back in hospital today...

AAARRRghhhhh...well that covers completely how I feel right now. Why o why did they discharge us yesterday when obviously her feeding was still poorly????Today it got even worse so I phoned the dietitian and the CLN myself to see what they thought. My feeling was that it would be better to get the tube in. Duunya and me have battled hard to avoid it but i really think it would be better to get it sorted now. she needs to be as strong as possible and she needs to reach the 5 kilo at least.She had it in before while she was admitted but never when she was home. I have to think about it if I want to learn to put it in myself or not.On 1 side it might be handy but I think I will be afraid to hurt her or do something wrong. I will just see how they do it and then decide if I am up to it. Better get organised right now, packing her bag and stuff!Hope she doesn't need to stay that long!

Learn to do it yourself!!! She is going to pull it our a lot and it is so much easier and a lot less worry to do it yourself. Really there is nothing to it and it is more uncomfortable than painful. She is not going to remember and will not need therapy because you put a tube in her when she was a baby.
