"AlenasMom" wrote in message news Alena just spent a week in hospital because she stopped breathing. She kept stopping in the night while she slept and now she's having seizures and her heart's throwing PVCs. We're both tired and nervous, but glad to be home. Oh yeah. We also found out that her iron levels are really low and she's on an iron supplement now. Can we say EWWW. It makes her poop funny colours and REALLY smelly. I am so glad to be home -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending. OMG - that's awful and terrifying. ((((Hugs)))) It must feel good (albeit scary) to be home. Be well. Teri |

Get well soon Alena. -- Marie Mum of 3 DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03 They think part of it is her reflux and part of it is that she was premature and spent a week on a respirator. But we're not going to know until her EEG comes back from Sick Kids. |

Did they give her blood?when do you get some answers? Gosh I feel so bad for you....sending healthy vibes for Alena~~~~~ (((((Lina)))))) Alissa A PVC is a premature ventricular contraction. It's an extra beat in the heart. She still has the staring spells but she's never had a full shaking seizure (Thank the goddess!) They didn't give her blood, but she's on a REALLY high dose of Iron. (It made her poop black!) We'll get answers in a few days when her EEG comes back from Sick Kids. Until then it's a scary waiting game. |

I am so glad to be home Man...give the little one a hug for us. Did they figure out what was wrong, and is it able to be corrected (is there anything you can do?). Did they let you bf in the hospital? Hugs hugs hugs!!! -- 'Tis Herself They still have no clue but they had 9 babies with RSV coming in, plus they accidentally exposed her to RSV while we were there, and she was "stable" according to the nurses and the doctor, so they sent us home. We have no idea what's wrong. I stayed with her for the entire week to breastfeed. They kept pushing formula because that apparently helps reflux *cough* bull**** *cough*. For her reflux she's on Zantac and for the anemia she's on In Fer Sol. Until we know more, we can't do anything else. |

Amelia has severe pathological aneamia which causes her heart to beat fast and have a murmer so if you want to chat about your feelings and experiences feel free to email me. -- Andrea If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a horrible warning. They wouldn't send me home with one, but we're thinking of getting one in a store. They're really expensive, so we might have to wait a bit. I just wake up every half hour and panic because I realize that she's not beside me and there's nothing attached to her. It's freaky. That's the other crappy part. She has to sleep on a 45 degree angle and can't be in my bed. Thanks! I might take you up on that email part. |
