Dear Steph,
This is Sam, Charlottes mom. I have read your latest posts and I just wish I could be there and talk to you face to face. I know EXACTLY what you are going through. I know what it is like to feel so guilty that you feel sick and that it is all your fault. After Charlotte was born I was desperate to feel her back in my belly, to feel her little moves. I couldnt accept what had happened. It took me weeks to come to terms with what had happened. It is not your fault, infact, remember you saved her life. If your body hadn't started to realise that you had an infection and started your labour then your little angel may not have survived at all. YOU SAVED HER LIFE! Please remember that.

Just give it some time. Be there for your little daughter and go with your feelings. Its amazing what can be done now for these little babies.

I send you a big HUG and wish I could be there in person to give it.


Lots of love
Sam

Well just a little update
THings are looking fairly good right now. Angels oxygen level is down to 30-40% and they are slowly going down on all her medication.
Her blood pressure meds have been dropped and her paralysing meds have been dropped. So they are slowly going to wean her off of all this stuff.
If her oxygen levels stay under 50% percent then they will switch her back to the other ventilator!!! But that's dependant on her co2 levels as well which look pretty good.
So today has been a good day for little Angel which makes me feel so relieved!!! That surgery helped her so much. She was really starting to get rough because of that open valve but now she's starting to improve and slowly stableize.
I had a feeling though that she would get better soon she's just such a trooper. And I make sure to go see her every day. I HAVE to see her I can't stay away I miss her too much. When I can start driving i'll be at that hospital at least a few hours a day.
I can see it already when she comes home. Im going to have severe seperation anxiety LOL she'll be in my arms 24/7
There's this really neat bear that I want to buy for her too I think I will get it next week. It's a little brown bear thats sooo soft and it has a heartbeat. You turn a switch and it has a human heartbeat sound. I think that will really help her! She's still supposed to be in the womb so maybe this little bear can help her and make her feel even more like she's in the womb.

Anyways thats all for now. I'll be back later

mickey

all the best for both of u

Is it this bear?
If it is, Bethanie has it and when she was newborn she loved it!!

By the way, I don't want to act as if I know what you're going through! but Bethanie was in special care for a week and I was an emotional wreck so I can't imagine how you're feeling. One day I walked in and she had a tube in her nose and I started to cry, it's so horrible to see your baby like that and in the incubator when you just want to cuddle them and make everything alright.

Im glad her surgery went well and hopefully she will recover quickly from it!!
