HELP!!! Need advice!

So it is coming to the time where I need to go back to work full time..... Seems easy right? Just find daycare and go. Not so easy. With Bryce's health I have a bunch of dilemmas that I am not sure how to figure out...

1. Still seeing 4-5 doctors for his many health issues. Not as often as before but still pretty consistent.

2. Bryce has therapy 2 times per week at my house, and I think we'll be adding another due to his slight feeding aversion.

BIGGEST ISSUE 3. Bryce is still on O2 24/7 and we won't even begin weaning until at least mid May and that could take many months to get him off or mostly off... And no daycare that I have found will take him with the tanks because of the liability of the tanks tipping or other children getting caught in the extension to his cannula.

4. He is still a very hands on kid that requires more attention than even I can give with just having my three kids never mind 6 or more in a daycare.

5. And then of course THE GERMS!!!! Daycares are full of them and I would probably be out with him more than working due to the germ exposure....

6. And the topper... I do not have nursing and can't get nursing.... So no help there either..

Please if any other preemie moms or ANYONE has any advice it would be GREATLY appreciated, I am in a BIG PICKLE right now.

Just a picture for now

I still have to get Bryce's first birthday pics from other cameras, I promise I'll post them soon. For now here's some recent ones....

Faythe always jumps in the pictures and Nicole runs away.......

Easter

Going Private

So the day has finally come where I, like other preemie moms have to set my blog to private, I need to keep the riff raff out.... Whoever is still interested in keeping up with Bryce and his progress via my blog please leave me a comment or email me with your email address and I will set you as a reader. Once this blog is private if you haven't been invited to read it you won't be able to get to it. I will be fully private by the end of next week.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BUDDY!!!!!!

On our way to the docs right now but I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my little man!

1 Day until he's 1!

My how time flies....
After being in the hospital for 4 weeks in a bed upside down, many medications to stop labor, heparin shots 2 times a day, steroids for Bryce's lungs, no showers and having to use a bed pan for EVERYTHING, my water finally gave up and broke. They told me as long as the fluid was clear and I didn't get a temp I could still stay pregnant, this was at about 9 am they started antibiotics right away...... About 3pm I spiked a fever of 102 they checked my urine and I had a kidney infection, unfortunately they decided it was safer for Bryce to be born than to stay in, so they decided to induce me an 1 year ago tomorrow at 7:58pm Bryce was born. He weighed 1lb 8.2 oz and was 12 inches long..... You know how I said before that the day I was admitted was the first day of the rest of my life... Well I was wrong this was... This was the beginning of a journey I never thought I'd be on...... Thankfully though it turned out better than we thought and we now have a 1 year old son who is perfect in every way!

So enough of the sad stuff, just a quick update, we had Bryce's Birthday Party on Saturday, the weather turned out beautiful, I had too much food and Bryce slept through the first half but it was a great day and such a HUGE milestone to reach because to be honest there were so many days I didn't think we'd make the next day.
Tomorrow on his Birthday the poor baby gets to have his 1 year well visit (shots) Sorry buddy. So Ill update on his stats then. And I will try to get the pics that my mother and mother in law took from the party to show off.
