Marriage

Our little guy wasn’t in the NICU, but the CICU at 2 weeks old. He cardiac arrested and was placed on ECMO.

All things considered he is doing great. He is now 6 months old. He is still followed by a bunch of specialists and the high risk clinic.

However, I’m really struggling with how differently my husband and I have handled everything.

I feel like I bear the load of all the appointments, development, medications (6x a day), etc.

My husband pretty much has moved on with little appreciation for how far our son has come, or understanding just what a miracle it is we still have our son.

It feels like most normal people don’t understand the medical baby world but I’d expect him to a little since he lived it.

This is our 4th baby but the first that had a complicated start to life.

Does anyone relate to this? Any insight or advice?
