No matter how you type it, it just doesn’t sound the same as when Joey from Friends says it.
Ok, enough about you. Let’s talk about me now. That is why we are here isn’t it?
Today seems off to a good start. It is 6:45 am and I already have a second load of clothes in the dryer. Yeah me! Mind you, washing the clothes - no problem. It’s the folding and putting away of the clothes that I can’t stand! — The light on Jill’s iguana cage keeps blinking on and off. I am not sure why. I still feel a bit detached from reality at the moment, but I am slowly catching up on things and getting back into the swing of a somewhat normal routine.
Jenene is pumping milk for Phoenix every 3 hours around the clock. I don’t know how she does it. Well I /do/ know how she does it, I remember from school. I was talking about the getting up every 3 hours. Phoenix is only getting nourishment from IV fluids so it is all going into the freezer. We actually plan to pick up a small chest freezer to keep it all in.
Phoenix is doing well. The doctors had hoped to be able to fully reduce the Gastroschisis and close his belly this Friday, but we were told yesterday that doesn’t look that will happen. He is having daily bowel movements, so we have some indication that things are somewhat working properly with his insides.
It is tough not being able to hold him, especially when he is upset or in pain. If he gets too uncomfortable they will give him a bit of morphine, which quickly calms him down. He does calm down when we are there and tends to fall asleep. Not that big a deal, as we would rather have him sleeping and getting better.
Below is a quick clip from the other day and of course my Flickr account is updated frequently.
So it’s weird to say, but that baby looks old
He looks wise beyond his years already!
Yeah, I see that too. Not so much in person though.. but in the video.. aye.
