Deb, I don't have a premmie bub, but I just wanted to give you a big hug. You have been through soo much. I don't have any wise words either. BIG BIG hugs. I will pray for you and your little girl.
Thankyou Det... Wow they were good sizes. Immy now is not 10kgs and she isn't on the growth chart. She hasn't caught up at all. She has very little vocab, she walks only just with a funny little gait... She is th light of my life. She too has CLD - but no cardiac issues at present. She was a slow slow starter even in hospy. We were in hospital for 14.5 weeks...
Deb will be thinking of you and Miss Immy tomorrow and in the weeks to come, I cannot imagine how you must be feeling, sending you the warmest of hugs and will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers. I PM'd you the other day about this thread.
My daughter was born at 28weeks and weighed 100 grams more than your little one.
She didnt need ventilation and was on cpap for 4 days.
Very uneventful 9 weeks at KEMH. She just needed to learn to feed (desat was frequent and thankfully zero bradys) and get fat.
She crawled at 11 months, walked at 21 months and is bout to start kindy in February 2010.
She has a stutter and that's about it.
We are very lucky that she has no issues from being so early.
Apart from being petite .. she is fit and healthy.
I cant offer you any more advice sorry but I wish you all the best.
