I think there has already been alot of good advice on everything, I just wanted to tell you that I know the struggle of having one in the hospital and having other little ones at home. It is the worste feeling in the world. I have been through three admissions with Luke, while the rest of my children are at home. Fortunately, Luke is my youngest, but the others are all pretty close in age, so they were still big time in the mommmy phase during all three admissions. If you have someone who can switch off with you, that is really helpful. My mom or other family members will sometimes take a shift at the hospital with Luke. We live far away from the hospital where he is admitted so even that is not always possible. My husband and I switch off and we have also used the services of the child life center. They have sent volunteers to sit and play with Luke if we both need to be away from the hospital for a period of time.

Brandi~ hoping Ashlee is doing well today and they continue to do all they can to make her stay comfortable! Hoping as well that the baby is doing better and her cough is improving. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

Re. the other stuff that has cropped up on this thread...
There are big issues involving life, health and safety that most of us recognize for what they are: the kind of stuff that means 'this is really bad! call the dr, this needs attention, that is dangerous' ...you know what I mean.
That stuff aside though, there are very few 'blanket rules' when it comes to most issues we deal with. We can all say what our preferences, opinions and experiences are, and state what our doctors recommend for us personally: and the whole reason we post and ask questions is because we WANT others to share this information w/ us. But blanket statements that exclude the possible good points of what other people have to say often will only make others feel defensive or hurt when the only thing they intended to do was help the other person.
And there is a world of difference between posting to the effect 'you are totally wrong about this' (argumentative & insulting) and 'I disagree with this.' (respectful.) We all need support so much in the struggles we are facing: this is a mom here who was completely overwhelmed about her child's first hospitalization & how it would affect both her girls, for example... the way we deal with our disagreements/different ways of doing things will go so far in how we can maintain the supportive atmosphere we have on this site. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
