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 !

Hi Bunny - I'm sorry I didn't see your post until now and I don't have time to read all the replies.
Granny to Caleb and Scotia
OMG Bunny I am soooooo sorry to hear that. The hair on my arms were standing up while reading this. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with dear Abby. She is being well taken care of and I am sure she will be fine in a day or so. It is still very difficult to see a child having to go through all of this poking and probing.
((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))) to you,your DD and SIL. Be strong and know that I will be thinking of her.
