Autumn update and new sister

July 14, 2005

Hi all. I just wrote a post and it vanished when I hit send. I

just wanted to ask you all a question. Autumn is doing good, she is

up to 17 lbs as of a couple of days ago. I have not posted in a

while due to our computer crashing about 1.5 mos ago, I am now

postin from the hospital. I gave birth to my new daughter Summer

Rose last Friday. She had been closely followed with ultrasounds

and it was noticed she ahd stopped growing 2 weeks earlier so they

got me to the hospital immidiatle and induceds. She was born at 4

lbs 13 oz, tiny little but was doing well. Went home sunday

then tuesday she turned totally blue during a feed, I got her to

come back with lots of stimulation and we went to the er. she is

now in the rcnic (neonatal intensive care) at childrens here in

cinci ohio. they think it may be reflux and she shuts of her

airways then her stats drop drastically and she get no oxygen adn

needs stimulation to come back, and we are trying to figure out

whjat is up. I feed her in a sitting position now it is helping.

she has had barium swallow and upper gi tests, all normal, antoher

endscopy test on monday to check her out. any one had this happen?

they also wanted genetics to look at her because htey said feeing

pros and her size could mean syndrome...anyways, she is

proportionate, acutally her head is small, so was autumns at birth

too, I was told because couldnt grow righ in womb, so once out it

shot up catch up growth to 50% and ther has sstayed, but her body

never caught up. I dont' know what is going on now. This is been

crazy 2 months...mymom got breast cancer, good news is it didn't

spread adn radiation and lumpectomy should be enough, son Skye ahd

neck lump removed (benign, yippe) and jsut got diagnosed last week

with aspergers anxiety and ocd after mos of evals at childrens. he

also is on periactin and gained 4 lbs in a month...he hadn't gained

any in over a year and is really small and skinny, docs dont' know

why, was born ave size....any ways, any one experiecned reflux like

this?

thanks.
