It Just Hit me

So sorry i didn't update the blog.. even though i have so much to tell!!

We had a issues two and a half weeks ago about her not gaining anything but 2 ounces in 2 weeks..
her doctor thought it was strange until i told her that i no longer breastfeed which by the way i am still devastated about!! I tried everything from certain foods, massages to herbs & Tee... i just had the hardest time pumping and eventually dried up..i am thankful she had some Breast milk for 3 month and i saved enough milk for when she is in the Picu. I just feel better knowing she is getting breast milk while recovering!!
So anyway her Doc. asked me how i am mixing her milk when right then i realized that i am probably not mixing the 30 cl. she suppose to get.. i am sure i was given a piece of paper when i left the hospital for the first time on how to mix formula with water.. but i never payed any attention to the letter and probably threw it away since i didn't plan to give her any!
Long story short i looked stupid and was given a new recipe in how to mix formula withwater... since that appointment she catched up at gained a whole pound!!
I have been leaving her tube out for most of the day.. but sometimes i will get paranoid and put it back in and at her cardiology appointment today Dr. Kavanaugh suggested to leave it out since she is doing so good and we go from there!!
Also her Echo looked great.. her Heart is pumping much better and after her Heart Cath on Monday we will determine exactly when the surgery is going to be.. i think the question if she qualifies has out ruled ... i hope!
Dr. Kavanaugh thinks that she will have surgery either the middle or the End of October ..
It just Hit me today that we will have to go threw all this again and it's killing me.. just picturing handing her over the OR team crushes me!!
Oh Lord get us threw her surgery in one piece !!
