Sickly child

[u/CaramelRibbons]

Hello, right now I need some emotional support. In September I gave birth to the most beautiful son. My daughter (2) is obsessed with him. But he was born with a rare birth defect and other complex health conditions. I got to have him home for only 1.5 weeks before he was admitted to the hospital. He then received surgery and his right lower lobe of his lung was removed. He was unable to be extubated until November. I ended up in Cali for a month with my son in October and my husband lost his job because he had to watch our daughter. He received 4 total surgeries including other operations as well. All as a new born while I was and still am postpartum. We are struggling financially and it's been stressful. He got discharged on Saturday and I cried with joy. Only for them to have rushed him out. RT didn't see him, no one listened to me and they discharged him sick. Now he's back in the hospital and my Christmas, instead of it being with my husband and both my kiddos watching movies and drinking cocoa, will be partially spent in the hospital. Just as my thanksgiving and Halloween. My friends all dropped after this pregnancy, we are at the point that my husband may have to rejoin the military just to allow us to continue living safely. No jobs are responding to our resumes. I'm tired, scared my depression is worse, and I just want to sleep for hours until it all fixes itself but I need to pump for my son, cuddle and play with my daughter, and be present. It's so hard. I'm so tired. My soul hurts. I want my baby boy home.
