    Hugs Dampyre sounds like you need them, all of my babies were in nicu/scn the girls were premmies and ds was full term. He was the hardest to leave behind as we didn't know why he was sick. He had jaundice and was under the lights for two days but he also had a low grade fever of 37.2. He had daily tests and antibiotics I wasn't able to stay with him as the hospital was full it was so hard to leave him there, even though I got to be with the girls. We still don't know what was the cause but they think he had an infection somewhere. Hope your bub picks up soon.

    Vic was 10 days late and 5 days in SCN, a day on peads (diff. hopsital) two days in ICU and 5 on peads. he was in SCN due to temp and low BSL, but after a lumbar puncure they think he had meningitus so had two weeks of AB's and due to his poor vein access ended up with a hickmens (which moved) and then a right femrel CVS. thats why we where in ICU for two days to make sure he didnt move it. i had DH & Dj in every second day but was alone most of the time slightly differant but if you need to talk im happy to listen xx
