Jack's New Home

I'm sitting at Children's Hospital, Jack's new home until he gets better and comes home with us for good! He was transported yesterday morning from University Hospital, and everything went very smoothly. We are being quite spoiled at Children's. Jack has a private room, with a bathroom, TV, Internet hook-up, and even a pull out sofa chair. So far we've become very comfortable with all of the staff and we're happy to be settled and looking forward to some positive news soon. Jack's OR scope is scheduled for Friday, and that is where we will most likely get our answers about what is going on with the poor guy's air way. He was able to extubate himself last Sunday...which was terrible and unfortunately the same outcome as when he was extubated intentionally the weekend prior. For now we don't have anything much to do until Friday. Just continue keeping him as calm and resting as possible, which is tough because he is big and strong. He last weighed 7lbs 15oz and all of that is muscle!

Maggie is getting spoiled again today, and this time AT Grandpa and Grandma's house! Our cable is out for some reason, so I offered to pack her up and take her to them.

Here she is napping.


She is continuing to do well. Yesterday morning I got up with her at 4am for her feed, showered and dressed and Brian dropped me off at the hospital on his way into work. I was with Jack until 10:30pm last night. I missed my little Maggie, but I was happy to be with Jack all day and make sure he got settled in comfortably. Splitting my time between these two in different places has been quite a challenge! When I got home last night Maggie was fortunately sleeping, so Brian and I crashed. Unfortunately she woke up at 12:30am, and I broke my "no babies in bed" rule. I had to sleep! She and I slept through her 1am feed, and then she woke up at 4am. After her 7am feed she and I slept on the couch and after her 10am feed I finally had to drag myself up and got going. I'm tired...but luckily I can "rest" in Jack's room. He is still sleeping, when he wakes up we'll get some good cuddle time in.
