I just turned 30 recently and I haven't been asked what my favorite dinosaur is in the entire time I've been 30😂. I love Pachycephalosaurus, I think the idea of watching these guys go at it like bipedal goats is pretty cool. So what's your favorite dinosaur?
Hello, my partner and I just recently had our son, this isn't my first child but it's my first time having to stay in the NICU so forgive me if my knowledge isn't up to par. Also apologize for what is probably going to be a long running ramble as I try to cover every bit of info that comes to my brain as to not miss anything pertinent
Pregnancy was completely normal with no complications but he was born with a "bronchial cleft" that the Drs were concerned about in regards to whether or not it was restricting his airways/eating; they began discussing the need for him to be seen by a surgeon and the nearest child surgeon was out of a hospital a little over 90 minutes away. They transferred him that night and have done numerous tests and scans as well as have had him eating via feeding tube (sorry don't know the appropriate terminology). All the scans have come back fine, the cleft is superficial and is not interfering with anything internally. He is however having some issues eating in the sense that he's not eating as much as he should be, we are on day eight of this stay and I have had to start going back to work; Between my work schedule, getting the other kids back and forth to school and our nearly 2 hour drive back and forth everyday (not mentioning the gas prices) it's becoming more difficult to make it to the NICU everyday to be with him. I was wondering what the parameters for having him possibly transferred back to the original NICU in the Hospital we had him at (only 3 minutes from our home) are. I'm glad he had gotten transferred here so he could be properly looked over by the correct physicians but now that he is stable other than him not meeting the appetite standards it would be more manageable to have him at least closer to home.
If there's any follow up questions I may have not answered in this please ask for clarification. I just want my boy home until he is I don't want to even miss a day of him being in here, but if we could at least make it even a little more manageable by having him moved closer to home it would be a big help.
Also sorry if it just sounds like I'm whining here, after 2 relatively smooth births this out of the blue NICU experience has been whiplash.
