TCH Days 7-9 :: Bad Luck Mommy

I received these pics from the Daddy over the weekend:



SMILES, SMILES, SMILES
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY

Over the weekend, he lost 7cm off of his belly circumference. His belly is SOFT and they did not need to diuresis him for the past two days. WOW! When the team rounded on him this morning, the people who have not seen him since Friday were amazed at how great he looks and how happy he was.
Yea!
Dr. Karpin (the big cheese) is on hospital service for the next two weeks. He cut W's TPN down to 20 hours. 
Unfortunately, we spent those wonderful, iv free hours in ultrasound and really didn't get to eat...so our blood sugar was a little low before we had to reconnect. 

Anywho, so why the bad luck title?
I can't help but feel that I REALLY have a black cloud pouring on me ALL THE TIME. Make someone has a black candle lit on me...
SO, the first week here was not the easiest. Wes was cranky and hurting most of the time as we worked to devise a game plan to get him to feeling better.
And he did!! Saturday...for the daddy
E had a great week and was happy and sweet...for the daddy
For mommy, she was uber tired and snotty. Combine the mucous and crying...puke...FOUR TIMES.
The mommy comes back to the hospital, we have to have 3 hour ultrasounds and glucose pokes.

Tomorrow is going to be a good day. Tomorrow is going to be a good day.

There is no black cloud, candle, etc. over you, my dear. None of us can truly fathom how difficult it is to watch your baby go through what Weston has had to over the past 6 months.
New montra (sic) ... there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

Love,
