Worst week ever.

[michellemcd]

After spending thw whole night trying to console a wheezing, terrified Mike - in between feeding a crying baby- we've ended up in the ER due to a severe asthma attack. Mike is not responding to treatments so they are sending us via ambulance to the pediatric ICU at another hospital. Please keep him in your thoughts. Oh and to add insult to injury,

Oh no! i'm so sorry to hear he's having such a rough week. He and your whole family are in my thoughts! I hope they can get him feeling better in no time.

As for the milk... stress can be so tough on supply. Try not to add the stress of supply worries to your already full plate. Drink lots of water, rest when you can, oatmeal, fenugreek, etc. And pump as much as you can. Can someone bake you up a nice batch of lactation cookies? I'd do it in a heartbeat, but i'm having issues finding brewers yeast here, so i haven't been able to make them.

Big big hugs!!!

Oh Michelle, I'm so sorry! I hope Mike is ok and they can get his asthma under control quickly. I can't imagine how scary this must be for you. He is in my thoughts! As for your milk supply, bring your pump and just pump as much as possible while you are away from Noelle. Stay well-hydrated and don't forget to eat! Your milk supply should pick back up when you are nursing more regularly but in the meantime, pumping as much as possible (at least at times when she would otherwise be nursing) should prevent it from decreasing any more. Good luck! Thinking of you!

Oh my gosh, how awful. I had childhood asthma and can remember how terrifying it was. Was the attack due to seasonal allergies? I will be praying for him.

Oh Michelle I am so sorry. We have been there, and it is so scary! Max's asthma has given me a whole head of gray hair. He will be ok. Please keep us updated!!
