{twin} - sending healthy vibes his way that's he's off the cpap & in with you real soon. Xx
 
Sending all positive big breathing vibes his way! It appears the worrying is there from the day you conceive until way past their 30th birthday!!!
 
Awh Twin how worried you must be :( hope your holding up ok xxxxxx you have been through a lot too . Sounds like my niece had something similar think they called it " wet lungs " she was on CPAP for 2 days and then went from strength to strength ! She now a fit and healthy 3 year old . Apparently its common in prem babies .

Keep us posted xxx
 
Thanks ladies. I'm a right mess, but only because I totally was not expecting anything to go 'wrong' (I should be wiser than that by now!).
LW that sounds exactly like what he has, done to almost every detail!

Only thing is chest X-rays are clear - but they've already explained to me that they still believe there to fluid in there causing this.
The few days of cpap for your niece and 'typical recovery time' from google have me feeling more hopeful.

Come on little man, show me you're mummy's fighter!
 
Oh twin it must be so hard but please god in a few days this will all be a distance memory and part of his birth story he asks when he is growing up ! Mam tell me about when I was born and had to get help . The cord got caught around me and I was rushed away , I still get told that story and I'm 41 !!!

I hope you have lots a " real life support and people minding you . Its a hard time without this complication . Are you getting to hold him and spend time with him ? I hope so . Keep us posted
 
Twin hope he gets well ASAP!!! I'm sure you're exhausted and stressed

Good that no fluid seen on chest x ray so fingers crossed he progresses well now
 
Thank you tickle and cmc xx

LW I don't know why it's getting me down so much - I've been through it with my twins. 21 long days (which I know in reality is a small stay). But I guess because I could touch them and hold them it was easier.
He's been put on no touch/cuddles etc as at the moment it's over stimulating him and he needs all the energy he can to breathe/improve. It's just hard coz all I want to do is stroke his little hand, or cuddle him or feed him and he can't have any of it.

Waaaaaah :cry:
 
oh TWIN - to be so in love with new Mr Adorable and cannot touch him!!! Congrats on baby Zane and pray he goes home soon!
 
Twin it is so understandable why you feel so upset :( I'd be worried if you were not . You cannot do what must feel like the most natural thing in the world which is care for and comfort your son . You make sure and look after yourself and build yourself back up . I hope you can talk to him as your voice will provide him with comfort even if you cannot touch him right now . He has heard you very day for months and it will sooth him xxxxxxxxx

Zane is here! Yes ZANE!!! Still haven't decided on middle name yet, but hey took us this long for a first name :haha:

3.15pm today (Feb 19th), 38w on the dot (37+6 to them). 8lbs 9oz (3890g)!!!! No length yet as they haven't measured it, hopefully tomorrow.
I ended up being put to sleep at the end because while they were riffling around in my insides stitching me up, it felt like they'd dumped a ton of bricks onto my ribs. Wasn't extremely painful but very very uncomfortable with lots of profanity coming out of my mouth lol.
When I woke up 30 mins later and went to recovery, Zane was very sleepy and grunting - signs he may have a little fluid on his lungs. He's currently in the nursery 😢 chest X-Ray looks clear and waiting for blood results for infection. If fluid treatment is time and antibiotics. Sucky!! Waiting for catheter to be removed so I can go see him. They said maybe tonight but more like the morning.

Hope the pics work!

Will update more as I know xx

Sorry to crash the thread! <3 I was wondering about you Twinmummy, I'm praying so so hard!! Zane is just beautiful! :flower:
 
LucyLake you're just too sweet :flower:
We are doing ok. Lots of ups and downs and still in care. We are just waiting and hoping this clears up sooner rather than later.
How are your precious little men?
 
Hey ladies.

Zane had a good, fairly stable night. He's on 26% oxygen in the humidicrib (room oxygen is 21% so getting so very close!!). They're going to continue to wean down the oxygen and see how his stats go. They've upped his milk intake a little bit more, still not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but he's so much more content now he's getting food (as you do!). He will get bili lights for jaundice maybe this arvo or tomorrow and he's a little yellow. And another chest xray this morning to check on the air pocket.
But otherwise the paeds are very happy with his progress. I finally got to touch him again this morning when the nurses where doing their stuff to him and he was already unsettled. Was so nice &#128522;
 
Great news twin! It must be a great feeling to be able to touch him... Cuddles very soon :)
 
Twin - cos we chat on Facebook, I forget to post here....but don't want everyone else thinking I haven't responded....hahahahaha

That's wonderful news about Zane, hopefully he continues to improve over the next 24 hours and you can have him with you real soon {hugs}.

AFM - I took myself off bedrest today and have been cleaning.... I couldn't bear it any more. I will be back on bedrest tomorrow, except for my when my bro, sil and nieces and nephew come over for afternoon tea (to nose at the baby's nursery) :)

I have a ctg and BP check at the hospital tomorrow morning, then again Tuesday morning plus pre eclampsia blood work being run again Tuesday. Then need to call my Obs colleague Wednesday and find out the score & then if I am not admitted, will see my Ob when she is back from leave next Friday. I am so eager to get this baby out..... I want him not in special care though, so am trying to be patient awhile longer.

LW - how are you going?

How is everyone else going?
 
Wonderful news twinmummy06! I hope this time goes fast for you as it's tough to pump in the NICU and live there almost! We had a little setback with the boys not ready to hold temps just yet, but they are alive and this is their only issue so I'll take it. Sending huge prayers that little Zane continues to get better <3
