off the subject but sort of on the subject of people assuming. i am finding it incredibly difficult to keep sick people away and for them to understand that Ava, even though developmentally is doing well, she still has a compromised immune system and has only been off home 02 for 5 mnths.I'm ALWAYS having to explain her corrected age and that she does not do things like full termers. prems no matter what their gestation deal with a whole range of problems. I AM SO SICK OF EXPLAINING THIS!!!!!!somedays I just want to cry. I don't really have a social life becos hubby works away and becos winter is approaching so is flu season. People just don't understand that i cannot/ will not take ava into crowded places still becos of this. One flu could put her on a ventilator as she still has chronic lung disease. Does anyone else have these issues? and to top it all off i don't have any support and havn't had any support for babe since coming home. i've had to endure this myself while DH works away. I'm tired, lonely and just plain upset over the whole premmie experience.
sorry about the vent ladies but Mikenzees mum has brought it to the surface for me.(not blaming hon just needed a vent you've helped humble me somewhat) I really feel for everyone who has stuff going on with their babies all the time. Just wanted to clarify that Ava is not out of the woods yet. everyday is a challenge.
