When Evan was born (32 weeks), he didn't need oxygen at first either. Then he needed blow by, then nasal cannula, then CPAP. Our NICU nurses said it wasn't uncommon to need some O2/breathing help on the third day. I guess they lose the energy reserve they had from birth and just get tired. I'm sure not having to work so hard to breathe will help him gain weight.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Sarah S.skeybunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441464374073395035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16325837.post-82503286052012658122008-07-30T18:15:00.000-07:002008-07-30T18:15:00.000-07:00Liz,I had wished and hoped for such an easier time...Liz,<BR/><BR/>I had wished and hoped for such an easier time for you... I was talking with another fellow blogger just the other day about you and we both agreed you deserved a break...<BR/><BR/>Please remember that you are doing everything good for your children, and its a tough road, but when your children are older, they will understand the struggles and heartache and worries and how much you love them for everything you have gone thru to have them here.<BR/><BR/>From our experience, we were only in the NICU part of the hospital for a couple of days and then moved to the feeder/grower section (special care nursery) and in the SCN, you can be assured you wouldn't be there if Quinn wasn't well on his way. :-) (I had to get that reassurance many many times.)<BR/><BR/>Grow Quinn Grow :-)<BR/><BR/>K&PKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499823088655188550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16325837.post-88144876405335393462008-07-30T17:08:00.000-07:002008-07-30T17:08:00.000-07:00Liz, I know that you probably hate it when people ...Liz, I know that you probably hate it when people say things like "you are so strong" or "how do you do it?" <BR/><BR/> But, really. Your spirit is amazing. You are such a fine example of just putting one foot in front of the other and getting through hard times. I'm aware that you "complain" -- I"m not talking about that. The fact that you just keep on keepin' on...that you found the time to write a long post for all us when you obviously have other major concerns -- well, it's just amazing. <BR/><BR/>When I first looked at the album of your twins births, the images haunted me for some time. The agony in your face, as well as your husband's was so hard to behold. And the fact that the woman (and man) in those pictures is still standing and thriving, and raising a child (two now) is just a miracle! What strength of spirit you have. <BR/><BR/>Prayers to you and your family. <BR/><BR/>Vicki<BR/>(long-time lurker)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16325837.post-38305708701666143002008-07-30T16:15:00.000-07:002008-07-30T16:15:00.000-07:00Liz,I've never commented before (that I can rememb...Liz,<BR/><BR/>I've never commented before (that I can remember). However, I wanted to take a moment to encourage you and congratulate you on the birth of Quinn. He is absolutely adorable!<BR/><BR/>If, anytime at all, you want to talk please email me. I left the hospital 3 times leaving a baby in the NICU. It just plain sucks. I'm so sorry that you have to go through it.<BR/><BR/>Much prayers and wishes for a happy homecoming.<BR/><BR/>Jaymie<BR/>jaymie_g@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16325837.post-71573596379922668042008-07-30T13:12:00.000-07:002008-07-30T13:12:00.000-07:00Liz,Congrats on your new baby boy!
