Say a little prayer

Well he's down to 5 lbs 14 oz. If he's not up tomorrow we'll be referred to a neonatologist and probably admitted to the hospital for a feeding tube.

I'm really struggling. Every time we go in, I'm so confident that he's gained weight and then the scale shows he's down. I spend a day crying and then the next day I'm sure what we're doing is going to work and I go in for the next weigh in so confident again. So today I've pretty much got myself worked up for the worst -- that way any news is better than that, right??

Wait. I just spelled your name wrong. What kind of besty am I?? I was in such a rush to offer my condolences I couldn't type. :)

Oh no! I really hope things go better and that he learns that eating is a good thing! Do they have any idea why he won't eat? I hope it gets figured out quickly. Praying for you.

"We'll say a little prayer for you"... I wish there were music notes on the keyboard. We really will though and hopefully everything will work out. I'm sorry Maddy. He's such a cutie that he just needs to get better! :)

I hope things turn around quick for the benefit of everyone! Sorry for the hard times right off the bat, especially when your hormones are still shifting back and probably very surfacEY. Keep your head up girl, he will be ok.

Oh, I'm sorry, Maddy. :(
Ryan was a crappy eater, too. He was a lazy nurser and my milk never came in right. It's the most helpless, frustrating feeling as a mom, so I can somewhat feel your pain right now.

{{{Big hugs}}} girly!
