Today I touched Bram and Isa!! Today Isa is wearing her yellow smock with the tiny red roses. She looks like a princess!
Latest news on Bram and Isa: Isa is doing fine since the surgery. There is some concern about her brain though, the neonatologist was talking about 'white flare'. Same with Bram. She said this was normal with micro preemies but it should go away. Otherwise Isa is doing fine.
Bram has been very restless these past few days and they can't find why. The neonatologist said now the difference in birthweight shows. He didn't gain weight over the past few days, Isa did. They still don't know if the fungus is still there or not. The testresults are negative, the X rays aren't. Those still show spots on his lungs. They sent the X rays to another hospital for evaluation and on Thursday Bram will be subject of discussion on a boardmeeting with specialists.
Though both are looking ok and doing ok too they still are very unstable and in critical condition. She also mentioned Bram and Isa were the sickest preemies of the whole unit
My DS and DDIL later told me this neonatologist 'likes' to point out all the negative stuff. To be honest I think she's very realistic.
While we were there we were ordered to leave the unit because they were working on one of the other preemies and something went very very wrong. We don't know the outcome though as we weren't allowed back in. My DS told us he saw a flat line! Made me feel so sick and sad. I hope he or she made it!
Tomorrow I will be gone for most of the day so you won't hear from me till late in the afternoon.
QNS, nice kilt
Did he make this one himself too? I had to laugh about the way you're hugging him
