Hospital Stay

We are finally home from the hospital. We arrived there at 5:30AM yesterday and at 7:30, Bryce had the probe placed into his nose, down his throat and into his esophagus and then he was monitored for 24 hours as he ate normally. The only problem is that he does not eat/drink enough normally and we realized he was bordering on dehydration. So all through the day I was trying to get him to drink/ eat more. Unfortunately with a tube down his throat he ate even less than he normally does and it didn't work so well. So throughout the night he had to be force fed with a syringe. He hated it! It was terrible! It kept him from getting an IV though and he was just above the dehydration level this morning so he was able to leave today. It's a really good thing since he has an appointment to get his SWASH at 4 PM and then we will be on the road to California! Wow, what a crazy time of life!

Waiting in the waiting room...for two hours!


Annalise slept the whole time we were waiting.
She woke up to eat just as they took Bryce back
to put in the probe.





Poor little guy even looks miserable while he is
sleeping!

I feel so bad for your little guy. He is such a cutie and you both are the best parents ever. I hope you had fun in California. I can hardly wait until you write a post about it.
