Night Feedings
Last night I increased how much formula I received per hour
by just 5 ml. During the night I felt
like having a snack, so I fixed myself a half of a peanut butter sandwich and
ate that while the feeding was still running. When I got up this morning I felt
very good. Last night I also tested the battery function of the pump and it
works just like it should. It came with a backpack so I can travel and still
have my feedings where ever I go. This
is nice to know, even though at the moment I am not planning to go anywhere
I am also eating small meals throughout the day. When my
nurse called this afternoon and heard all of this she was very happy. We are
getting my digestive system working the way it should. Great news!! None of us
have to worry about me starving to death! I must admit I was beginning to think
about that possibility. Not a pleasant thought at all.
My best friend came over for a couple of hours today. It was
great to see her but I was saddened to hear of her problems. There is no way that I know of that I can
help her. But I do hope that giving her someone to talk too helped a little. I
know in my life it has done me good just to talk, when I knew the other person
could not solve my problem. It is that type of good that I hope I was able to
give to her today.
Although it saddened me to hear
about her problem it actually helped me a little because for a while it got my
mind off of my own problems. I think
that it is good for me to continue to think of others. I am very glad she is
willing to talk to me like that. When she first learned of my illness she would
not do it. She didn’t want to burden me. While that is a very kind thought, I
do need to think of things and people other than myself or I will go crazier
than I already am. (Okay, brothers of mine, no wise cracks!)
Love to all
