I can't believe I haven't updated the blog in so long. I just didn't have the energy.
Michael hasn't been feeling so great, he didn't eat good all week and he has been coughing. On Thursday we took him to the pulmonologist and he said that his longs are clear. However he will have to stay on O2 for at least one more month. He is not ready yet to come off.
Natalia (she is in the pics with Michael) went with me, she has been an amazing help!!!So the last few days we also have introduced Michael to some formula. He still gets breast milk but I don't have that much anymore. He seems to be doing pretty good with the Similac. Just before we went into the pulmonologist we gave him some Enfamil formula and this did not sit well with Michael. When the nurse examined him, he started coughing like crazy, almost as if he was chocking. The poor kid exploded in vomit. It came all out at the same time, at least 3 ounces!!! I was soaking wet, Michael was soaking wet and the entire examine room was covered in spit up. They had to get several big towels to clean it up. Michael was crying and he had real tears in his eyes, my poor baby. He is not getting Enfamil anymore....
Lynn was here and she was such a great help. She gave us a kit for the hearing aids with several things in there, mostly tools to clean the hearing aids with. Also a little plush bear with hearing aids, so cute!!

So sorry to hear of your day. Hang in there. Sometimes it just takes a while to find out what works best for him as far as formula goes, been there! He has the most gorgeous eyes so big and full of wonder. Tracy
Hi, Hope Michael is feeling better soon. And no, Jordan is still in an isolette even though he is at the weight to go into the open crib. He has a picky Dr. that way. She won't let him out until he takes all feeds by bottle.
HI!
I look forward to going back into the archives and reading your and Michael's story. He's absolutely beautiful! My goodness.
Have you ever seen or heard about the Hannah Anderson pilot cap for keeping on hearing aids? It works really well!
Here's a shot of Ethan with his back when he wore aids full time:

Feel free to hit me up with questions you may have about resources, I've put a lot of time into reading about hearing loss and finding support groups online and might be able to point you in some directions.
