jocelyns stay at the hospital is even longer

I got really good news on saturday while i was home, Jocelyn was taking all of her feeds by mouth, and sunday she was getting her NG tube taken out. Sunday, her tube came out, and she started to eat more and more and gaining more weight. Monday, the doctor said she was able to come home on tuesday(today). They did their rounds, and when i was feeding her around 3, the doctor came up to me and told me she had to stay until saturday because she brady on sunday night. I looked at her like she was stupid and said "NO, it was a misread on the monitor." well i guess she had one after i fell alseep and the nurse had to stimulate her to get her heart rate back up. So with having a brady, she has to have 5 days of no bradys to go home. i was so ready to come home today, and when i heard that, i just about lost it. she was doing so well and it just drops. at first i was pissed cause i wanted to come home and i was being selfish, but then i got to think, i would rather her be alright, then they send her home knowing that her heart was droping right before she left and have her die of SIDS at home.. then i would lose it. shes all i got now, shes my life and my little girl made miracles happen. but im so tired of the hospital, i have been in "A" hospital since the 10th. im ready to sleep in my own bed. and now freak out when i hear an alarm go off..

I hope ur lil one gets better soon. Ur right though, its better for her to be in the hospital til she is completely better. Good Luck w/ everything though...

I was there with my littlest he was born at 35 weeks, and he stayed in the NICU for three weeks. He was doing really well after about a week and they had let me start nursing and then he had seven bradys in one night. It would make me so sad because they would say I bet he can come home next weekend and then it would always get extended. I know it feels like forever but when your baby gets out, it will seem like no time at all.

hi i know the feeling. My son has been in the hospital for 6 months and 4 days now. He has had so many set backs. One thing i learned through this experience is everything happens for a reason. Its best this happened in the hospital verses at home. Just keep the hope. Everything works out for the best.
