I hate how sick they get

This winter has been terrible already with a hospital admission for DD3 (my 28 weeker) which she still has a horrid cough 5 weeks later and we are now on hospital alert with my DS4 (25 weeker).
It just truly breaks my heart that they have had to go through so much in there short little life times. (I know there is much worse)
My tiny premmies seem to suffer so much more than the others...it just eats me up that my body failed them and left them so vulnerable.
I just hate seeing them so sick...again :(

:hug: hun, that really does suck.... Squid's little bubby is back at hossy again too, so I know they understand and I get a knowledge from them at how damn hard it is and how often and long these things can go on for premmie bubbies. I hope that they both mend fast and get stronger soon. xoxo

Thanks Ozzie
I really hope squids little bub is better soon and back home again...poor little poppet :(
I hate seeing all my kids sick but my tiny ones get so much sicker.

huni im a 24 weeker and get ill easily myself. dont blame yourself huni. you are a amazing mummy xxx

Please don't blame yourself, they have a fantastic Mummy so actually they are very lucky! I hope the winter goes quickly and your little ones go from strength to strength.

:hug: :hug:
It's really, really tough, that first winter with DS1 was just horrendous, so many hospital admissions, stopping breathing etc. Remember, as they get older, their lung tissue starts to replace more of the damaged stuff from all the ventilation etc so they will both get stronger the older they get.
Doesn't make it any easier when they go into hospital though.....

Hope they feel better soon.
Never easy with a child in hospital. :-(

Hugs... You did NOT fail them babe xoxox
I'm sorry they get so sick xoxox Sending you wellness and strong vibes xox

:hug: I hope they both start feeling better soon x

Hun its not your fault so please stop blaming yourself and seeing yourself in such a negative light. You are an amazing mother and its very challenging being a mummy to such little babies, they are lucky to have one so devoted and caring. I hope they recover quickly. Love to you

Thank you so much for you really lovely words, they mean a lot...I have just got to learn to believe them myself.
I keep waiting for it to get better...I am really hoping that next year it is :(
They both loss so much weight when they are sick and they are both underweight as it is.
Anyway enough winging...I am sure all your wonderful strength and well wishes will help :)

I'm sorry sweets that your little ones have to suffer so much now. As Sally2 said, it will get better as they get more mature lung tissue later on. Big hugs lovely and you are doing a fantastic job, those kidlets have the best mummy in the world.

Poor poor u.
If u don't mind me asking now early is too early for a premmie?

Anything under 37 weeks is too early. It's no fun having a sick child premature child.
It can be hell on Earth. Especially getting your child ripped out and away from you.
Having your little one go into surgery. Ventilated. Morphine withdrawel.

How have your little ones been going over the winter, Rainbow?
DD made it through OK cold-wise, although she appeared to have a mass in her bowel the other day and we were going to put her in hospital as she couldn't poo and was straining alot. But, she managed to poop and the mass is gone.
Off to see her surgeon next week for he 9 month surgical review.
As it might be with your littlest one, bowel obstructions are always a very real possiblity.

Big hugs hun. Its really awful with the littles when they are so sick. We are the same boat with DS2 in and out of hospital and really underweight. You just what you can hun. Our thoughts are with you.
-Your body didnt fail them, dont think that way sweety
