Snowed "out" of NICU :(

Atlanta is shut down. Tonight was supposed to be my night to visit while DH stayed home with the older kids. It was also only "supposed" to possibly snow with accumulations of less than half an inch. Tomorrow's temps won't reach above 32 long enough to get the roads clear enough for travel. So maybe Thursday I can get to him?

My hubby drove less than 10 miles from work and had to get a hotel room because traffic and roads were so bad. Thankful he got the last room available and managed to get a sandwich before the cafe across the street closed early. What a mess.

 Hugs to my fellow moms in this sad situation!!!

    I've been lucky enough to be able to stay in a family room each time it was forecast to snow or was already snowing. It's kinda fun to have sleepovers at the hospital with my son! Wish we could have them at home soon!

    Just got home from the NICU! :):) .. except the leaving again part, but I'll be back in action tomorrow. Road conditions were pretty clear, still quite a few abandoned vehicles that are in the process of being towed away. There was a huge patch of ice at the off ramp to the hospital but thankfully I navigated it without trouble.
    Little Ricky has a swallow test tomorrow and an ENT eval. They put him on Prilosec today since Zantac was not helping, as predicted. The Stridor has also become more obvious.
     I was able to get him to latch and nurse for just a few minutes before he wimped out on me, and his nurse had a bottle ready so I could help him finish his PO feed. It was such a relief to finally get to hold and cuddle with him again.
    Thanks for letting me vent!
