Though once he was finished with the antibiotics it went away. He also had a hard time witht the extra calories. We took him off that and put in on a normal calorie of soy milk formula. He did much better. I don't know why, because now he drinks normal milk no problem. I hope you have lots of wonderful people who are helping you out, and don't feel guilty about taking help. People love the opportuntiy to serve. :)likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862482227481252146.post-48520800217955412092008-05-10T00:08:00.000-07:002008-05-10T00:08:00.000-07:00I realized I forgot to include my email so you cou...I realized I forgot to include my email so you could get in touch with me: pbandj318@yahoo.com<BR/>Thank you again.<BR/>Jessica BrimleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862482227481252146.post-83820572829420112102008-05-09T23:47:00.000-07:002008-05-09T23:47:00.000-07:00I'm so happy they didn't have to admit Bela on tue...I'm so happy they didn't have to admit Bela on tuesday.

Our son Isaac, 4 months, had the Hybrid Procedure instead of the Norwood after birht. Michelle said that Bela also had the Hybrid. He will be having his "Glenwood" (the Norwood and the Glenn) this coming wednesday. The surgeons at Primarys have never done the two surgeries at the same time before. Isaac will be the first. He had to have the Hybrid because his lungs were too sick at birth and they didn't think he would survive the Norwood. So they tried doing the Hybrid to buy him some time to get bigger and stronger before they did the Norwood. I thought it might be nice to talk to another family who also had the Hybrid before the Norwood. You are welcome to visit Isaacs carepage at www.carepages.com. His carepage name is isaacbrimley. I am working on making a blog but for now we are posted at carepages.

In my opinion things we went through at home were way harder than any of the hospital stays. There is always something with these little fighters. He had constant crying due to gallbladder malfunctions. Stick in there. Lack of sleep is emotionally and physically exhausting. These little ones do a lot of catch up after the Glenn.

It is always fun to see pictures, cute little peanut is definitely her. She has come this far because of very strong and faithful parents and a mom who deserves some kind of mother of the year award. You are doing a great job and your strength truly helps those of us who know you.
