I feel so sorry for my little baby! His dang alarm goes off so much the poor guy can't get any sleep! Just when he falls asleep I have to wake him to try to stimulate him because his dang alarm is going off! And beleive me, he is definatley confused as to when the heck he is suppose to sleep now. And because he doesn't know when to sleep or how long to sleep he also has trouble eating. He'll wake up because he is hungry eat for a bout 5 minutes fall completely asleep..spit up half of what he ate and 30 minutes later..decide he is really hungry again..eat for maybe 10 minutes...stay wide awake because he needs to like throw up (hes been throwing up lately..well I think it is throw up because it is projectile and chunky, maybe just bad reflex?) Then throws up...stays awake (content, but awake) till his next feeding..repeats the process..or he eats for 5 minutes sleeps for an hour eats for 5 minutes sleeps for an hour and so on! And in the midst of all this he is having bradycardia! Anyway, it's only been 2 weeks and his monitor already is at 100% full...and usually they don't come out for a download until it has been 4-6 weeks! So I called them and they just came out and downloaded it and were in complete shock. The lady was like ummm I have never had one this bad. She didn't know what to think..she was calling everybody to make sure all the settings were right and to make sure that it wasn't a bunch of fake ones and they weren't as far as they could tell...so guess how many bradycardias he has had in 17 days?................OVER 400! She even had me hook everything up in front of her to make sure I was doing it right and I was! He also had a few tachycardia, and multiple apnea. Anyway, now it is just the waiting game..they have 3 people analyze it...a cardiologist, the head pediatrician of Dallas and his doctor. Oh and the lady that came to download it told me to call his doctor right away and make an apt....but she is already gone for the day...and speaking of doctors..I don't know if I like mine, she seems to layed back..but maybe that is just because I am used to the NICU doctors and nurses. Anyway, if anyone knows of any good pediatricians in the Mckinney-Allen area that take medicaid (parkland) let me know....I'm considering a change.
On a happy note I had a coupon to get pictures at Wal-Mart so we went the other night...and it was the best deal ever I got so many free pictures (it's all of one pose) but still totally worth it..so when I get them back I will post them. He did so good, he was wide awake and alert..not crying or anything (not like he really crys anyway). But he was freezing so he was shaking so bad, I felt bad for him!
So I just found out that where we are moving there is no internet service : ( thats going to be boring : ) but everytime I am at my moms I will post!
He's waving....
Cousins! How cute!
What a lucky grandpa!

He is so precious! Man, I hope his bradys go away soon and that those doctors have something wonderful for them. He sure is a cutie though!!!
Poor little guy! Those pictures with his cousins make him look so small! You're right, dad is a lucky grandpa!
Oh, poor Zach! I hope he gets over his brady soon - that's not a good feeling being woken up so many times to anybody, much less and infant. Poor guy! My sister has a doctor for her baby in McKinney that takes Medicaid, I'll have to find out the name of him. She seems to like him pretty well. I think he is over at the McKinney hospital. Hope ALL you guys get to start sleeping soon!
P.S. And congrats on the house!! That is very exciting!
I hadn't read this latest post when I saw you Friday at the dr. What a coincidence that Austin and Zach have the same dr. Do you like her so far? I hope she had good news about all the bradys. It was great to see him and you in person, though. He's a perfect little peanut! So tiny still. Take care and I hope the move went well.
hey beaker! i hope hes doing well! love ya b!
Oh my gosh. Poor Zach! And poor mom. How are you holding up? Well now that y'all are even farther away let me know when you are going to your mom's so I can come see you and give you the gift! Or I can wait till after May 8th when I dont have a job and can come out.
