| Prayers for premie, please My dtr's neice was born 3 months early. Her mom started have contractions so the Dr. gave her meds to stop them. She had a reaction to the meds and got so sick - coughing and throwing up - that she broke her water. They took the baby - Kirsten - C-section 3 days ago. The Dr. said she had a good chance for survival but would be in the hospital for 3 months. This morning her lungs collapsed and she is on a ventilator with chest tubes. I know she still has a chance (my Krysten was 2 months early and went thru the same thing but she was almost 6 lbs). Kirsten is 2 lbs 4 oz. I wasn't going to come on here, but I have seen what all the can do, so I am asking for some prayers for little Kirsten. Thank you.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Sending tons of prayers your family's way. Good Luck. My sister is turning 20 this year. My mom was on the cusp of turning six months when she had her. My sister was literally the size of a budwiser can and weighed 2lbs. We had tons of complications with her including one time when she was almost dead and they were bringing a priest to give her last rights. We prayed and prayed and she came back to us. To make a long story short she is healthy and normal. So with lots of prayers and love she will make it. Girls are the fighters of the bunch according to the neonatal until at NYU where my sister was. So keep your chin up.

| Sandy, I am glad you posted this. You know how strong YT prayer's are. Kristen is a nice weight for being three months early. One of my co-worker's also delivered at 6 1/2 mos and her baby girl was under 2lbs and will soon be a year old and has caught up nicely. You would never know how tiny she was. It must be so scary for her family to see their baby so very tiny. Prayer's coming for baby Kristen and her family. God will watch over her and keep her safe. |

| Thank you for your prayers. When Krysten (our 18 y.o.) was in the neonatel critical care, the Dr. had called us in to tell us it was no longer a matter of when she came around (she was on 100% oxygen and not responding - along with shock and a non-working bladdr) it was a matter of if, we were terrified. But he also told us that premies can survive things that adults couldn't because they don't know how to give up. They only know the will to live. And that is what makes them survive beyond the odds. The next day, we got a call - Krysten had make her turn that night and was down to 56% oxygen. A couple days later she came off the respirator and a few days after that they called and asked if we would like to take her home. The Neo-Natel centers are incredible. I know one girl who was born 25 years ago so early she didn't even have all her skin. She is a normal, healthy woman now. She, too, was a 2 lber. When Krysten was in, the tiniest baby I have ever seen was brought in and put in the isolette next to her. She weighed 1 lb. Her little legs were way tinier than my pinky. She survived.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | She will fight! Babies are the biggest and greatest gift and she already won a battle by surviving past her delivery and through her first night.

| I will keep you new mom and the wee babe in my prayers Oh I sure hope goes well. God bless. I was 2 months early. I know they have so many new things they can do for permature births and she is over the two pound mark and that is good. Last edited by daisy mae06; 04-13-2007 at 07:06 AM. |

| Thank you all for your prayers. I know the Neo-Natal Centers work miracles, and I have good thoughts for Kirsten, but extra prayers never hurt. She has a long way to go and her parents live about an hour away from the hospital. They have nothing, including insurance, so it is very difficult for them. They don't even have a home - they are staying with a friend. I really appreciate your kind words and prayers.
