So happy for your family and just wanted to reiterate some of the PP, I would have very similar emotions, you are doing an amazing job! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-badger-has-a-new-liver/page/10#post-1318979 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 08:04:52 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1318979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: he looks so great! Glad everything is going well. I know what you mean about feeling upset and then guilty for being so "fortunate" at the same time. I hope all continues upward for you guys, and that the next time he's in the hospital is when his wife is having a baby (that's what I hope for my DS when he's home again!) :) happy new year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-badger-has-a-new-liver/page/10#post-1318927 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 06:49:50 +0000 Cherrybee 1318927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a handsome boy!!

He looks like such a happy, healthy little guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-badger-has-a-new-liver/page/9#post-1317734 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 14:12:36 +0000 Ms.Badger 1317734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are officially 1 month post transplant and life is great. He is laughing and smiling all the time. When he is dressed, no one would ever guess just how grueling last month was for him. He had a great Christmas at home with lots of presents and skyping sessions with family. </p> <p>We saw our doctors yesterday and he's doing so well that they've decreased his doctor visits to every other week. They are still tweaking his meds a bit and his weight has been decreasing, but no signs of rejection or infection!!!</p> <p>His sleep is finally getting back to normal - the hospital stay did a number on his sleep, plus all the meds weren't helping. He's starting to get into solids and he's eating 2 "meals" of pureed foods on normal days. He's starting to push to all fours and LOVES standing so much that I don't think it's long until he's pulling himself up.</p> <p>I'm loving having a healthy baby again, with all the energy and excitement with every new day and milestone. I HATE giving him medicine because he screams and fights everytime, but I fight through for him (and I make my husband do it sometimes to give myself a break). I had been looking for jobs before he got sick but now I'm coming to terms with staying home a while longer. I do miss the intellectual stimulation and am open to part time work if I can find a good part time nanny and the right position for myself. Sometimes I find myself feeling sorry for myself, missing having a "normal" baby, and at the same time feel so lucky that everything went so well and that Little Badger is still here and doing SO well when there are so many other parents with very sick babies and babies that didn't make it and then I feel guilty for not being grateful every second. That dichotomy is something I still fail to wrap my mind around completely.</p> <p>So to end on a happy note - pictures! </p> [attach=4155/14/myuap2.450x600.IMG_2717.JPG] [attach=4155/14/myuap5.600x450.IMG_2792.JPG]
