It's a midway step between a ventilator and breathing on their own.


Gabby, lots of *Get Strong Soon vibes* to little Jack (or should that be tiny porker Jack?)

Congrats Gabby, so excited he is a good weight, I hope that means he won't have to be in the hospital too long. Hope you are doing well.

hey ladies. Thank you ALL for your lovely comments!!!

I dont have much time to reply but i just wanted to give a quit update.

jack is stable at the moment. He's on cpap with 38% oxygen and i'm not allowed to hold him yet and I've only gotten to touch his leg once.

They are just giving him antibotics and fluids b/c of the PPROM. He is not allowed any food at this point b/c of his respirtory status. All they want him to do is breathe better and then they will start tube feeding.

He still is having stomach retractions and doing lots of grunting...so he's not great but he's stable!

I had went in into the hospital b/c of contractions and we found out that my bag of waters has been leaking and i was contracting. he was also having declerations so i went to the OR right away.

he's really big due to the gestational diabetes so yes he's big but not healthy big. they said that he really should only be around 4lbs.

At this point they say the shortest stay will be 2weeks at the least for him.

Thank you all again. I'm doing good...just low blood pressure and want to hold my baby!! and i miss my boys terribly! Hopefully they'll be up later.

HUGS

Awww Gabs, I'm sure he's going to be a little fighter like his Mummy. Look forward to seeing the pictures and I'm sure you'll get to hold him soon. Much love to you honey missing you on here
