Susan first days of life

Susan did not have an easy start in life. From the first moments had to fight for them with all my strength. When you first saw it, it lay in an incubator attached to a lot of tubes. Ventilator, pump the nutrient drip, another antibiotic, hose from heart rate monitor ... was a bit of that. For the first day, no one gave us a guarantee that Susan will live.

She lay so helpless, she had a thin skin, eyes still closed, which first opened in the 13th era, and I could only stare at her for a quick incubator.

Already at the age of 14 Susan had her first surgery (closure of ductus Botalla).

Passed day after day in the hospital, every day we were hoping we play, which came, we enjoyed the food from each milliliter and checked if still breathing through a respirator or may already own. At the age of 44 were able to breathe without a ventilator Susan :) . Then it was already getting better. For the first time I could hug his daughter, I could make the first attempts to feed from a bottle (the first portion was approximately 45ml), the first time, scrolls, etc.

Unfortunately, in this era of 73-we learned about retinopathy of prematurity (III degree), ie the growth of abnormal blood vessels within the retina, which can lead to detachment of the retina. The second surgery was needed in the short life of Susan, laser, by which retinopathy is withdrawn. After this procedure is an abomination przyplątała infection, by which apnea occurred and Susan had two days to be connected back to the ventilator.

Susan after the birth of intracranial bleeding was still fourth degree, which, thanks to drugs administered disappeared, but left behind hydrocephalus, initially inactive.

After 99 days of fighting, 24.01.2006r., Susan finally arrived home, she could finally sleep in their own bed. Then weighed 2900g :)
