Nursing Help!

Yesterday Livy's insurance company called me to update their information on her health problems.  They didn't have it documented that she has a g tube.  Since she gets overnight continuous feeds, she was approved for 8 hours of nursing care during the night - 7 days a week.  This is going to be such a relief on us.  The milk is only good for 4 hours, so after that, we have to wake up and change the milk.  Not to mention the times she gets up for a binky.  Last night was rough, so I'm super glad that we will be getting help.  Her tube came unplugged and her stomach acid and milk all leaked out onto the crib.  She was so upset.  At least we won't have to worry about this happening anymore.  We will be interviewing nurses next week and then getting it started.  Because she is considered a level 1, she is only allowed to have a registered nurse.  Even better!!  There's always hope!
