OMG----Our Abby is in the NICU !!!

Wed, 11-26-2008 - 8:56pm

Poor DD was home for 1 hour.....then Abby started to cry...then gag...then stopped breathing..started to turn blue !


DD smacked her back ..then put her finger down Abby's throat & she pulled out a big hunk of stringy mucus. Plus, she had not been nursing well at all today !


DD callled her pedi...he said come right ove...then at the office he sent her directly tot he ER....they put her directly in the NICU ( Neonatal Infant Critical  Care Unit)


Poor baby, blood samples, x-rays poking prodding...she hardly cried...so lathargic...she is dehydrated & xrays show alot of mucus strings in the lungs/borderline jaundice (that is common tho)


they are flushing her w/ alot of iv fluids..supplementing  w/formula....she will be there for 48 hours !


I talked DD into going home & getting a decent nites sleep...poor dd & sil are beside themselves.. But, Abby in is good hands in NICU ! While I was there...I was having flash backs to when Matthew was in the NICU for 1 month !


Will keep in touch...my poor Abby !   DD & SIL & I just finished having a good group cry !

Your DD is so smart!! She didn't panic, she knew just what to do! Excellent mommy that girl is! And now she and her hubby are worried sick I'm sure, along with you too. Abby will be fine, it's just going to be a loooooong 48 hours! Good you got
