Hoping for better news soon ga. How hard for you to be so far away (((hugs)))

ga sending my hopes and prayers for your dgd, you must be a wreck

I'm very grateful for all your support and would love to be able to share some positive news, but so far the little one is still very poorly. I've heard lots of accounts of other people's experience of very premature babies and it seems as if our little one is following a typical pattern of small steps forwards and several steps back. It's just so hard when other babies are improving and going home and my granddaughter still seems to be having daily setbacks. Today baby had two episodes of turning blue after she choked and stopped breathing - and even as a trained nurse my daughter finds this terrifying.

Sending love and positive thoughts ga, as always! It's a scary time for all of you!

You are in my thoughts every day ga. Hopefully today is the day your DGD turns the corner.

Thank goodness for breathing monitors, ga. The feeling of panic and fear when this happens is something no parent can take in their stride. A friend of my DD has a baby at home who remains on the monitor and oxygen and the parents have become proficient at resuscitation, although it is needed less lately. I hope your little one gets through this quickly. Living with the extreme stress of these experiences is so hard on you all. More love and best wishes to you and yours

sending love and positive thought and thanks for keeping us updated ga

Thinking of you ga and glad to hear that your granddaughter is holding her own. I do hope she turns a corner very soon

Extract from latest email from my daughter:

'I hope to believe that baby has been slightly better this evening, after further scary choking episodes this morning I was ready to give up attempting to breastfeed, but was persuaded to keep going. She had her last spontaneous event at 0530 and nothing since so far, so hopefully that is the new medication making a difference.'

I'm celebrating every little advance and hoping that this time baby's improvement will be sustained.

Now, if only I can get my mother sorted. Aaargh!! [#witsend]

That's sounds hopeful. You've got a little fighter there.

ga you must be exhausted, fingers remain crossed for the tiny one and you x

Tiny steps in the right direction ga

Sending positive vibes for the baby,Ga and fellow feelings as far as your mum is concerned! Not the same problem but I'll join you at witsend! ,

A glimmer of hope, ga. It's so good of you to keep us up to date when you are so involved with your mother's situation too. Very much a 'sandwich generation' issue. Thinking of you all. x

Yes, tiny step in the right direction is a lovely way of putting it

so much love, prayers and positive thoughts being sent to your grand daughter, and her family

Glad you've had some better news, ga.

Thanks for the update ga. The more days she gets under her belt, the more likely she'll grow out of the choking episodes which should become few and far between as her breathing and swallowing reflexes mature and the infection goes. A little bit of progresss is such good news.

Every day your little granddaughter gets through is one more day closer to her "true birthday" and her little system will be growing stronger and more mature all the time. Every good wish to her family in NZ and to you , torn as you must be between the generations.
How is your mother doing?

Little steps grannya she's a little fighter
