The Amazing Twin Adventure

WARNING: Discussion of poop to follow- not for the weak of stomach!!!!!!!!
So Hays has been having a tough time with the transition to formula. He hadn't pooped all day and his tummy was really hurting. He's been very fussy all day, lots of crying, squirming and farting. His pediatrician said it's just his body making the transition, and we just have to wait it out. But that got harder as the day wore on and he got fussier and fussier. Finally, this evening I called the NICU nurses at St. Mary's to get their advice. They told me to give him a glycerin suppository. Matt had to go to CVS and here's what he bought: glycerin suppositories, Astroglide, batteries, and breastmilk storage bags. Can you imagine what the clerk must have been thinking! Then I got to do the fun job of greasing up the suppository with astroglide and sticking it where the sun don't shine. Poor Hays, his eyes got huge! Luckily it worked, and within five minutes he blew out a diaper so bad I had to change his clothes. He has been far more comfortable and content since, so let's hope that puts an end to the formula trials and tribulations.
Will also had a poop issue today- namely that he turned blue while making a big one and had to be bagged. So that was fun and exciting. Other than that, he had a decent day. I'm going up tomorrow to work with the trach nurse. I have to do his trach change (yikes!) so think good thoughts for me.
