Mommy Update
Thank you everyone for all of the encouraging comments, phone calls, texts, emails, and cards. Everyone had been so thoughtful. A special thanks to my mom & dad and sister who came all the way out to Pittsburgh to drive me to the hospital to see James when I was not allowed. So many of you keep asking how I'm doing so I thought I'd let you all know that I'm doing well. My doctor is very pleased with my healing process. The pain killers were a life saver for the first week, but I'm off of them now. I'm driving again as of today (one day early...shh, don't tell). I'm pumping my little heart out, but still can't keep up with James' appetite. I'm taking some really gross herbs 4 times a day to help increase my supply...we shall see if they work. I wish I could do more for him, but he has great nurses and doctors getting him what he needs. So basically, I'm doing as well as can be expected for someone who spends a large marjority of her time at the hospital bedside of her newborn son. Please keep on praying for James to grow fast so he can have his surgery and come home soon...or you can pray for a miracle that his esophagus will grow so much that the surgery will become unnecessary!!

Many prayers coming your way! You are a great mommy already!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing such a fabulous job! Pumping is NOT fun...it is a ridiculously tedious, annoying and uncomfortable chore. You are amazing! I'm thrilled to hear that you are healing well...I've been wondering how you've been doing. It is a tough road that you're on, but you both are handling it with such grace and love. We are so proud of you! Let us know what we can do from here!
