Hi and Welcome to Share.
I am going to forward your story to a March of Dimes staff person, and they will get back to you.
I imagine you are very scared. I wish you the very best.
Warmly,

some feedback
hello there i know it can be scarry my little guy was born at 1 Lb and 14oz and has had some intestinal problems and has had 2 surgery's and he is doing well but he is still having problems digesting he really hasnt had a good boul movement and its been 2 weeks since he has had surgery and the doctors said he can not go home till he is eating and poopin on his own regularly he has been in the NICU for about 2 and a half months now and the time they are in there really just depends on our little one and his progress. they said he is supposed to go home on his original due date which is may 27th but if he is not eating properly or going to the bathrooom on his own he cant go home so we are just praying for him and hoping we see some movement with him so he can go home but it just really depends on our babys when they go home so just hang in there and be there for your baby as much as you can he needs you and he needs you to be strong for him too good luck to you and you are in our prayers =)
