Teeny baby

Good news about Daisy Flower, another step along the way to going home.

That's great news Flower She must be doing really well. It took our grandsons a lot longer to come off cpap but they got there in the end. They had skin to skin contact after about 4 weeks. I worried that they were missing out on.cuddles before that but I was told that too much handling was stressful to them as they really should have been still.in the womb. Still all is well now. It is their 1st birthday next week

grandma 60 I remember you posting and me replying about my Neighbour's neice last year. She is doing brilliantly and I am pleased your DGs's are also,she will have lung problems for some time but is is a joy to her family.All good wishes to you all and to Flower's DGD.

It's good to hear about these tiny babies. I can't believe how fast a year has gone, grandma60. Good to know your little ones are doing well.

That's great news Flower so nice to hear something cheerful.

So glad hat things are going well - what excellent news.

Thank you annsixty and Whenim64 . I cannot believe that a whole year has passed since the twins were born. I shall never forget the support that I got from Gransnet, especially the encouraging stories of Anns neighbours neice and the updates on When's twin grandchildren. The boys main problem is their lungs and there has been a couple of trips to hospital with chest infections but hopefully.things should gradually improve. The y were given so many things at Christmas that their parents have asked for donations to the prem unit instead of birthday presents. It is good to know that they can give something back.
I am sure that this time next year Flower will be giving us good news about Daisy

Good news is that she is ready to be moved to Special Care (next step up), her eye test had great results today, no problem so far with retina. She coped well with the invasive test too.

Lovely news, Flower. Onwards and Upwards.

That's great progress, Flower. Won't be long before she's in her open cot at this rate. Our little ones could have done with revolving doors between high dependency and special care, as they moved in and out quite regularly for a couple of weeks, but once they started feeding for themselves they quickly got stronger. Seems so long ago now, when I've been chatting with one of them this afternoon, sat on her potty singing 'Let It Go' at the top of her voice.

I have just come on this thread and have not read all of it.
Congratulations Flowerofthewest

My DGD3 was born at 30 weeks weighing 2lbs 10oz. She is now 18 and healthy.

My father was one of premature twins born at home in 1918. My grandmother was told that he and his sister would not see the next morning, they lived for many mornings. Both survived to old age, married and brought up families. Apparently they were placed together in the same cot and wrapped in warmed flannel.

Try not to worry too much I know this is hard.There were a few worrying moments with my granddaughter. At one moment she had to go into a more high powered incubator and also needed a blood transfusion. She also had a lowered immune system because of her prematurity and needed a few hospital stays in her first year.

Thinking of you and your family
