Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I am really frustrated right now. The nurse from yesterday gave me hope and got me excited and made me think my family would finally be together tonight but that is not happening :( despite the fact that she has taken 9 full bottles during the last 9 feeds. She won't be able to come home tonight
The nurse yesterday said if she takes 8 feeds and passes her carseat test she will be cleared to go home. Well I met with the nurse practitioner and the doctor today and they advised that wont be happening.
They informed me that after she finishes all 8 bottles they watch her for the next 24-48 hours to make sure she keeps up with her feeds. They do it to make sure she doesnt ware herself out and stop feeding, I understand it and I get it. They want to prevent a readmission. What makes me mad and upset me is the nurse from yesterday said nothing of this sort and made it seem like as long as she did those things today she would come home tonight.
I am not leaving her until she does. She has taken every single full bottle since I've been here, there has been no tube feeding at all.
Keep your fingers crossed she comes home by friday. I'll keep everyone updated. Thanks for all the love and support.
