he-man woman hater

Jeremiah was pretending to be asleep today, so I asked him if he needed a nap. He said "Miah doesn't need a nap, girls need naps." Wow.

6 months

I can't believe it, Jacob is 6 months old now. It doesn't feel like he should be that old, but at the same time it feels like we have been dealing with Dr's, meds, feeding problems, etc forever. He has managed to stay off of the TPN for a few weeks now, and the Dr is really hopeful that he is going to be able to stay off of it. He isn't growing nearly as well without it, but he is still getting bigger. We took another trip down to Primary Children's last week for an ultrasound, and the blood clot in Jacob's neck hasn't changed at all. The radiologist thinks the vein is probably going to be permanently blocked. I don't know what that means longterm, but in the meantime Jacob still has to be on blood thinners, which I am not thrilled about. Hopefully it will only be for another month.  

I love my boys

home again

Well, we are home again. Jacob is on blood thinners until the clot in his neck is gone. The Dr really didn't want to put in a new PICC because of all of the problems he has had with them, so they increased Jacob's feeds a lot faster than we had been doing, and we went home without TPN. Jacob is losing weight, so hopefully Iwill be able to increase his feeds enough in the next few days to get him enough calories. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
