Conner's IV is back in...his blood sugar levels just won't stabilize the way they want it to.
I found myself getting extremely frustrated this evening. I really hate that poor Conner has to pass everything with flying colors, just because he is in the NICU. He has good sugars, good sugars, good sugars, and then he has 2 bad sugars and they all FREAK OUT and the IV goes back in. .....Grrr.
I feel like I know better than them. Do I? Maybe I do!
So now that he has IV again (grrrr) they have reduced the amount of food that he gets by mouth, so he was extra super duper hungry the entire time we were there. I gave him his bottle, and he was begging for more. BEGGING. I mean, come on, let me feed my kid! But apparently with the IV fluids and the oral fluids....they need to balance it out and make sure he's not getting too much overall, because that could make him sick. Oh goodness. Then just take the IV out and let the poor boy eat when he's hungry. (Once again, I'm being the mom that's pretty sure she's right.)
I'm encouraged that he has become a really good bottle-feeder. I'm also encouraged that the doctor's say he doesn't "look" like a sugar baby because he is so alert when he eats, and he is alert for quite a while after eating sometimes...so that's good. Sugar babies are usually super tired and lethargic and barely finish their food. So then quit playing around with his IV all the time!
*sigh* They know what they're doing....right?
That's all for now. I need to sleep.

This must be so hard to go through. I can only imagine. The only thing close that I've gone through was when we lost Wyatt I went through 14hours of labor and left the hospital with nothing:/
It took me 3 years to be able to heal to an extent. I'm very proud of you for continuing to relie your faith on God for everything. You are an inspiration so thank-you sincerely for that Kara. I continue to pray for the very best for Conner and your growing Family. Luv you guys <3
