Christina: Hello and welcome to Share! I'm so sorry to hear of the struggles that your little guy had been through, however, that's wonderful news he's off of the high flow nasal cannula and may even be trying to nipple feed Saturday! I hope that he does well and continues to gain weight and improve, I look forward to reading updates on your little fighter!

Thank you  we just had our monthly conference and the Dr. Told us that it will be another 6-7 week stay  the good thing is that our son will be protected from the flu while in the NICU. This Saturday completed 9 weeks in the NICU so we are more than half way there we can see the light. It still makes me sad because having to leave him there everyday is still hard for me. I always cry for my baby boy but never at the bedside soon I won't have to cry anymore.

Well you are right every baby is different. We celebrated our 1st bday last month in the NICU. Looking at a discharge date of Feb, 2011 which totals our NICU stay to about 14.5 months. Not too discourage you but you can do it! No matter how long, 1 day at a time. 1 foot down the hall at a time.

Congratulations on celebrating one year!! I'm sorry that this stay has been so long, but it sounds like you have a great mindset for staying strong through it all. I'll be praying for Feb. 2011 as the goal!! (or sooner!) Tracy

My little Evan was a 28 weeker and he was in the NICU for 73 days. He had a grade III IVH, apnea, 4 blood transfusions, 2 spinal taps, a hole in his heart which closed thank the lord, hernia repair, staph and pneumonia from his vent, feeding intolerance and a few other normal preemie baby things. I just started a blog to share my story and hopefully give others hope that are going through the same situation if you'd like to check it out. His picture now is on there too. I'd love for you all to follow me if you'd like.  )

If you start for the beginning, it tells his story.

Hello, My son was born 10 weeks early. He was in the NICU 9 weeks, home for 1 week and then rushed back in for surgery with another 10 day hospital stay. They all have their own path to follow. I hope yours is a healthy short one!! Good luck... Life in the NICU is a roller coaster that noboby wants to be on.. Tricia

My baby was in the NICU for 7 days. I felt like that was forever so I can only imagine what it's like for babies that must stay longer. But I am thankful for all the wonderful things the nurses helped do for our baby boy. He learned about tummy time, how to soothe himself with a pacifier, and was put on a wonderful sleep/feeding routine from the very first days of life.

My son was in the NICU for 21 days. He was born at 34 weeks due to me having preeclampsia and being dialated to 5 cm. The only issue he had was jaundice and learning how to eat from the bottle. Today he's almost 3 months old, weighs in at almost 11 pounds.
