Two steps forward one step back

   Today was a hard day. Cole didn't not eat good at all. The 8:30am feeding he at 10 mil. At the 2:30pm feeding he at 30 mil. He was so sleepy. He just wouldn't wake up. I went home around 4pm feeling very down. The highlight of my day that kept me going was at lunch right before I left I met Nola and her son John. They weremthere for an appointment. John was in a terrible motorcycle 3 years ago. John is in a wheelchair, but was very quick to show me that he can stand.  He has been working very hard to get to where is today. At the time of the accident he was in a coma for 3 months. He is a true miracle.  What a neat person. He was so great to talk to. I personally know how hard it is to learn how to walk and talk because of Mark and all that he has gone through. John was such a tease and had such a great attitude about things. His Mom was amazing too. You could see that she was very selfless and would do anything for her son. I truly was blessed by meeting these two. It really help left my spirits.

     At night I went to the hospital alone because Mark was running kids around. I was discouraged because I had trying for 45 minutes to feed him and he was so sleepy.  I was starting to think that something was wrong. When I told my nurse of my concerns she told me that she forgot to ell me that he was feed a bottle at 5:30pm.  That made me feel a lot better. He was just tired from that feeding. She asked me if I'd be okay if she fed him a bottle at the night cares if he woke up. I said that would be fine. So we'll see if he wakes up for them.
