I was wondering if anyone has had to cope with similar circumstances to mine.
My daughter gave birth to our grandson 5 days ago, he was 24 weeks 4 days in the womb. She was luckily found a bed and an neo-natal ICU for the baby. My new grandson is 1lb 1oz tiny. My daughter has requested no visitors to meet the baby due to the high risk of infection to the baby.I have been to see her once as she doesn't want a lot of visitors again I fully support her decision to protect the baby as much as possible.
My daughter is sending photos and videos daily.
I feel so helpless and my heart aches for them all.
Here's the problem we have booked a 10 day break about 1hr 30 mins from home, my daughter wants us to go,telling us that if baby takes a turn for the worse she will let my husband and I know. We desperately need a break my health has been very poor this year. My head tells me to go and come back if needed,my heart tells me to stay at home closer to the hospital . Any advice would be welcome, but please keep it nice, I'm struggling as it us
