Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi! Thanks! Yes, she was just 2 days old and that picture was taken right before we left the hospital, and can you believe they wanted to send us home the day before?? I said NO, I stayed the full 2 days permitted. Summer only needed a little oxygen at birth but was full term just very little so they said she was fine. 2 days after this picture, she was home and turned totally blue and stopped breathing during nursing and was admitted to the NICU for a week. (THat is why I think 2 days hospital stays are not enough) She had malacia, reflux, and coordination issues with breathing and eating and would turn blue and desat. She eventually outgrew the malacia and coordination issues (YIPEE). It was tough for a while after the NICU because I had no monitors to track to watch her oxygen, I had to watch her at all times during feeds to make sure she wasn't turning blue and had my hand on her chest to monitor breaths during feeding. Even when I knew she was struggling adn would pull her off of feeding instantly, she would begin to turn blue, gasp, struggle, then pass out. It was horrible but apparently normal for her issues then. > > I saw the pictures of your children... What a wonderful bunch you have! > I can't believe Summers picture in the car seat.
