Thanks so much for your replies. Some news - Max is now on CPAP (since Thursday, 48 hours now) and... so far, so good! Big, big changes for us, and we're just so surprised and very proud of this clever boy.
Still a long way to go, but we hope he can hang on for a decent length of time (and maybe not ever go back!) off the ventilator.
Kate Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful son..
My son was born at 27+3wks and was ventilated for 4wks, CPAP for 6wks , low flow for 2wks then went home with no oxygen.. He was in hospital for 3.5mths so i certainly know the road you are going down.. Max sounds like he is going from strength to strength and being born so early just means that he will take that little bit longer to get there but he will..
Ronan had a PDA which finally closed 5wks after 2 doses of endomethisun (sp?), Chronic Lung Disease and a double Hernia which was operated on 1 week before he came home for good.. He is now 7mths corrected and weighs approx 9kgs so doesn't look ex premmie at all so we are forever grateful that he is thriving so well..
I hope to follow your journey through NICU and read about how much your little man is growing..
