Update on my boys....

Hey ladies,

Just thought i would update on the boys...
Mister Mateo had a callapsed lung last week. He was strugglin more than they wanted him to so he got taken off the nasa canula and got put back on the CPAP. I was so upset over this. I know its for the bettre but i got so used to seeing his face, when i seen that CPAP on i lost it. I think i have held all my tears back and the hormones got the best of me. I don't remember when the last time is i cried that much.
That same night Mister Cristian started bleeding. He has what started out to be a sucking blister(so we thought). Come to find out it is a hemangeoma(sp). He lost 14 CC of blood. They tested him the next day and he was severly anemic. He just got 2 blood transfusions. The docs also said he might have an infection and talked about testing him for menengitis! NOw remember this is all in one day.. I think i made everyone feel sorry for me cause i cried so much. Ugly thoughts passed throught my head. I honestly thought he was going to die.
Things have slowly started to get better. Crisitan is looking alive again with color, he is eating and being himself again. He is on antibiotics for infection. They did not do the spinal tap to test for meningitis. Plastic surgeons are waiting for his lip to produce the outer layer of the hemangeoma to try and do the surgery on it. I hope that is soon. I really want to be able to nuzzle or nipple feed him. He can't even get his binki.. Other than that Cristian had a good night last night. Mateo's lungs seem to be getting better. I just got a call form the NICU nurse and they are going to try him on the nasal canula again. I can't wait till Cristian comes off. I want to see his face so bad and it is so hard cause he is tiny and the CPAP overtakes his face.

As for me, I have been emotional and stressed. I know i complained about all the aches and pains being pregnant, but the aches of my heart are way worse than any pain i endured. I know each day will get better but let me tell you this is one of the hardest things i have had to endure..

I haven't had a chance to upload pictures, but i will soon. Thank you all again for the thoughts and prayers. You ladies hang in there and you all will be holding your Little one's shortly!!

Oh yes i forgot to tellyou new weights...
Mateo is now 4 pounds 2 oz
Crisitian is now 2 pounds 15 oz

 

They sure have been through alot in the NICU. I am so sorry that you are so stressed out. Please come and visit us in the NICU forum if you have some time. There are lots of ladies that have all BTDT and are a wonderful support system. I hope your boys have a speedy time in the NICU and they are home in your arms very soon! :hug99:
