Thank you ladies. We are fortunate to have very good support – so many people have brought food that we don’t have room in our refrigerator. And I have lots of help with the children. I am trying to balance spending time with them and being at the hospital, as my husband is sad when I leave. My in-laws are here so we are taking shifts.
I had been having significant difficulties breastfeeding this time around (which has never happened before) so Niko is drinking a lot of formula – it turns out to be a blessing because it’s easy for others to watch him. I nurse when I am around and he gets formula the rest of the time.
My husband’s condition seems to be improving a tiny bit – he is able to move his eyes to the left now (he couldn’t yesterday morning) and his speech is less slurred. I’ve heard many optimistic stories about young people who have suffered strokes and fully recovered so I am feeling positive. We just have to take it day by day.
