Today started off badly, no it wasn’t with the boys but what we had found out before their noon care time. Ash and I were leaving the McDonalds, and had walked down the hill to where we usually have to park our car or jeep. Well usually we have both vehicles parked down on the street but the night before we had parking spot for the jeep. We had our usual stuff, cameras, the pump, some lunch for us, and what Ash had pumped from the night before and early morning. I was driving so I went to the driver’s side door, obviously. Before I had even attempted to open the door I had noticed something different about our car and I as I walked closer I saw a small hole in our window and it was completely shattered and looked like a spider web. Ya, some P.O.S shot our window with a pellet or bee-bee gun. They made us miss a care time with the boys, waste our time looking for a place to replace our window, and have to deal with the insurance company. So today could have gone a lot better, but what can you do?
We were still able to see the boys and that brightened our day. They are both doing well, but they still have a ways to go before we are able to take them home. Braylon is still having brady spells, and Kaden is still breathing to heavy for us to be able to nipple feed him as much as we want. The doctor and physical therapist decided that we could feed Kaden as long as his respiratory rate was under 60 breaths per minute. Last night and yesterday he was able to take 3 bottle feedings, which were 21, 23, and 40mL. Kaden’s full feed is 40mL so that was great, but later on he was tuckered out and his respiratory rate was too high for him to try anymore. We figured that we would give the guy a rest, like the nurses say “he’s not going home tomorrow, so no point in pushing him too much.” Braylon has still been doing well on his feedings, but he seems to get a little tired every now and then. He weighs 5lbs 6.5oz and Kaden weighs 4lbs 5oz. The boys are gaining some weight and trying to get out as fast as they can. Mom and Dad hope they will get out soon, so we don’t have any more un-expected costs. Dad got a speeding ticket the other day also, yay me!

Oh man... that sucks!! Someone ran into my car when I was in the hospital too and I had to get that fixed while I was there. Must just be a part of the deal (and a crappy one at that!!) Keep your heads up. You are on the downward spin now.
ReplyDeleteWell...at least you had someone to blame for the windshield - an unknown assailant. Try accepting a broken one because you decided to hose off a dirty windshield in 100 degree weather - I couldn't blame it on your grandmother!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear. Hang in there you will be home before you now it!
