Hi , Sorry its so hectic for you right now. My daughter

was aslo taken via c-section at 36 weeks for not growing in womb/low

fluid. She did the exact same thing that Summer did. She turned

blue and her heart rate dropped very low. Luckliy this was while we

were being discharged from the NICU to go home. The nurses ran over

and got her to breathe. They kept her in for 2 more weeks and did

all of the tests that Summer had done. They said it was probably

Reflux and I had to pump and put rice cereal in her bottle for 2

months so the milk wouldn't rise back up and tip into her tracea?

and choke her. She wore an apnea moniter for 6 months and had a lot

more episodes at home. The moniter was so helpful in letting me

sleep because I knew it would go off if Mia stopped breathing for

more than 20 seconds. She outgrew the reflux. At 2 months I

started breastfeeding her (amazinly she took right to the breast

after 2 months with the bottle!) I hope this helps and I will be

thinking about you!
