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 !

I'm glad she'll be home in a few days. I think adults are so overwhelmed by their sweet perfection that we forget how fragile these newborns are and that yes, things do go awry.
