Feeding Frenzy
Sorry, no picture this time. I forgot the camera at the hospital, so you'll have to wait till I go back. I thought I should give a Cade update though. He's got a clean bill of health but... (yeah, don't you hate those "but"s, they always mean that you can now ignore everything said up to that point) ... the hospital wants him to stay until he's eating well. He is still being fed through a tube in his nose every other feeding (and nursing/bottle on the other), and they want him to get in eight good consecutive nursing/bottle feedings before discharging him. The nurses think that will take a few days (read 2-6) depending on when it clicks. They're basically treating him like a premature baby, because all of symptoms he's had are just what babies go through when they come early, and the feeding issue is right along with it.
In related news, Kami's mom is coming up to spend a while with us and help with all the challenges having a Mom-less house. I have to say that I've been very humbled by the recognition that I'm not a good Mom. I am in fact, quite a failure as a Mom. Reagan won't be scarred for life or anything, but I think we both prefer it when I play the Dad in the family.
In totally unrelated news, there is a Democratic convention going on. I hope I can catch up on my politics after this whole episode.
P.S. One of the forthcoming pics features Reagan holding Cade.
