No words for you hon.... just quietly here holding your hand :hug:
Infinity - last time I lit a candle for Miss H she had a positive improvement in her wellbeing; tonight I shall light that same candle for her in hope she improves her health rapidly. I will also light a candle for you to send you strength.
Massive hugs hun!
Ahh far out darling one. :hug: You are absolutely right, this is just not fair at all! :crying: Please know that you can say anything you want here on BB, we are all here to support you, offering love, warmth and understanding.
Please know that I think of you and your family often and I am always wishing your darling girl strength and healing. :comfort:
:hug: I am also sending your little girl strength and healing. Know that we are all here holding your hand every step of the way.
wow infinity, what a roller coaster ride you and Heidi are on. I so hope she comes through this fighting fit. Sending lots of strength to you and DP and healing vibes to little Heidi.
Oh Inifinity, I have no words, my thoughts are with you ...sending lots of strength & healing your way, to your little girl & to you. Big hugs :hug:
:hug: Infinity, I'm so sorry to hear Heidi has had a setback. I hope all that extra growing and the healing she did last time hold her in good stead now.
You really are on such a rollercoaster ride. :pray: for little Heidi and for you and DH for a speedy recovery for her.
Thinking of you all, hope that Heidi is battling well :hug:
Thank you all for your hugs, they were much needed. I'm just feeling so bloody helpless right now, its so deeply frustrating. And to see her unwell and so so flat is just terribly hard. Its always hard when your kids get sick, but such a tiny little girl who has been through so much already doesn't need to be going through all this again. She's barely moving, just sleeping away and hardly manages to wiggle around at all. When she's well she's normally very active & responsive. She'll open her eyes every so often, but just doze back off again. And she's not really tolerating being handled very much either, wincing and crying when the nurses go in to do anything. If she's left alone she doesn't seem to be in too much discomfort though which is somewhat positive I guess. Her poor little tummy is so round & tight.
She was stable enough overnight and things haven't got significantly worse which is reassuring. She's more bradycardic than she normally is (dropping her heart rate suddenly) but she manages to self-correct most of the time and its normal for them to do it when they're unwell. And they haven't ventilated her again yet which I am surprised about, I think they're just waiting to see how she copes for another day or two, and respiratory wise she isn't quite as compromised this time so I'm hoping so much that tube doesn't go back in. The treatment is much the same as last time - antibiotics, rest her from feeds for a good while and just see how things respond. They're xraying her tummy regularly to watch for any damage and the surgeon is popping back to see her just in case we need to go down that road. I think if she keeps having episodes like this we'll have no choice but to go in and have a look.
Lots of hugs and positive thoughts for you and your tiny little fighter xxx
Sending out lost of healing vibes to your little girl! She's been through so much, it's not fair that she's so sick!
Also sending out huge hugs to you & your hubby & family too!
Infinity my heart goes out to Heidi and you and your DH. I always check up on how you are doing but do not send you my well wishes enough. But you are often in my thoughts. I hope that she keeps stable and improves and does not require surgery or any other intervention. It is horrible seeing them so defenseless I know.
lots of hugs
Hold on to all the positive signs hun, I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you all, having only just passed the recovery period for the first hit of NEC, I pray that Miss Heidi remains stable and takes steps for improvement.
You are such a strong an amazing Mumma, who shouldn't be having to go through this rollercoaster, but you are doing so in such an inspirational way.
Thiking of you all often, and sending more strength and stability to Miss Heidi xxoo
I'm sorry sweets that Heidi is going through so much :hug:. i reckon Beema is right...hold onto those positives when the darkness comes down as i reckon they will help when light comes up again xx
There is good news (i can guess) that she is self-correcting...and that this is a 'normal' reaction to a difficult situation itms. and i can only imagine that the time off ventilation even when during the illness is a positive for her and a reflection of her strength.
These must be such scary times, know that we are thinking of you and sending all our love and strength :hug:
:pray: that she recovers quickly and doesn't need extra breathing assistance. I hope you have good news soon.
Hugs, Infinity. Thinking and praying for you, Heidi and DH and DS.
Aaah darling it's so hard & my heart is hurting for you. :comfort:
Right now you are her strength. So sit there & talk to her. Tell her how loved she is. Tell her your plans for her. Tell her everything. Pray. Visualise.
Keep pumping those breasts. When you're low plug yourself into the earth below and the sky above. Just KNOW that you are supported. Heidi is supported.
This is a living hell for you - but you will live through this & you will tell the story one day. Some of the story will be told with a smile & a giggle & some through tears. But know you will get through.
So many loving hugs coming to you. I have lit my candle for Heidi & it's burning brightly. :hug:
