torn in half, and there's nothing I can do about it. Isaiah is so smart, and he knows exactly what's going on, and it really hurts him that mommy hasn't been around much lately. He tells me often how much he misses me and he just cries. It's heartbreaking. On the other hand, all I want to do is be at the hospital and comfort my little newborn baby. And we need to go grocery shopping and I need to get this house cleaned. There just aren't enough hours in a day. I need to clone myself.

I will be calling the NICU this morning to see how Conner did overnight with the more-frequent feedings, and will hopefully update later with some good news.

Thanks for the prayers

xoxo
