little Elena

Man this whole thing sucks. Elena turns 4 months on the 11th. She is still in the nicu. Still has the low flow canula. She is having a hard time with feeding. I feel like I cant talk to anyone about it cause I feel like a broken record. I miss her ALL the time. I just want to cry ALL the time. She has to go in for two test and they r gonna transfer her to childrens for those two test. But before she can even have one of the test she has to be able to drink from a bottle and it has to be a certain amount. I feel so lost. I feel like my hopes keep getting let down. She is 6lbs 8oz this morning. I hate it. I just want her home and healthy. I can only see her every other day and sometimes its three days till I can see her. The gas is killing me and my other kids keep me busy! It sucks !! Any advise ladies???

awww hun sorry i have no advice but i wanted to give you big big hugs

Don't feel bad about talking about her hun, you might say the same things over and over but who cares! Your upset about your little girl and you should be able to talk about it
I really hope its not too long before you get to bring her home hun

Being in the NICU sucks...big time I hope your little one recovers and comes home soon to you. Sometimes you feel like there is no end to the trauma. But one day she will be back home with you! Its ok to cry and feel sad about it. Most " normal" moms will never understand what you are going through. They make such a big deal of their childrens' shots that you want to punch them.

Big hug, Elena, come home soon to mommy!

You said it best it really sucks. My son was a 25 weeker and we did out time in NICU everythime i left him I cried and hated being away from him, i didnt have any other kids so it was easy to spend every waking minute with my little guy. Look their is no way to cope in NICU its not easy i just learnt to manage it, i never got used to it at all, just keep looking forward to the day he would be discharged. GL and stay strong. I hope Elana grows from strength to strength and is home very soon.
