I beside myself, my sisters little 11day old baby admitted to hospital last night with strep b infection they believe. This morning she is struggling to breathe and is having chest xrays now. Maybe airlift to Perth. Does anyone know anything or had experience with strep b in a newborn. I just want to be there for my sister but my DD has a cold, coughing, sneezing and really snotty so I can't be near them at the moment. I feel terrible because my sister was there for me when DD was in neonatal unit. Please share what you know. I've googled it and know it isn't good.
Update is, looks like an enlarged heart she is on CPAP machines and being airlifted to Perth anytime now. She was born with a 2 vessel instead of 3 placenta so I guess this could be part of it. Anyone have some experience with enlarged heart?
hope your sisters baby comes through all this ok. Sorry can't help you with experiences in these problems. just wanted to let you know am thinking of your sis her her bub and bub gets better soon.
