So we were finally released Saturday afternoon. I was so relieved to not have to spend another night in the hospital. Myles was so stir crazy he was crabby.
He is still on every 4 hour neb treatments and twice a day there is 2 meds in one treatment which takes about a half hour to do. We will do both of these for the rest of the winter but can slowly ween down to 3 treatments a day and not waking him up in the middle of the night. Also on an oral steroid and an oral antibiotic. Poor baby! Shoving so much in him to make him all better! The 1 am and 5 am treatments are the worst. But we do it. Doctor said it may take up to 2 weeks to fully recover from what happened.
New challenges have come up.
Myles is a momma's boy. Spending 24/7 with him for how many days in the hospital i can see it happening. It's a struggle to leave the room and have him not crawl bawling to find me.
He wants to be rocked to sleep now and i struggle letting him cry to sleep right now because of the what he went through. I don't mind rocking him since he has NEVER let me. But it is a struggle when i have stuff to do. I know my babies are only babies once and i need to let stuff sit and enjoy every minute. I do!!! But i need some momma time as well! Like showering!!
He does not want to sit still to get his diaper changed. His diaper rash from the antibiotics has been so awful that he doesn't want anyone to touch his bottom. So he screams when you lay him down. I am pinning him just to not get poop everywhere.
He has become a "food" eater. Forget the bottles he wants my eggs and toast, My hamburger, my pasta. Which is good! But i hope he doesn't get back to his tubber self.
I am thankful that we are finally home. And now my challege is to start work full time again tomorrow. I am going to miss these two so much!! I already know i will cry my first day! I pray that i will be strong. And i pray for my husband and the challege he will have with these two tomorrow!
