Sorry Claire - I always associate babies in NICU as being prem, (as my daughter was quite prem), sorry, force of habit .
What I mean to say that it is totally inspiring to see kids born with difficulties, who go through such a hard time to get well in NICU type places, end up blossoming and beating the odds the medical profession sometimes give them. That extends to all kids / babies, not just the premmies.
welcome and thank you for sharing your daughters journey. what a scary start for you all.
I'm so happy to read how well she is doing now and defying what the medical professionals told you!
My son was born @ 33 weeks but in his first 48hrs he had a seizure. The cause what thought to have been either a grade II hamhorhage in his left brain ventricle or HIE.
we were told at that stage they did not know if he may have caused anything (they beleived it had not though and he never had another seizure) and it was a matterof time to see if he reached milsetones etc, which he did.
He turns 4 in April, he is a beautiful boy, he is actually having a big assessment tomorrow (which goes for 4-5hrs) to diagnose if he has Autsim or PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder)
he is speech delayed and has a sensory processing disorder but he is going to speech & OT at the moment and both are making a big difference in his life!
I hope your daughter continues to proove her strength and fighting spirit!
