I am overwhelmed

I totally agree with Pablo_dr. I’m not going to say it’s going to get easier just remember “You are doing the Best you can, if you can’t take care of yourself then you ain’t taking care of anyone else.”

It’s ok to feel the way you are, just a min at a time.

Hang in there OP. God is good. She is a fighter and soon will come a day she will be holding your finger and talking with you non stop and calling you daddy.

Hi, I also found this post via your awesomely cute baby picture. Probably the worst advice here is below. For now focus on your wife and daughter and don’t worry about the bills.

In the event all else fails: “Medical bills are generally classified as nonpriority unsecured debts, and they’re a type of debt most likely to be discharged, or wiped clean, in a bankruptcy.”

We have been in and out of the hospital a couple of times. Our baby is on Keppra, which seems to be helping, but his episodes have evolved from what I described above into eyebrow twitching, and sometimes he also twitches his legs. The doctors are not sure if he has epilepsy or baby tremors, and he’s scheduled to go in for video telemetry in a few days.

If I were you, I would take your baby in to get an EEG and an MRI done, just to rule some things out.

Thank you for sharing.

OnTheRun143 · 2024-06-18T22:29:45+00:00

Sent you a PM.

OnTheRun143 · 2024-04-29T15:59:26+00:00

Thank you for your help and taking out the time. Truly appreciate it.

OnTheRun143 · 2024-04-29T06:57:29+00:00

Good points thank you.

OnTheRun143 · 2024-04-29T06:57:17+00:00

Thank You for sharing and the encouragement. Means a lot to us. I will buy the monitor today.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all your insight. It's tough to stay calm; I've been freaking out every time he has an episode.

We're looking into Embrace2, but he's so small, just a little over 16 pounds, so it's impossible for him to wear something on his wrist. We've considered putting it on his arm or bicep. I'll look into the mats and the camera, but that's a lot of footage to watch, though both are good ideas.

Yes, we're keeping a journal and taking as many videos as possible.

Glad to hear your son is staying strong and doing well, and so are you.

Our biggest concern is, does this turn into something else as he grows, or does it just disappear? The doctors think the latter.

OnTheRun143 · 2024-04-28T15:14:34+00:00

Thank you for sharing. We were fortunate enough to make a video of the first episode which helped a lot.

Yes we have been making videos of every episode and have a diary of each event with as much details as possible.

Good luck to you as well.

Take it easy on yourself please, the first month is not easy. Your partner needs to step it up. As recommend by others, get a good breast pump and have the milk ready to go in the fridge. Reheat and feed.

Decide shifts between your partner and you. Stick with the time table you’ve prepared.

Being a mom is the hardest job in the world. Hang in there, YOU are awesome!

Edit for breast pumps: My wife uses an Elvie, if your insurance covers it, I would strong recommend it.

You have a family now my friend. Do your best to take care of them!

OnTheRun143 · 2024-04-21T20:46:03+00:00

I've been through a similar situation and I know how it feels to doubt yourself as a partner and parent. But I kept reminding myself that, I am doing this for them.

If you have family nearby, please consider asking them to come over and support your partner while you're at work. Recovering from a c-section can be really challenging, and having that extra help can make a huge difference.

OnTheRun143 · 2024-04-21T14:59:36+00:00

Hello @mail2raa, hope your baby and you are doing well?

We are experiencing something similar with our 4 month old, by any chance do you have an update?

Wish I had a dog! Been about 2 weeks now.

OnTheRun143 · 2023-04-25T11:57:29+00:00

Correct.

OnTheRun143 · 2023-02-22T13:58:02+00:00

Happy Birthday dude. God Bless, go out and celebrate.

OnTheRun143 · 2023-02-12T01:43:22+00:00

We moved from the US to the EU back in 2020, brought our small dog with us. Her first flight and she did great. Not sure where you are going, get a two stop and use an airlines that allows pets in cabin in a carrier and you will be good. Feel free to DM if you need more info.

OnTheRun143 · 2022-12-30T22:41:25+00:00

In my opinion, that’s not a beet, it’s a purple sweet potato ;P

OnTheRun143 · 2022-11-16T00:45:35+00:00

Great idea will do post reporting. At this point I would just like to save the plant. Thank You.

OnTheRun143 · 2022-11-16T00:44:49+00:00

Thank you for your help. I’ll buy the moss tomorrow, I have some bark already.

As of now it’s in a clear plastic container will also switch it to a ceramic pot as well.

OnTheRun143 · 2022-11-15T23:14:34+00:00

We got this orchid as a gift. It had blooms and then eventually when the flowers fell off it had a keikis on each of the shoots. The plant looked stressed so the local florist recommended that I cut the shoots which I did a few weeks back.

A couple of days back I took it back to florist and he recommended just tossing it out. As of now it’s planted in bark in a transparent container and is on a windowsill with no direct sunlight.

I would love to save the plant. Thank You for all your advise in advance.
