We went through a couple of supposed "experienced nurses" before we found the three that work best with our family. <BR/>I truly believe in gut feelings...you have to trust them.<BR/>As for anyone thinking they know better than you two about what's best for Hallie...um...they're WRONG. You were the frightful parents who stood vigil bedside for months, who brought home a very fragile baby whom you had to keep safe from getting sick, who is growing strong and looking like the typical 1 year old, but continues to throw curve balls like aspirating, reflux, and a paralyzed vocal cord. Yeah, as parents, we pretty much know best for our kids. We try new things, watch what works...see what happens when we try something that doesn't work, etc. Our kids may be spoiled to an unknowing onlooker, but anyone who has ANY clue about former micro preemies should know that there are certain things they tolerate and certain things they just don't. I'm sure this is true with every child, but even more so with kiddos who have particular issues with their airway, respiratory disease, gastro issues, etc etc.<BR/>I am hoping this Nanny works out great, but as I mentioned before, you could try and call nursing agencies to see if any of the nurses take on cases hired out privately. When I finally left S&E alone while I went to work and Edwin was at the gym, I felt much better knowing the person who was caring for them was a nurse who had cared for micro preemies before. Of course my two are still on oxygen so it makes it that much more important to have RNs here for us, but even still, it may be an option. I hope this Nanny works out though and you can focus on teaching without having to search high and low for a person, who in all reality, will never measure up to you and Sharon as the best caretaker for Hallie. You two are just too good at it!23wktwinsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938265379492098537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681632491042947805.post-73008087228274012382007-08-31T09:48:00.000-04:002007-08-31T09:48:00.000-04:00GREAT about the Nanny. Hope this one works out. ...GREAT about the Nanny. Hope this one works out. I swear some people are so clueless about preemies, and I guess I was one of those people before having Lincoln - obviously. But you would think after all of this time that we spend with our little ones, finding the perfect way to feed them, get them to sleep, bathe them, etc. etc., others would believe that you knew best. I still have people say, "Not eating? Really? You should try this..." "A different nipple? Really...You don't say. Well golly jee, I hadn't thought of that yet." It is amazing, however, the lengths we go for our babies. And I guess to an outsider, or to a parent of a FT, we seem nuts, overprotective, like "spoilers," crazy, "NEW" parents (I've heard that one before). Still, we should be given credit where credit is due that we know our babies best, regardless of our daily practices. I hope this Nanny appreciates and respects that about you and Sharon. You deserve AT LEAST that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
