Or Tuesday??

Well, we thought we were going home today, but starting Saturday, Noah's nurse complained he had too many diarrhea stools. So, the doctor there put him on pedialyte for 24 hours and then rotated every 3rd feeding with formula. He was really cranky and gassy and just not happy and has been off an on ever since birth. So, today they changed his formula and wanted to keep him there to keep an eye on his stools and to make sure he was going to tolerate the new formula better. Since changing formula, he has only had 1 poopy diaper and it was NOT diarrhea...finally, and he hasn't been cranky all day other than when it's time for him to eat again so his night nurse is about 95% sure that he'll be going home tomorrow. We have our monitor and CPR training at 12:30 tomorrow and more than likely will be discharged after that. Leon is back home now too and loving every minute of it! He actually asked on the way home where Noah was. I told him that he couldn't come today but maybe tomorrow they would let him. He said that he really wanted to see him. I know he does because that's all he's talked about since he hasn't been able to go in the NICU because of flu/rsv season. It's really upsetting to me that he hasn't been able to see him. I think he's really going to be such a good big brother and can't wait to see how he interacts with him. Noah is such a sweet little baby and Leon is such a sweet little boy. I have the fact that he can't see him and hasn't been able to. It just breaks my heart when he asks about him. It's been so hard on me being away from Leon so much, but then Noah also needs me. It's even harder when he asks to see him, and I have to tell him no because he's not allowed to. He doesn't understand and no matter how I put it, he doesn't quite get it completely. I think he has finally got the idea that Noah is here, even though he hasn't been able to interact with him at all. He asks everyday what I'm doing when I talk to him and I tell him, sitting with Noah, taking care of Noah, holding Noah, etc. I think that part has finally sunk in, he just can't see him or touch him and the fact that he wants to and can't...just kills me. I can't wait for him to finally be home and everyone can actually see him and Leon can see him and finally get to hold him...with LOTS of help of course!
