My daughter had twin babies at just 25 weeks gestation. They were in the NICU for 110 days and came home end of July. They are still on oxygen but they are doing well. Our journey with them has been one fraught with worry, bad news, a never ending rollercoaster. We almost lost the 1 twin to a bad infection and they are miracles to have even survived. I am an absolute wreck around them. I panic when one of them even coughs a little for fear they are choking or they can't get air, the list goes on. This isn't normal anxiety, it renders me unable to even enjoy them. Their traumatic birth and time in the hospital has left me in some trouble it seems. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had an issue similar to this with preemie granbabies who have been through many health issues as my grandsons. I'm ashamed of myself. My daughter needs my help and I hide it the best I can when I am there with them, but inside I am an absolute mess. It seems to getting worse and not better.
