My Little Miracle Jaden
My son was born on 9/9/09 at 25w1d, 1 lb 10 ozs, kicking and screaming. He is now 5lb 4ozs. This has been a roller coaster ride as you all know, hopefully he will be home soon as he is nippling every other feed but he will probably be sent home on oxygen. Any advice on how to handle this as I am so scared. Thanks.

There are lots of moms here on Share that have dealt with babies coming home on O2. Unfortunately, I am not one of them (or maybe fortunately, depending how you look at it). I'm sure someone with some experience will chime in soon!
Good Luck!

Re: My son was born at 26 weeks.....
Well, I am happy to give you a hopeful story.... On December 24th we celebrated my daughter 6th birthday. She was born at 25 2/7 weeks and is now a happy healthy kindergartner. Her teacher says she is very smart and such a sweet kid. She spent 93 days in the NICU before she was able to come home and did spend some time in physical and occupational therapy. But most people nowadays are shocked to hear how early she was born... you would never guess if you saw her today.
So don't lose hope, your story is quite capable of having a happy ending. And on those low days, please know that we will be here to give you a shoulder to lean on.
Hugs,
Jackie

Hi and Welcome to Share! My daughter was born at 29 weeks and is now 4 1/2 and on track in preschool. She spent sometime in speech therapy but now will not stop talking or singing. So don't lose hope. The NICU can be a roller coaster of good days and bad but I found taking each day one at a time was sometimes helpful. Be gentle with yourself. It is ok to cry and vent and this can be a good place for all of those things, if you feel comfortable.
We look forward to hearing all about your son.
Take care,
Ellen

Re: How long was your baby in NICU?
Hello ladykaykay and welcome to Share. Congratulations on the birth and homegoing of your son. Yes the NICU ride is a very scary one. My daughter was in there 122 days and was just taken off the ventilator at day 42. Your are right it is very scary having them home, but I promise you will get into the routine of things and although the fear will still be there, you will start to relax and enjoy baby more.
Congratulations again. I look forward to hearing more about your precious son.
Take good care,
Yolonda

My son was 17 weeks earlyand was bounced around from NICU to NICU in an out of state for 233 days....the less you focus on the discharge date the less stressful it will be....I know its difficult but just accepting where you are at that point will keep you more sane...I promise!...Thats the only way I found some sort of normality in the chaos

We were 9 days in the NICU at Brenner Childrens Hospital in Winston Salem, NC. He was born 7 weeks early, with CCAM, and I had to have a hysterectomy after him.
