I know I'm a NICU grad, but I'll keep running this for the NICU moms until we don't have any more!
1. How old is baby? If premature, tell us adjusted age/gestation as well
2. How long is your expected nicu stay?
3. How is baby doing?
4. How are you feeling, emotionally?
Re: NICU check-in
We've got a pre-op appointment in a couple weeks and I think we'll set a date for surgery then.
Big hugs to all who are still on this journey. **hugs**
We're hoping to only be here 3-4 more weeks for surgical recovery. He still has drains in.
Zachary is doing amazing. The team calls him their rock star. He hasn't needed pain meds at all since surgery and is breast feeding like a Cham despite not being able to get out of bed.
I am doing okay. The 24 hours before surgery were the worst, I just held him and cried all day. I still cry every night when I have to leave him, but I'm better for him all day when I sleep in a bed and not the chair at his bedside.
Congrats to all if you who are home. Hopefully we'll join you soon.
