As a...My thoughts and prayers are with your family. As a special needs parent, I have been through a very similar situation with my daughter when she was younger. Also, as a nurse, may I say you have handled this situation remarkably well! Good for you, you have done all of the right things for Jude. You were right to insist on the antibiotic when you did. Your knowledge is impressive. We learn so much when we are in the position we are in. I, like you, wish our children did not have to suffer for us to learn these things. However, our children, both directly and indirectly,help and inspire people every day. Also, do not be afraid of the NG tube situation, I have no doubt you and Mike will master this in no time. It is also very easily managed by nurses,as we often deal with these in the hospital setting.If any problems do arise, obviously,you will be on top of it. I wish you could have more time off from work during this time. I have also worked the night shift during my child's crisis situations,while my husband was with my daughter. It is so hard on very little sleep. I read the blogs of other special needs moms and our strength amazes me! We are truly blessed to be the people we have become. What fighters we are.<br />Stay strong.<br /> God BlessKimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581317431133132518.post-17785806808993849722010-09-07T01:15:38.468-05:002010-09-07T01:15:38.468-05:00Just catching up on your blog after a few days awa...Just catching up on your blog after a few days away. WOW, you and yours went through a lot! Jude is a tough little cookie and so are you. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Scary stuff, my heart aches sometimes when I read your blog about your baby boy Jude but at the same time I always come away feeling gratitude in my own life, even with the not so good days. Thanks for a true dose of reality. Big hugs to get better fast for Jude!Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581317431133132518.post-38399766050891371792010-09-06T20:59:52.751-05:002010-09-06T20:59:52.751-05:00Our kids teach us some tough lessons.

The surgery was a piece of cake compared to the others and now I could never live without her tube. I wish all my kiddos had one (ok, not really) They are just great to have, easier and give you ppiece of mind. You can do this as well with the NG, but when she gets a fever I just slowly run some chilled cans of Pedisure to slowly cool her body. Good Luck and hang in there.Kaidence's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390902237713190021noreply@blogger.com
