Okay I don't want any judgment please.. My 5 month old just had a trach put in so he can breathe. We are working on getting him back to eating again. He got it put in on the 28th and I have been here for 9-10 days with him. Unless they're checking on him from his stats, or doing vitals (or any of the million other drs that come in) he's just in here with me and I am not getting good sleep as they are in here every few hours all night, plus I pump and sometimes I have to get him back to sleep. I would like to go home soon just in the evening and then come back late noon the next day so I can catch up on sleep. But I feel terrible leaving him. But we don't know how long he will be here either. Weeks at the soonest.. But what if he's crying and nobody is in here. Or they wake him up and leave and he's crying.. What would you guys do? I don't know how I feel about leaving just to get good sleep for just one night with him here not knowing if he's sleeping or crying.. But I feel like eventually for my sanity I need a break and some sleep. I just feel selfish and guilty..

@parkersmommy041617 were at children's mercy so he was moved from the picu to just a regular floor. There is a pull out bed but they're constantly in here doing vitals etc all night. Plus since we are going to be here for a while I've tried to get back to his sleeping schedule as close as I can anyway. He sleeps all night usually but he gets woke up here. They have other patients so they can't be in here but just to check on him. They did say they aren't in here much cause I'm here so if I was gone they would come in to calm him. I'm also waiting to hear if they have found a volunteer to stay with him

I would stay and hope that the situation doesn't carry on for much longer 💘 Try and tell yourself this can't last forever, do what you have to now. Ultimately it is your decision 💗💗

Thank you guys! I think I'm going to try to go home tomorrow evening and come back up Sunday evening. Someone had the idea that maybe social worker can find a volunteer to stay with him so fingers crossed. I would like to go home once a week to recharge but can't shake the feeling of guilt.

If you feel guilty, would you be able to have someone close to you watch him for one night ? I'm not in your position so obviously I can't say much besides that he needs you right now and God forbid if you get sick from not sleeping and being tired you're gonna be forced to really leave him, he needs a healthy well rested mom so I say take a lil break, good luck and I hope your lil one gets a speedy recovery 🙏🏻

I'm so sorry, I can't imagine how hard this must be, but you definitely shouldn't feel selfish. To better take care of your baby you also have to take care of yourself. I've never been in a situation like this so I don't really have a solution, but I do know you deserve rest without any guilt or shame.
