  I'm not much help at all but I'm praying you find your answers & everything works out for you guys

that must be awful.. but as much as you need him he needs to be there tohelp support your family.. you can try applying for aid and talk to local churches..

Thank you. Im hoping to find some help too. I dont have family that can help out much and im not sure what to do. My husband and son can stay in the hospital with me, its just feeding them and getting them to and from home to get them and me things is the killer.

Do you have ANY family that can watch the kids?
While I was in the hospital both times with this baby (3-4 days each stay in a time san of 2 weeks) DH only stayed as long as he could and went back to work. The kids went from my mom, to my MIL, to my BIL, to DH's grandma. It sucks for them, but we financially can't afford for DH to miss any work and it sounds like you're in a similar situation.
If your family can't babysit, can they help pay for a babysitter? That was run second option if I were to have to stay longer this second time.

Try the ronald mcdonald house. Idk if there is one around you. But they really helped out my cousin who had her son siuper early.

Ask to have one of the special care social service workers come in. If there is anything that can help they will know if there is any help for you. Good luck!

No family to watch kids.


Looking into more of the ronald mc donald house today.

i didnt read the comments so idk if it was mentioned yet, but i would try churches and the ronald mc donald house. i remember a lot of talk about it on TLC. lol
i would also ask the hospital if maybe they know of some resources.
