y'all are awesome, part 2

I didn't mean to hijack the last post. We spent 12 days in the NICU with a 35w baby. Dash has a level 2-3 IVH. He was hypoglycemic and had a gavage. He was on a ventilator, a c-pap, a nasual cannula, and then room oxygen. He has a heart murmur.

He was LGA so he doesn't qualify for medicaid. He's home on an apnea monitor and anti-seizure meds.

And he's thriving.

And if I didn't have y'all to come to with every little thing that worried me about this kid, I'd go batshiit crazy.

We are all survivors. And I adore each of you, all your stories, all your kids.

Thank you.

Ain't that the truth? ?This board has been a lifesaver for me too!

No matter how long the stay, or what procedures our kids have endured, the one thing they share is that they all had to stay in the NICU and be separated from us   HUGS to all

And, the tears are back.  I am having an emotional day today.  I am feeling so grateful and loved.  Thank you, preemie moms and their families!

Ha ha!  I agree 110%.  I love this place and am feel so welcome even though I too had a big old preemie (8lbs, 36 weeks).  No one here judges any one and is full of support and advice.  You are all such great mommies, friends and people!  

I had my little bro over last night for dinner bc my parents are out of town and he is still in HS.  I was on the bump and explained a little about it when he asked what I was doing.  He said, why would you want to go there and read all of those stories anyway?  My response, "because I love all of the ladies on here.  It is the one place I can go where everyone understands what I went through with Ryan and I feel great when I can give advice to someone who is going through it now."  I really do love this board!
