The story of Tucker Ray, a 27-weeker with many diagnoses, and his baby brother, Easton John, a 34 weeker aka big brother's shadow. Here I post about the challenges and joys of working full time, caring for two rambunctious boys with my husband, and leaning on God for wisdom in the midst of the chaos.

The Morning
I have butterflies in my stomach. Tucker is going to have his surgery today. We are almost ready to leave to go visit him. Our entire families are coming, so the waiting room will be packed. My sister Meagan (Tucker's godmother) came with me last night to see Tucker. She has to work today, so she can't come. Tucker was wide awake and so cute for his nanny! He made his frog/squeak noises around his ET tube, and he *smiled* a few times. She held him-he is so loved :)
My husband has been sick with congestion and sinus pressure, so I had to take him to the afterhours clinic last night. He got a steroid shot and a Z-pack of antibiotics. Just like Tucker! Tucker has been on decadron three times, and he has been on the Z-pack for over a month. My husband had the most upset stomach last night, and he had eaten with the medicine. He also had cold sweats all night. What if Tucker feels like this? He is generally a grumpy baby, so we are happy when we catch him in a good mood. Maybe that is why-his medicine makes him miserable. Let's see how today goes.
