hey...
one of my best friends had a baby on jan. 28 and was due april 13...and now she is at home almost five pounds heavier than what she was when she was born

little babies sure know how to fight...keep that in mind :-)

stephluvsangel6 · 04-13-2007, 10:58 AM

our prayer are with the little baby and family. i know it can be a tough time and tough times are what makes us stronger. i had 2 nieces born premmies and the mom had toxic shock both times and
the first was only ounces if i remeber and the second was 1 pound 2 ounces and they both lived, in fact the oldest is now 9 and she is mrs smarty mc smart smarts and the youngest just turned 1 in november. the only thing i noticed with the last one was she has been very behind in developemnt

she turned one in november and she still doesnt walk or talk and she just cries all the time. my twins were a week early and they didnt walk thought till they were like i think 13 months and the other was 13 1/2 months.

but prayers are coming your way and much love and dont let the fact of no insurance scare them or let the hospital scrae them because they can always go and apply for like medi cal if thats available where they live and medical will pay up to 3 months back on doctor bills

and second some hospitals around here are rude if they think you dotn have insurance and they will try to tell you they cant do this or that but technically they ahev to treat you whether your race, gender, and insured or not. so just keep having faith and prayers. she will be just fine and her weight isnt bad either so she will be fine

just keep us updated please

We will certainly keep little Kirsten in our prayers! Please tell her Mommy we are praying for all of them .... I can only imagine how they must feel.

RoxyJosMom · 04-14-2007, 06:42 PM

Thank you all again for the prayers. Kirsten is in an isolette, not in the critical care part. So that's a good sign. I know premies are fighters, and I feel good about her, but I know how hard it is whey your baby is so far away and it's so hard to get to see her every day. The Dr. told them she would probably be there 3 months. They have a small child at home already. So it's that much harder for them. But I have faith in all the prayers that have been sent to her.

Babies are great fighters we will keep them in our prayers

I will pray for little Kristin! Bless her sweet little heart! I've heard of so many miracles when these tiny preemies are born and go on to live a normal life!

Sending up prayers for little Kristen and her family and sending tons of hugs your way

.

My oldest was born at 32 weeks -- 25 years ago. I know what you mean about the little ones being fighters. I liked the "they don't know how to quit" description. It certainly fits.

Please continue to give us updates. When appropriate, I would really love to see pics of little Kristen!

Mommy of Brandi · 04-15-2007, 02:14 PM

If it helps at all I work for a child developmental disabilities center and we see ex premies that were born at grams and are fine.....the wonders of modern technology are incredible.....my only recommendation once the baby comes home is have her evaluated by an early intervention agency....that way she can get any services she might need at that point to bring her up to par........sending lots of good wishes, hopes and prayers

any questions please feel free to PM me......(I'm not a doctor or clinician though)

Buddy-licious · 04-15-2007, 02:27 PM

The power of prayer is amazing!!!! There are so many great people on YT....so you did the right thing by asking people to pray for little Kristen. I will be praying for her, the doctors & nurses caring for her and the family!!

Keep us posted!!!

RoxyJosMom · 04-16-2007, 07:40 AM

Update on Kirsten: She is doing better. No chest tubes - just feeding tube, tummy tube. She can have visitors, too. So, now it's just a matter of time. Her Daddy just started a new job today. Thank you, again, for all your prayers
