I guess her honeymoon period is over. Her PDA is moderate but I still dont know if she needs surgery. We are going to see her today so i'll find out whats going on. I hope she doesn't need the ventilator
Hi Steph, please don't worry about either the PDA or going onto the ventilator.
As concerns PDA, as per my previous blog, it is a very minor condition . We were very worried about the PDA or Heart murmur whern first told at 24 weeks until we realised the Doctors were not concerned about it.
Our Doctors initially told us the heart surgery needed to be completed quickly but later admitted if the baby was doing well it could even be done in years to come. The Ducts do often close themselves around 35-40 weeks anyway, as it did with Charlotte, and several of the other babies on the NICU ward. I have known people have the operation as teenagers.
As regards the ventilator, Do not think it as being as a negative, think of it as a positive. If she is on the ventilator then she can put more energy into putting on weight and growing stronger. We were happy Charlotte was helped with her breathing as it meant she could gain more strength by the day because all her energy was not taken up by breathing.
all the best

I'm uneasy
I don't like seeing her hooked up to the Oscillatory Ventilator
