Further to my last entry, our daughter is still in SCBU. She was in intensive care for 6 weeks and went into High dependency on Wednesday.

Our precious litle daughter was born on the 5th December 2001, 15 weks early weighing 1lb 11ozs. She is now weighing 3lb 1oz and at the moment thriving. I say at the moment because any parent who has had a baby in SCBU will know that it is one hour at a time. Our darling daughter suffered a pneamathorax at 2 days old, a IVH at birth, has had 10 blood transfusions, a platelet transfusion, contracted memingitis and E-coli, she is having lots and lots of jerky movements that are bieng controlled by drugs but she is still with us and with every problem comes a joy. She is sucking on my breast and at only 31 weeks gestation that is remarkable, she is gaining good weight, she screams the place down when she is hungry and has a dirty nappy. She certainly has a mind of her own. We pray every day for her safety and no matter what the outcome she will be much loved and cared for

Our son was born at 24 weeks due to my sudden and severe onset of pre-eclampsia (toxemia). He weighed 460 grams (one pound) and was 11 inches long. They told us he wouldn't make it at first, and even called us at 2:30am after one week to drive an hour to the hospital to say goodbye to him, but after 4 months in the NICU and overcoming many challenges, he made it. Some of these complications include a pulmonary hemmorrage & surgery to close a duct in his heart (PDA), ROP in both eyes and laser treatment, bone fractures, apnea, many NEC scares & eating problems, hernias & hydroceles. He is now 9 months old (really 5 months) and weighs 15 lbs. He is smiling and laughing and cute as ever, and LOVES to eat! He is on home oxygen because his lungs are damaged from being on the ventilator for 11 weeks. But they think he'll heal himself and come off oxygen by April. He gets monthly RSV shots & is visited weekly by Early Intervention. They say he has muscle stiffness and severe delays but we're working with him to help him move and stretch and gain his strength. They don't think it is CP but we have to wait to see. We are so proud of our little "Duffer" (his nickname) and so blessed that he is finally home with us. We cherish every second we have with him, and smother him with love and kisses. We wish anyone going through this strength and courage and love.

I had my son, my first born child at 27 weeks. He was born weighing 2lbs 8 ozs and 14 inches. That was on March 1, 1999. He is now almost 3 and thanks to the NICU where he spent his first three months of live he is doing great now.Now the problem i fear is having another child. Nobody could tell me the reason i had him so early, The only thing i was told is if i were to have another id spend the pregnacy on bed rest how do you do that with a toddler who is so precious to you...
