Hello all. Sorry i have not been on in a while. I have been crazy busy. Okay so the pneumonia is tons better. Still there but better. She is finally OFF oxygen. :) I am so excited about that. She has to have it at feedings but eh much better than all the time. She did gain some weight but we lost some of it two days ago and have yet to gain it back. The on call pedi seems not to be bothered by it. So whatever. The pedi wants to try her on regular feeds today. She says that they might have to go back to tube feedings but they want to evaluate her on the feeding situation. I am open to that but scared of a back slide. We have had our two steps forward i am not ready for any backwards.
I am really considering going to pumping exclusively. Just because she gets tired at the breast and we can not track her real input output like her heart doc needs. I just can't make that decision. It is so hard. I really dont want to have to pump all the time. But dont want to have to do formula at all costs. I just dont know.
As for me. I am much better now that the doc assisted me with some medication. I am not as emotional and feel much better about the situation. I am very nervous for our cardi appt on Tuesday. I am so nervous everytime they have a echo and stuff. I just want to get it done and over with. I hate that cloud hanging over me. It SUCKS! But yeah. Well i will update more tomorrow. Hopefully home before christmas!

Still thinking of you and your family, and hoping the best for little Kenadie. Im really glad she's off oxygen, that's great! And also glad that you've gotten some new medication to help you out, too. You need your own health and sanity as well. You have been so strong through all of this... it's amazing.
I'm sure that the decision to pump exclusively or not, is not going to be easy... I dont know what the best thing for you to do is, but I know that if I were in your shoes, Id be agonizing about it too. I would personally hate to have to feed my baby formula, especially when I was producing enough milk on my own. I know it can't be an easy choice. But whatever you decide, I know you'll do whatever is best for her.
I will be praying that everything checks out well with the cardiac appt on Tuesday! My ob appt is at 2pm, what time is hers?
