Micro preemie
Hi y'all, my name is Henny and this is baby Zohar, I just wanted to introduce ourselves
She was born December 23rd at 23weeks weighing just 1lb 3oz, after I went into spontaneous labor, I started bleeding on a Wednesday night, went to the emergency room and wasn't checked in or checked out for 3+ hours, just waiting in the waiting room. Apparently they didn't have any beds (they should have sent me to another hospital ik) being tired and looking at Dr. Google I decided to go back home and get some rest and then go see the doctor in the morning. That didn't happen as and hour or two after we got home contractions started, they were lasting 30-60secs each about 2min apart, I woke up my so and told him to call 911, less then an hour later, she came flying out of me. I tried to warn the doctors though they didn't believe me and wanted me to wait for the ultrasound 🙄 She cried and held my hand, before she was wisked away to be prepped for transfer to a hospital with a more specialized NICU.
She is almost a month now and slowly gaining weight, she weighs 1lb 5oz now. She started feeds through a tube last Wednesday, and she loved it lol, she's doing good so they bumped her from 1ml every 6hrs to 5ml. She has grade 2+3 brain bleeds and seizures, her blood pressure and blood sugar depend on the day, but other then that she is stable.
Edit: baby girl is still here fighting against all odds, after multiple scares, and even the doctors loosing hope, she is living up to her name (which means a brilliant and noble strength of purpose) she is truelly a little miracle, and nothing less, I finally got to hold her at almost 2 1/2 months, and it was so emotional, she is now almost 4 and a half pounds, and is now at p1 diapers, (although a little big on her) she also started wearing clothes last week 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 and got extubated to CPAP and allready went down to peep 6💃💃, she just had eye injections for AP-ROP and is recovering and baby girl has been seizure free for almost a month🎉🎉. This mama is so proud of this little girl, who's allready the strongest person Ive ever known and will probably ever know. She is now 38 weeks ga, 3 1/2 months actual.
