Hello Ladies

Claire- how is Indigo? Any news on when you guys get to go home? Claire- about Tanz's sister. Her baby was born tiny and found out he had a growth on his brain. They operated but had to stitch up because he started bleeding too much. Unfortunatley Juan passed away today. So its very sad.

Pikkewyn- ek hoop julle kan vandag huis toe gaan.

Tanz- met baie trane se ek sterkte vir jou en jou familie. Mag die Here julle almal krag gee om hier deur te kom. Ek kan nie help om te dink terwyl almal die nuwe jaar vuur is daar 'n gesin wat deur so moelike tyd gaan. Wanneer so iets gebeur vra ons altyd "hoekom"? Maar ek weet dis moelik, maar ek glo dinge gebeur met 'n doel. Ons kan dalk nie nou daai doel sien nie maar met tyd sal ons dit sien.

AFU- I took Michael to be weighed on Wednesday. He now weighs 5.6kg. Cant believe how he is growing. Taking him for his injections on the 3rd again. Poor sausage.

Tanz,we are praying for little Juan.

Deja, jou kiddies is gorgeous.

Claire, hope Colby and Indigo get better soon it's awfull to have 2 sick kids

Ons is nogsteeds in die hospitaal,kan hopelik more huistoe gaan. Baba is nou op n nuwe formula ook,sover gaan dit okay,ek borsvoed nog waneer ek mag,wens net ekt meer melk gehad

Hugs

Hi ladies just another update from Tanz.....Dankie vir almal se gebede! Klein Juan se niertjies het gaan staan en sy pupille reageer glad nie meer op lig nie! Dokters se hy sal waarskynlik nie die dag maak nie! Bid asb vir sy Mamma en Pappa vir troos enm genesing van hulle hartjies! Dankie

Dr se hulle het nou alles gedoen wat hulle kon, al die meds gegee wat hulle kon. Al oorleef hy dit nou, sal hy verewig met 'n katetertjie moet loop en met pypies na sy maag toe moet eet. Die skade is permanent. Ons wag nou maar basies vir sy hartjie om in te gee. Gewas is agressief en ver gevorder. Wat beteken dit was al in die baarmoeder gevorm, dis dalk die rede vir die klein gewiggie met geboorte...

Hi all,

Lindy - you can find it at Dischem or go to the website www.respisense.com and order it from there. It's a south african company so it should be quite quick. We are getting the snuza one, because none of the dischems by us stock the respisense and the dr won't send Indi home without one. The snuza works exactly the same though, you can check it out at www.snuza.com

Deja - I must still breastfeed and I am staying with her. It's heartbreaking because Colby is also sick and I can't be with him. He hasn't slept at all because I'm not there. My heart is breaking. There is no cure for this. They just manage the symptoms. She'll be on an asthma pump and other meds for the next 3 months. She's at risk of developing pneumonia. So it is very serious.

Please can someone translate what's happening with Tanz sisters baby...my afrikaans skills are seriously failing me!He looks so helpless...I really hope he'll be ok!

Update on Indigo - The test results came back and it is definitely whooping cough. The dr has put her onto the treatment she'll receive at home and will observe over night to see how she copes. So we might be going home tomorrow if she doesn't backslide. She is doing so well at the moment. Last night she only had one coughing fit...the rest of the coughs were not too bad. My DH is now getting sick so he's off to the dr to get the antibiotics to stop it from being contagious. Basically my whole family is going to cough for 3 months! I feel so bad too because so many people came to see us and now they are all at risk!!! Really hoping no one else catches this...it is horrible!

Hello Ladies

Sjoe Claire, thats terrible about the whooping cough. Really hope you all get better real quick. It sends my bp high up when doctors dont pay attention to symptoms.

Lindy- I agree the respisense snuza is worth it and the angelcare breathing monitor is awesome. We have both. What you can also do if you really want extra care, ask the hospital if they would mind renting you one of their monitors. My one friends baby was born at 32 weeks and they gladly borrowed her one of their monitors. Because most babies outgrow the apnea by 2-3months. Michael outgrew it quite quick.

Elrike- Edrich word nou regtig oulik. Kan nie glo tyd vlieg so nie. En ek hoop jy kan een van die dae sy glimlaggie vang op die kamera

Tanz- ek glo vas die Here gaan vir Juan gesond maak. Ek en my man bid gereeld vir hom. Ek kan net indink hoe jou sussie moet voel. Dis glad nie lekker om 'n kind in die hospitaal te he nie.
Hier is die fotos wat jy vir my gestuur het :
