How frightening for you! Poor sweet baby. I feel kinda bad for laughing about the ceiling fan and your mouth. You would think by now a doctor would learn to trust a mother’s instinct.

I loved what you said: "a mothers instinct and the Internet make a powerful combination." When we just know, as a mother, that something is wrong, we must never give up. I'm so sorry you had to go through those 8 hours of not feeding your baby! Amazing story!

I can't imagine what that was like, but I'm so glad he pulled through. I would always go with a mother's intuition, too. We know our kiddos!! How very difficult for you and the baby.

I can also gauge a fever within a degree, just by kissing their forehead and back of their neck. With 12 years I know the doctors hate self-diagnosis as much as auto mechanics do, but Doctor Mom has been right almost every visit within the past few years. I should start charging copays for my diagnosing ability, I tell ya. Glad the surgery went well and I simply can't imagine not being able to feed your wailing baby for that long.
