I'm glad the talk with the social worker helped hun, and I'm sorry Flynn took a step back last night - I hope he comes pouncing forwards in leaps and bounds and you get your little man home soon.
I found it gut wrenching having to leave DD in that massive hospital, I could only ever leave her when she had settled back to sleep, but I didn't have any other kids to consider at the time so you have it much harder than I did. Don't be too harsh on yourself hun. Maybe your DH is feeling the pain, just not sure what he can say or do - so he's not doing much (other than maybe thinking?)....Just a thought.
I did consider that too Leesa and I think ur right.
I have been thinking I need to be more aware that he's probably not knowing what to do or say or even feel himself let alone thinking about how I am doing so I should be a bit easier on him but its very hard when I feel like he expects too much of me right now.
I guess we will just manage the best we can and hopefully things will settle down soon.
Flynn is doing much better for now I am just praying he behaves over night and we can get him transferred ASAP
DH tells me that men just want to fix things - and if they can't be manly and fix things they are lost with what to do (not all men are like this, but mine certainly is).
I'll light a candle for Flynn to make a speedy recovery!
Thanks Leesa
Ur right my DH is the same so he must be feeling pretty useless. Ah well we will plod along and hope things just fall into place and be as they should be all of us home together
yep he was born at 31 weeks and 5 days
I have had a better couple of days and I am hoping it will continue to get better and Flynn does too cos if he stays being good then he can be moved to a hospital closer to home then all I need is to get him home from there.
I have been doing all his cares, baths, weighs and tube feeds the last couple of days too so I am hoping it will help to get him home if I can prove I can do it all
