NICU Mommas

tisroc · November 2010

It seems like there are a lot of us right now. Would you be interested in a weekly check-in? It might be nice to watch everyone's progress.

If so I'd be happy to send it out. What would be the vital list information: birthday, gestational age at birth, and maybe how we're doing with the majors like breathing and feeding?

He actually doens't have the cannula anymore (wooohooo!) He's getting all feedings by bottle and as of tonight he was up to 4lbs 5.1oz. Thanks for doing this! It will be cool to see everyone's progress.

Birthday: august 10, 2010Gestational age: 29 weeksMy son Drew is breathing on his own and he is home.He feeds from the bottle.I have been hearing a lot about exchanging gifts from other boards. Would anyone be interested?

This is great idea and I would really enjoy following everyones progress. My DD has been at home for a while but something like this would have been great while she was in.

Stay strong ladies!

Birthdate: October 2, 2010 Gest. Age: 24 weeks Breathing: ventilator, CPAP too hard on his nose, he had to go back temporarily to heal. Feeding: BM thru JT. Great idea!

Deutscher · November 2010

Fantastic idea, this board is so supportive!

Birthday 9-22-20

He is breathing on his own after a short stent with a CPAP and a longer with nasal canula. He is BF, but needs to have a few bottles a day with Neosure for extra calories!

Thanks!
