Well quick update on Ronan - he is now in SCN as of 2/3 days ago! It has taken him 10+ wks to get there but it is fantastic! He now weighs 3087 grams, 53cms long & 33cm head.. He is on 55mls of milk every 3hrs and is a happy little boy! It is hard to believe i should have been 37wk 5 days pregnant! lol
He has been on Low Flow for the past 5 days, so he finally threw the CPAP out the window and his PDA closed hence why he is FINALLY smooth sailing.. We don't know when we will be home but we are guessing around another 3 weeks (13 weeks in total) so it's been a lonnnnnnnng road.. I am finishing work next Friday so i can't wait!
Jess, sorry you had an awful day, I remember those feelings, massive highs thinking you would get your baby back with you, then them being dashed by something that is seemingly so trivial for us, but life threatening for them. Just try to remember that they are doing what they think is right for your little man. I know its hard, but it won't be much longer.
Racoon, just had a look at your site, Ronan is such a little fighter! Seeing him on CPAP reminded me of all that we went through with Coby. Awful. That's great that he's moved to SCN and will only be there for a little while before you have him back with you.
Girls, does anyone have a bub that had reflux or similar? Coby had an immature valve between stomache and oesophagus and continually vomitted for about 7-8 months, now he has this REALLY strong gag reflex and he vomits with everything. I just get so sick of it, I know I shouldn't feel this way, but it annoys me so much and makes me so angry when he vomits, and I just can't feel sympathetic to him (unless of course he really is sick from something like a cold or whatever). I feel like the worlds worst mother, I can't believe that something like this really gets me down, but it does. Every day for the past almost 12 months, I've been cleaning up vomit, have been vomitted on etc and its driving me batty. Does anyone else deal with this sort of thing or similar? How do you cope?
