What a difference a day makes 😒😒

Yesterday my daughter and daughter-in-law were busy grumbling about how slow their first house purchase is taking and wishing it would speed up as they signed their contract 5 weeks ago.

Today my sweet DiL, who’s carry DD baby went into spontaneous labour and after waters broke and baby was upside down with umbilical cord separating, she had an emergency C section and then at 13:00 baby Henry was born at 24.9 weeks, weighing 1lb 6oz.

We are all hoping for a good outcome in the end, please pray to whatever God or spiritual being or keep your fingers crossed that baby Henry comes through this.

DD and DiL in shock and baby about to be transferred to a Neonatal Unit in a hospital nearly 40 miles away. This is their first baby and first try at IVF. He’s so tiny (I couldn’t see him but DD sent photos) 😒

Cossy, please let you know how things are, as and when you feel that you can.
Look after yourself: your DD and DIL need you, and little Henry needs his grandma.

What a stressful time for the two girls. Life can truly turn on a sixpence sometimes.
Praying for a successful outcome for everyone, especially baby Henry xx

Oh Cossy - what a very worrying time for you.
Keeping you all in my thoughts.

My granddaughter was very prem , 27 weeker and weighed just one kilogram at birth. She is very brainy and is now at uni studying science. She was very,very tiny as a child and people used to be amazed that she could talk fluently because she looked so small.
It was a difficult and stressful beginning. She had to have blood transfusions and her breathing would often stop. Tubes everywhere and one on one care at the NICU. Many tears from all of us. Hang in there, Cossy

Hang in there, Cossy. We have recent experience in our family of two seriously premature babies. One is now a strapping, bright four year old, the other, born in June, is making very good progress. Neonatal premature care is truly amazing these days. Henry will be in very good hands.
