They're who raised me, so it sucks. I see how much older my parents are... Mortality. But yeah, he goes in for surgery on the 18th. Fingers crossed...

It's tough to see your parent-figures grow infirm and die. I hope your grandpa recovers or at least doesn't suffer too much.

Dogs stomach filled up with fluid yesterday. Taking her in for X-rays tomorrow. She’s 13 years old with a heart murmur. I’m not looking forward to what they’re going to say. My wife is going to be devastated if we have to put her down.

I'm sorry to hear that, big man. How will you handle the news, should it be as negative as you think it's going to be?

I'm already tearing up thinking about if we have to put her down. I'm NOT looking forward to it. It's just more shit added onto other shit that I'm going through right now. Normally I'm a pretty chill, level headed guy but the stress from everything is trying to wear on me. Wife on short term disability....youngest daughter has a serious concussion.....oldest dog now going through this and our ****ing TV just broke to top it all off. And that doesn't factor in with the fact that the busiest time of the year for my job is right around the corner and everything is ramping up. I'm just ****ing pulled thin everywhere right now.

My wife and I just had our second child on 3/29 at 29 weeks. We live 1.5 hours away and went to the hospital to see a perinatologist who promptly told us it was time to deliver. Our little one is doing well all things considered, 2lbs 12 oz at birth, currently on CPAP, getting all his nutrition through umbilical lines, in an isolette. Conservatively we are looking at 50 days in the NICU
I am now coordinating taking care of our 4 year old at home, and taking care of my wife who just had a c-section and can't drive, and our little one who is 90 miles from our home. Not fun, but family has been supportive and we are doing well all things considered |

Try not to worry about your kid having all kind of tubes, wires in them. It's a good thing. If they are gaining weight, the kid is going to be okay. There is a customer relations person in the hospital. If they cant get you into the McDonalds house, they will know of several charities, churches and or private citizens that open their homes for people to stay with them while your kid grows. Asl a nurse about this if they havent already contacted you. Keeping a positive mindset is crucial to yourself and the wife surviving this mentally. Just something you have to deal with to enjoy the kid the rest of your lives. Every kid I've seen born at 29 weeks has turned into a perfectly normal kid. They would come back to visit us, it was a fantastic part of the job.
