Update: Ryan turned 2 months this past Monday and it has been 2 weeks since Ryan was in the hospital and it will be 2 weeks this Monday since Ryan has had the monitor and started his new medicine pepsid. Anyway, he just had that one episode of apnea and low heartrate on 12/23, which the monitor detected nothing since. I think that the pepsid may be helping him alot more; I have noticed decreased gagging/ choking and the wierd noises he was making. I feel alot more comfortable sleeping at night with him hooked up to the monitor. I also use the monitor when I am not directly watching him like if I go in the othe room or something. I believe he will be able to keep the monitor for at least 4 months but we will see if it's longer. It is hard sometimes because I am the only one who can take care of him. My husband refuses to feed him and he will only hold him if I put him in his arms; he is too scared to deal with him alot because the whole episode when he stopped breathing happened and needed to be in the hospital, which happened after he picked him up. I will not be going back to work anytime soon; I can't feel comfortable with it. Some of my other plans are also on hold such as working out at the gym; I had planned to take Ryan to the baby watch and start working out when he was six weeks old but I can't do that now. Maybe I'll have to wait until spring and I can walk with him, or when the kids go back to school next week maybe I can walk him around the mall and that can be my exercise. I love Ryan with all my heart and I feel like I am being selfish when I say that I wish I had a little time for me once in awhile; I actually haven't even been out of the house since he was in the hospital 2 weeks ago and I am afraid I am getting depression a little. It would be nice to just go and get my hair done by myself but if I did that he would have to go with me. Hubby just doesn't feel comfortable with him alone and neither do I really. My husband isn't even trained in infant cpr; I have showed him but it is not the same as formal training. I am happy that Ryan is doing better and I hope that it stays this way. That monitor is a godsent for me. I don't have a good suport system either because both my family and my husbands family is pretty crappy, also my husband works alllllll the time since the is the only breadwinner of the house. So, I manage the older 2 kids, the house and Ryan basically myself; it is getting easier though. I feel like I have been babbling well anyway, I hope you all are doing well and thank you for all of your responses and comments.

If anyone read my comment in the 1 month baby section on Saturday you will know that Ryan had an episode on Friday where he stopped breathing and was in the hospital overnight for observation. Ryan was diagnosed with acid reflux at 2 weeks old and has been taking zantac and on the formula alimentum ever since. Anyway Ryan now has a monitor, which detects his heartrate, respirations and any periods of apnea. hr can't go below 80 or over 200 or the alarm will sound and the apnea period is detected as no breathing for at least 20 seconds. Anyway Ryan had his first low heartrate apnea alarm whike swinging in his swing; I ran to check him tapped his shoulders and he responded. I don't know what caused this doc thinks this is related to the reflux. I can't live like this ; I can't stop worrying about my baby. I love him more than life and I can't bear for anything to happen to him. Of course this monitor is to hopefully prevent a tradjedy God forbid! I don't want to have to respond and need to do cpr or have to call 911 but I have to be prepared. PLEASE pray for Ryan please pray that he out grows the reflux or whatever is causing this. I cannot go on the main baby forum anymore because the Peytons mommy trajedy hits too close to home for me with Ryans problems. Reading about her upset me too much. I need all the support I can get right now and I wish I had someone to help me at home but I don't my husband works at night. I have instructed my older 2 kids to be prepared to call 911 if am episoed happens and I need to do crp on Ryan . I don't like to talk about this but we need a plan to be set in place. My husband is upset and says he can't live like this and I should just go live in the hospital with Ryan because he is scared and worried for Ryan. He says we can't live a normal life. I am very emotional and just want to cry all the time. If you want to leave me a message I will welcome it. Thank you all, please pray for Ryan and his safety.
