My baby was just flown to NICU

JaiMacreiberts

Lily Anne was born at 8:51 AM via c-section. Her heart started having problems handling contractions and, as it turns out, she was trying to enter the world ear first. They did not like her oxygen levels and kept her in the nursery to a good part of the day. She also had trouble regulating her temperature. I was finally wheeled to the nursery to see her around 3 this afternoon and at 5 they suggested I try Kangaroo Care to help her get her temp up as nothing they were doing was working. Her temp went up from 97.1 to 98.6 and she nursed like a pro. I thought things were going to be all right until an hour later a nurse came in from the nursery and said that her oxygen levels had dropped again and that she had a heart murmur. They also said a chest x-ray showed that her heart was a little too large. They recommended sending her to the Children's Hospital and that hospital agreed. They sent a helicopter for her and I was finally able to get a wheel chair so I could go back and see her again with DH. She's gone now and we are waiting to hear from her new doctor. I have had so little sleep and am simply terrified about what is happening to my little girl so far away. I'm hoping my OB will discharge me soon so I can go be with her. All your thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.

My heart goes out to you!  All kinds of thoughts and prayers coming your way.  Try to get some sleep so you can be ready for tomorrow.  Your little one needs you to be strong and that means sleep!  Hang in there.

Sending t&p your way. My LO was in NICU after my c-section and I know how hard it can be. Sounds like she's in good hands. Stay strong momma.

That is scary.  I will be thinking about you and your little one! If a baby ends up in a NICU, I would feel the most confident about Children's - GL and sending you lots of T&Ps!

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I know how hard it can be to have your LO taken away, but try to remember that she's getting the absolute best care she can. You'll get to be with her soon. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

Congrats on your beautiful girl and hang in there!  Get some rest to help you heal so you can see your daughter soon.  Ts and Ps for your family!

As scared as you are (and rightfully so), remember your precious baby is now in the best hands in your area. IF there is a problem, they will identify it and try to fix it. Sometimes C-section babies just have oxygen problems because their chest doesn't get that "squeeze" that vaginally born babies get while being born. (I am a respiratory therapist at a hospital with a level 3 NICU)  I'll keep you and LO in my thoughts.

I'm sorry you are going through that. Best wishes for you and your family,

I'm so sorry that you guys are going through this.  I'll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers and hope that they will be able to determine and solve her issues quickly.  I know how hard it can be to want to rush out and be with her but please make sure you are taking care of yourself as well.
