Day 2: Bitter Sweet

10-16-18  Day 2:
02:24 a.m.
Update on Landon: he is doing well. He has stayed off oxygen all day and HR looks good. They moved IV to his head but that got infiltrated (swollen) so they had to move it again, several other times. He did lose weight and is 4 lbs 12oz. I had to stay another night due to pain and low white blood counts but will get to see him this afternoon. Bryan got to hold him today though. Thank you ALL for the support so far, it's been overwhelming wonderful.

Afternoon:
Today was bitter sweet. I was released from the hospital and was able to visit Landon for a few hours. I decided to come home and rest/recover rather than stay in the city so I can relax and be able to see the boys as well. While I think this was the right choice, it doesn't make it any easier.  I'm home now and thankful for great friends like Shannon Raye, Kimberly Kelly Francis and Candous O'Neil who bought us premie outfits, oatmeal and coffee 😉. Also Leanna Gonser Summers, who brought dinner over for us...it was delicious. It was overwhelming to come home and having that little bit of help was amazing. "Thank you" is not enough.  The boys have been great but don't understand why I keep crying. 😞😢 They have also been very helpful around the house. Overall, Bryan has been my rock. He has handled everything at home with taking the boys to school and practices, along with driving back and forth to see me and Landon. I love him SO much and couldn't do this without him. Thank you all for the support, I'm sorry if I don't respond right away to texts or calls but I truly appreciate all the love we've received.

Day 7 - Getting Stronger

Today marks one week since my baby has been alive yet unable to come home.   I am extremely grateful for the love and support we've received but am still sad that my baby can't rest at home.   Landon is doing well.   He had lost some weight, as to be expected, but it slowly gaining it back.   Over the weekend, he was down to 4 lbs, 10 oz.   Today he weighed 4 lbs, 13 oz.   The IV is out and they dressed him in clothes yesterday and his labs are all normal.   They are increasing his feedings 4ml every other feeding, so every six hours; today he hit his max at 45ml however, I'm not sure yet how well he was able to keep it down.   The nurses are going to start weaning his isolates which means turning down the heat in the incubator 1 degree every 12 hours to see how well he can maintain his own temperature.   They said to expect his feedings or weight to go down because we are asking his body to work harder.   We visited Landon on ...
