Eileen, Jodi R., again! :o)

December 18, 2003

Hi Eileen. It's me again. Are you tired of me yet? Hee, hee.

Anywy, I just read your posts, and wanted to tell you that

also started out with the tube in his nose. Yes, I have to agree

with you, it was awful. I had to be able to put his tube in, too,

and I hated doing it. It would always seem to get stuck at a certain

point and I would have to pull it out, and try to redo it, with

steady hands mind you! Yeah, right. I knew that he needed it, but I

didn't want to have to be the one putting it in! You know!?

Also, I'll play taddle tail. I didn't say that Imogen was super

tiny. That was someone else. Heck, I didn't even realize her weight

until you just said that in the last post! Okay, I am not all that

observant. ) So, as long as she is doing well, I think that is

great. I would LOVE for to reach that point. I want him off

this tube as soon as possible.

I am glad that you responded to my posts. It is great to hear such a

positive perspective. It makes me think that maybe we will make it

through this. ) I know we will, but do you ever get bogged down

by it all? For me, I get to the point where I literally feel

smotthered. Like, I can't breathe. It is weird, and I guess they

call it some kind of anxiety. I forget what the name of it is. I

get over it though and I am fine. No one really realizes that I have

it because I deal with it privately. I don't like to complain too

much. Okay, maybe a little. Hee, hee.

Take care and I hope to hear from you soon,

Jodi R.
