Things are going well in the Vickoren household. So far so good!!!
We have a new addition to our family, a 10-week-old miniature australian shepheard, who is full of energy.
Joel just loves him to death and they feed off each other continuously. I do have to separate them and put them each in their own corners. :)
We have had an interesting month and yes, its only February 4th.
Last week we had a mishap with Joel's feeding pump, it just stopped working without any warnings. So, we called our infusion department and Jason met them at 9:30 pm to get a loaner pump. Yeah! we can rest easy, NOT !! the very next day the second pump stopped working. Beginning to wonder what was going on, let alone starting to panic, because now there isn't another spare. I immediately called his team of Dr's in Nebraska to let them know what was happening and to find out how they would like me to keep him hydrated. They said to take 150cc's and push through his tube with a syringe 6x's a day, so I wouldn't have to be up all night. Well, I didn't feel comfortable in letting him go all night without anything, so I was up every 4hours instead. He tolerated so well, that I emailed them and asked if we could do something different, and they said sure. Now he is OFF of his pump "ALL DAY LONG"
and only on an infusion from 8-10hrs/night and tolerating well. His weight has actully increased and he is now 30lbs.
I have learned with our lit'l man, that things aren't always as they appear. Whenever something strange happens,something positive happens.
I'll try and post some pic,my computer has been down and I am at work updating his blog.
Looking forward to Spring/Summer ready for nice Sunny wheather. Thanks to the groundhog (hehe)
