A new feeding pump for Emma





First I want to say thank you to all our friends who prayed for Emma when she was sick. She is much better. Her rash is gone and she has not had to use oxygen since early Tue morning. She isnt quite as high on her oxygen saturations as she used to be prior to being sick, but she is well within range of where she needs to be before we have to turn oxygen on. I think in a few days she will be all the way back to normal.

Now on to some more news. We have been trying to get feeding bags for Emma's pump for a few days now. For those of you who have no experience that is the plastic bag that goes to her pump, that holds her milk. Well, they told me today the would no longer be making her bags or her pump! So we got a new one sent to us today, its like Christmas time! We have a new gadget to play with.

Its very nice and much smaller than our last one. Its about 4.5 x 5 x1.5 inches, about the size of a larger digital camera. I posted a pic above for you to see. I just have to play with it and get used to it but its much prettier than our old one. It was nice to see the guys that brought it down, they had been bringing Emma oxgyen when she was sick so we kind of got to know them. I know they were glad to see Emma well.

As for nursing, well our company has fired our good nurse who was on medical leave. They want to introduce us to a new nurse that can only work 2 not the 3 days a week we need on Monday. Well on Tue we see our pulmo doctor and I think I am going to beg him to drop our nursing care. We aren't able to get what we need anyway. We have had 4 nights in two months, life is easier with out it, Emma requires almost no night care what so ever, so it makes no sense to have some one here doing nothing. Plus when we move I plan on putting the girls into a room together and it would be easier if we had no nurse. Yes, we plan on finding a house and moving by April 1. I will be so happy!
