This part never gets easier. After being out of the hospital for a whole 5 weeks (the longest I've been out of the hospital in the past couple of years), I am admitted once again. Hopefully this won't be a long stay and I won't have to tell my baby girl goodbye every night. She knows this routine too well and it breaks my heart. But she sees momma being strong and fighting extremely hard every second of every day to be a healthy mommy for her. Melody Grace, you are my everything and I will never stop trying to get better for you. #beautifulbabygirl #goodbyesarehard #gastroparesis #gp #livingwithgastroparesis #livingwithgp #chronicillness #spoonie #professionalpatient #gastricneurostimulator #pacemaker #portacath #hospitalbaby #hospitallife (at Bayshore Medical Center)

Nothing says adulting like cheering yourself up ahead of a week of being a #professionalpatient like making some pretty paper clips for my planner. Lots of gems and sparkle just to make things happier. #potssyndrome #potsie #chronicillness #plannerbabe #mambihappyplanner #happyplanner #diyplanner #makerslife #planners https://www.instagram.com/p/B4I7gB2FhKE/?igshid=193dq0ibb0khh

Today is day 38 in the hospital this admission. But after some compromise with my doctor, I will be able to go home tomorrow and be with my little girl at home for her 2nd birthday! He wanted me to stay for a few more days because of fevers I've been having, but I really want to go home. Hopefully I won't have to come back for a long time. I've been in the hospital more than 120 days at least this year so far so I'm ready to stay out for awhile. I'm so beyond happy and excited! #day38 #gastroparesis #livingwithgastroparesis #chronicillness #hospitalbaby #professionalpatient #gettogohome #finally #ihaveatwoyearold 😊 (at Kindred Hospital Bay Area)

I got the most sweet and thoughtful gift ever yesterday! My neighbor and second momma handmade this beautiful healing quilt for me, prayed over by many people and stitched with love. It was perfect timing since I am going home today after 37 days in the hospital. am so grateful to have people that love me so much. It makes climbing this mountain with my health a lot easier. #gastroparesis #livingwithgastroparesis #gp #hospitalbaby #professionalpatient #chronicillness #handmade #quilt #healingquilt #thepowerofprayer (at Kindred Hospital Bay Area)
