Day +83: Hangover Monday

Another day in for me and Sean, and it seemed Sean definitely needed it.

Sean seemed a bit out of sorts today; much more clingy, and definitely a lot less interested in eating. It took forever to feed him any of his meals, and all of his boluses of milk took ages as well, as his NG tube felt like it was blocking up. It was awfully frustrating to see Sean struggle against his food. After sitting for hours on end, trying to coax a relatively small amount of food into Sean, Bad Mummy here was in no mood to comfort and cuddle him during non-feeding times.

As if he was trying to tell me something, Sean slept for 3 hours during his "nap" today. I didn't mind him sleeping for 3 hours, but it was a bit unusual for him to be down for that long.

Since Sean didn't wake until well after 2pm, there was no point heading out to the shops. We stayed at home and in our pyjamas for the rest of the day. Wherever I went, so too did my little shadow.

I'm glad we have Clinic tomorrow. Dr Trahair is away on leave for the next 3 weeks, so we are booked in to see Dr Barbaric on Tuesdays until Dr Trahair returns. The small rash on Sean's bottom is getting bigger and redder, which makes changing his nappies challenging and upsetting for him. I'm definitely going to have to get Dr Barbaric to look at the rash tomorrow. Besides, with the NG tube as blocked as it has been, it might be time for a new tube. Poor baby. He really hates it when we replace the tape on his face - imagine what he's going to be like when we have to replace the tube as well.

Oh well. It has to be done, so Sean is going to have to be brave, and Mummy is going to have to be braver and have plenty of cuddles for Sean afterwards.
