I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll keep the little one in my thoughts. I was a meconium baby. Luckily though I turned out fine. They thought the worse on me as well, but I was born healthy.
Praying for the baby for healing and the parents for wisdom and good decision-making! I can't imagine having to make that decision myself... please keep us updated!
Hello everyone. Just an update...Not much of a change. Little One is still in a medically induced coma and the decision has been made to keep him here to see if his condition improves enough for him to travel. Right now the main concern is his blood pressure. From what my friend told me, her baby is maxed out on five different types of BP medication and cannot be given anything else...Right now we wait. No tests can be performed to determine just how long he was without oxygen until his blood pressure stabilizes and he can be brought out of the coma. It has been concluded that he ingested/aspirated a much higher amount of meconium than was previously thought. The situation is not looking good but we are all praying. If any baby has a fighting chance, he does. He was healthy and strong the whole pregnancy and was born at 9 1/2lbs and 22 inches long. He is our not-so-tiny fighter and we are still hoping for the best. We have spoken to some of the NICU nurses and they have told us of other babies overcoming worse so the the possibility is always there for improvement and recovery. Thank you everyone! My friend greatly appreciates your kind words, positive thoughts, and prayers.
Ladies, I want to personally thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes! What looked to be an extremely sad time for my friend has FINALLY turned to a happy time! Little Angel will be able to come home in a few weeks! It has been a long and scary road but, we have been receiving some great news. My friend's little man, has been weened off of all 5 blood pressure medications and is breathing on his own! She was able to hold him, for the first time, last week and it was a moment that she has been waiting for since his birth over Memorial Day weekend! Cannot begin to describe how blessed and happy we all are. Doctor's are predicting some brain damage, though it is not thought to be severe. (We can totally handle that and from what we are being told, with continued therapy, he will be a very happy, healthy little boy!) So many blessings! Thank you all for your prayers!
