I called an ambulance because I was by myself and it was 5:30 in the morning. I don't like going with Blake by myself to Louisville. I have to be on the interstate 90% of the time. There's no where when you're going over a doube decker bridge at 70 mph to pull over and put nasal cannulas back in your squirmy infants nose. I would have hit rush hour right past the bridge, too. So his bnp was 492 (a normal number is between 5 to 100) last week when Blake was admitted and having cold sweats his bnp was 2052 it when down to 1450 then back up to 1650s then by dischage it was 1090. So that's good that's going down now they think that his cold sweats his solo related to his feeds. They changed his schedule when we when home now where working on a different one, because obviously that one wasn't working well either. They believe he's not getting enough blood to his gut so he's not digesting well. He's still retching like crazy, too.
Thank you all for your supportive committs. My last blog I kinda was a tad emotional, I know I sounded selfish I don't feel selfish really I just feel overwhelmed and confused. But it's nice to unload to everyone here I don't feel judged. Well my dad's here to give me a break. I know that sounds nice and it is. I just always feel so rushed on these "breaks" my parents want me back in three hours yet they urge me to get home and take a nap. By the time I go home get something to eat take a quick shower well I don't feel like lying down for 40 min or so. I know I'm picky and selfish I should be glad for the breaks I'm just so rushed in feels like a job to take a break :) Well if I get a chance after my break I'll attempt to read everyone's else's blog.

I don't know where you find the strength. God bless you and baby Blake
Thinking of you and sending ((hugs)).
Whitney,hang in there girl. You are doing a fantastic job! I know what you mean about taking a break. It's easy for everyone to say. When Caleb was that little, he took up so much of my time,that when he slept I felt like I had to keep going to do all the things I couldn't normally do. I was exhausted mentally and physically. Please do try and take at least a mental break here and there. It is so important, and helps keep your sanity. I think of you guys often and pray for you and Blake. He is a strong little guy. I bet he is getting so big. I can't wait to see some updated pictures....
Big hugs from the Flaharty's
Oh, Whitney, my prayers are with you and and your family. I wish I were there to give you more than a few hours' break. Is there a chapel in the hospital where you can relax your mind a bit? Or a parents lounge with a sofa? Every little bit of rest helps.
God bless you and your family.

I am so sorry that you are back at the hospital. I hope that he gets well enough to go back home for a short while before you are off to MI.
My prayers are with you!

Your strength amazes me. I'm still thinking of you and hoping you are getting some rest. Hang in there.
Whitney, keep hanging in there. I am thinking of you and sending you and baby Blake lots of strength and love. Take care.
