Explain a 15-minute bolus, Kat?
And I heartily concur with Barb -- you'll get all this stuff down. But you're smart to wait a bit and make sure you're doing it at the right time.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Up until now, Grace has gotten 150 mL of formula dumped into her tummy over 3 hours, with an hour off. So she's been hooked to a pump to regulate that. We're working towards 150 mL over two hours now. And then we'll work on 150mL over an hour.
The goal is to gradually increase her stomach capacity so that she can be fed 150 mLs or whatever in 15 minutes rather than slowly over the course of hours because it will be another machine that she can spend more time disconnected from.

There's a lot of pressure to go home now, from all quarters. If I had a buck for everytime I've answered, "Is she coming home soon?" I could pay for one day of her care.
But we need her to be as stable as possible and as least intensive as possible and we want to make sure that we know we can handle the care. Plus we need time to get the system rolling for special ed services, in home nursing, respite care and everything else that has to come in place. If we wait to bring her home after she is 3, then the social worker will have to help us with the school stuff we'll need.
Also, I'd rather bring her home when we are off for summer and when there are fewer infections running around.

“Not dead yet!”
Poor Johnny-boo-- all exhausted
because I'd also be F-ing the ever-livin' life out of him, but I'd C Gareth (Sorry honey!) and M David.

Barb, if there's anything left of him after I'm done, you're welcome to it. I'll try to keep him hydrated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I'd have to C David, and that hurts. F John, whatever it took, and M Gareth. That's definitely a tough one.
Those are big steps and good plans, Kat.

That's the important thing anyhow...

What is wrong with you people? Did you know that GDL has a blues band? That he reads from gay sex manuals at music festivals? That he calls you "lovely" when you get his autograph?
(That last one might just be me.)

Our wings are not tired.
I have a question for the hivemind.
I need to cull some books, both to make room and to get a little extra cash. Now that college is officially over, and any further schooling will likely not be English literature related, I can sell some of the English lit books. Some were horrendously expensive and I know I'll never read them again, so it's easy to throw them in the "sell" pile.
But what I really want to know: have any of you ever sold or gave a book away that you came to regret? What guidelines do you use for selling your books? (And I need to do the same thing with my cds and dvds...)
