havanaholly Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Babies born really early may have what's called a ductus arteriosus which is an opening between the pulmonary vein & artery and increases blood volume in the heart & lungs, making it very hard work for the baby to breath. There are several non-invasive tretments to be tried before they'd do it surgically, but it is very treatable, and all of you are in my prayers; so that the warm {{{hugs}}} you feel are God passing mine on to you.

Cuppa-Tea Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm so sorry to hear this! I will add him to my prayers. Does he have a name yet? My son was in the NICU at first and it was really scary, but he wasn't premature Thank God. I agree with Irene... those NICU nurses and doctors are angels on earth! I'm sure he is in excellent hands.

lumberjacksgurl Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Peachie....you know my hugs are for u and good thoughts for our little man. Izzy was also in NICU for a bit. Remember as I said, three weeks premature has incredibly good results!!! The staff in there are the best in the world, and even if things seem to not be going right, they will know what to do. I know you have your hands full with the girls as well, you are doing what you can to support your family in this very stressful time and that makes you a very important part of the team to allow the little man to get stronger.

Shy Spirit Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Peachie, take some strength from our staunch support - I'm thinking of you and the little guy, and sending healing vibes your way. My nephew was also born premature - three months early. Although there were many tense and anxious times, I'm happy to report that he will be turning twenty next month! Don't worry too much - it will all work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachie Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Baby Dylan was put on the resperator this morning.....his lungs have not fully developed....so he will remain in the hospital for 3+ weeks.....but the dr. did say he was a fighter.....the family wants to thank you for the prayers........

Shy Spirit Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thank goodness our hospitals have the doctors and technology to help in these medical crises. The respirator will breathe for him, and he will have the chance to develop as if he were still in the womb. It is scary to see such a wee one hooked up to tubes - I know, I've been there - but it is a miracle that these things are possible. Hugs to you and your family.
