waiting waiting

I guess I should clarify last night's post. I was hurting, I was tired, my Colton wanted me home, Cody was exhausted, and we didn't have our new baby, let alone know what was going on.

I've called there three times this morning and all I get is rushed answers to get off of the phone.

I did call and ask how he was doing, and was told "did good" for all of his feedings last night after we saw him. When I asked what kind of details- as in did he eat the whole bottle, did he like the preemie nipples, have the doctors done their rounds? I got told "doctors are busy in the other unit and we don't know when they'll be here. I'm not certain what nipples he used." Click.

We aren't happy campers. We're waiting for my sister to get here to sit with Colton while Cody and I go into the NICU to ask questions in person.

As for me, I'm feeling better, I had one staple that was OH so painful. My doctor said to remove it, so when the nurse came to do that she said it was past the incision and I had a bruise, so she removed those two and then one on the other end that was loose and not even really in either. No wonder I couldn't walk.

Cody helped me adjust the binder thingy lower on my hips and I can sit without cringing now, because that was just about a centimeter lower than my incision, so it was pressing on it. Walking still hurts, but its not crippling like it was last night since those three staples are gone.

We're not having a very fun hospital experience, but we're grateful that Tyler's only issue is being lazy. As soon as he perks up, we'll be outta here and I can do it MY way. I am going to be released tomorrow AM.

Until then, we're just...waiting... and trying to explain to Colton why he can't see Tyler.
