Welling up reading what you went through, I can’t imagine how tough that was but so glad to see him doing so well now. They are tough little things aren’t they.
Nephew has been transferred to another hospital in Oxford for specialist care. My sister will follow tonight, as she was in a pretty bad shape herself after all this with bleeding through the night, but on the mend now. Just have to wait and see what damage this has left on the little guy. He’s off oxygen, and has been awake and responding to stimulus, so positive signs. He was also just shy of 7lbs so not a bad weight at all for 4-5 weeks prem.
Sorry, probably not the best place to offload but this really helps having somewhere to talk about it.
Don’t be daft mate!! You vent on here, it’s totally fine
Happy to chat on here or PM if it helps.
It was horrendous and if I’m honest I well up every time I think about it. I’ll never forget how defenceless and the awful noises of the feeding tube being inserted.
I’m not ashamed to say I cried and cried, even the nurses were asking if I was ok. However he is a tough boy and so is your nephew! Archie was really poorly but is totally fine now and there’s no reason your nephew won’t be the same.
I told my mrs his story and she cried! The joys of being a parent I’m afraid!
