Hi, I stumbled on this site by accident and was encouraged by the words of encouragement offered to members etc.
I had my baby girl, Nia, on 13 July 08, gestation 23 +6 weeks. She weighed in at 650grams and so far, she is proving to be a little fighter. She has had respiratory problems that are settling, anaemia, PDA, overcome group B strep, and today, we got the shattering news that she has a fungal infection (candida) in her blood. A scan is yet to be performed to determine the extent of the infection.
My baby is very ill with the infection and the doctors are very concerned. The doctors at present are unaware of the outcome, however, they seem very concerned with the possible long term effects of this yeast infection ie mental ******ation. (if she survives) . I just want my baby to live as I love her so much already . We hope that she responds to the treatment. Naturally, we are very worried but we leave everything in the hands of God.
I thought I'd share this with you as i need an outlet before I go mad. I will keep you all posted. please keep your fingers crossed for me.
thanks
