How are you doing?  Are you getting any better?

Erika&Brian

I am OK. I am still in hospital, so ready to go home. I really thought after today they would let me out, but the Dr. wants to do more tests tomorrow. They still can't figure out where the bleeding is coming from :-(. I have not had any active bleeding since yesterday, which is good and bad (bad because it?s not helping their testing results). It is somewhere in the GI tract, just hasn?t been pinpointed.

I miss my boys so so much. Grant came up here with Brian yesterday but it pretty much traumatized him that he had to leave and he cried the whole way home hysterically for me, so I told Brian not to bring him tonight. I haven't seen Brady awake since Sunday at like 7pm. He is way too young to be in a hospital environment unnecessarily. Just makes me so sad. I know they are in good hands, just wish they were mine. My parents flew in from Tampa to help Brian. Brady is just such a mama?s boy, breaks my heart that I can?t be there with him. .

I did keep pumping, but this morning only got like 2.5 ounces so my supply is definitely tanking. I think much of that is because I wasn't allowed to eat real foods for over 2 days, so my body just couldn't expend energy on milk. I had a lot of freezer stash, but he's now been on that for 4 days at 6-8 bottles a day so it's almost gone and he'll definitely have to go on formula. Pretty sure my nursing career is over, and I?ve come to terms with that being OK. Trying to pump with IV?s, gowns, nurses coming in, etc has not been fun.

 

Thank you for checking in on me!

I've been thinking about you! So sorry you are still in the hospital. I can't imagine how tough it must be to be away from your boys.

Is there anything I can do for you? Do you need anything? I'd be more than happy to stop in for a visit!

Hope you get to go home soon!

I hope they find out what is going on with you soon and you can get home to your sweet kiddos.
