Need prayers and support please for a 25 weeker

crazyanimals · March 2012

I don't normally do this type of thing but, my sister's (half sister) granddaughter was born at 25 weeks. She was doing great initially but now is going through a rough time. She needed no breathing assistance for about a week and is now on CPAP, was diagnosed with NEC, her whole little body is swollen from fluids and now she isn't urinating. If they can get her infection under control she will have surgery.

Prayers are needed for little Zoie. Her parents are only 18 years old and not handling things so well.

I remember reading a while back there is a website/foundation that donates support items to families in need with preemies but I can't find it now. Does anyone know what site that is?

Ts and Ps to them. The March of Dimes has good resources and the social workers at the hospital should be able to help as well.

NEC is a scary issue - so I hope they get it under control, and I'll be sending lots of good vibes out to your family and little Zoie and hope she can avoid surgery.

My 25 weeker is also named Zoey, and she is also a NEC survivor. Please send the mama to our board for some support and answers to her questions. Unconditional love and support is the best you can give to this mama during this tough time. T&P's.

Thoughts and prayers. I just gave birth to myblittle boy at 25 weeks a week ago and we're in another country. It's amazing how strong these tiny babies can be.
