We were so close

StephNordenmalm · March 2014

My DH and I were so excited our little guy was going to be discharged from the hospital today. Was planning on going up around noon today so I could run a last few errands before be cam home. DH called the NICU just to check in, LO was circumcised yesterday. His nurse goes on to tell him that he had two Bradys this morning. I just can't believe it. He hasn't had one in four days and only has had about 3-4 since he was born and learning to feed from a bottle. So two in one feeding seems like a lot.

So I doubt he is coming home today. I am just a mess. I kept telling myself there was a chance this might happen but I got my hopes up as I got things organized in

his room last night. I feel so let down and sad. I'm just tired, tired of sitting at the hospital for

hours at a time. I just want my little guy home.

Thanks for reading just needed to vent a little. I'm gonna head up to the hospital and see what the doctor says.

I hear you, mama. One day in the NICU I didn't have a choice but to witness a circumsicion. It's an ordeal of sorts. Of course they closed the curtains around the baby and I thanked God my twins are girls. But this baby was tiny and sensitive and screamed just for being on the table. It's a spell worthy event. You don't want him coming home like that. He's so close I know. We're going on day 85 with our girls. Praying for Sunday or Monday for one twin. He'll be ok and you'll find that him staying is for the best. I know it suuuucks. I still cry often. He'll be home before you know it.

I'm sorry. This happened to another mom here today. One twin went home Tuesday and The other was supposed to come home today, but had a Brady' last night...but you would rather this happen at the hospital than at home.. It will happen soon! Praying he gets to come and patience for you until he does!!

I'm so sorry, thinking about you and hope you bring your baby home soon.

aw, I'm so sorry!!

By the time we were close to discharge, the dr determined my son to be "too mature" to have a circ. We will have to go back when he's around 6 months to a pediatric urologist because he will have to have general anesthesia. .. not looking forward to that.

Hopefully it won't be very much longer of a delay for your guy!

Oh man. I'm so sorry. This happens often and it happened to us. It helped me to realize he just wasn't quite ready when and that was our sign. I wanted him to stay as long as he needed to avoid having issues at home that I wasn't prepared to deal with. Give him another few days and I'm sure things will turn around. Hugs!!!

So frustrating! But you are very close to going home!

I'm sorry :-( but you're almost there and then he'll be home with you for good! It's better that they make sure he won't have any at home, but it's so hard when you have your hopes up and then something like this happens. I hope he's brady-free from here on out so you can get out of the NICU!!

Big hugs. I'm so sorry

Thanks so much ladies, as hard as it is I know everyone is right and he'll be home soon. Looks like they are going to watch him for another few days. He had his first one while breastfeeding today which scarred me he had been doing so well and had only had issues with the bottle. He is just such an eager feeder now, he sucks like crazy and got choked up. I'm hoping as he gets closer to the 37 week mark he will start to do better. He's eating lile crazy the nurses say he is eating 70ml+ and he is gaining weight. Now we just have to get past these Brady's.

Thanks again for all the support .

Stay positive! He'll be home very soon, and as a PP said, better for him to have the episodes in the NICU rather than at home with you. Hang in there; you're almost there!
