We had a grand few days with DS and DDil. They were due to leave on Friday but left on Thursday. They are having an extension built and the builder needed to double check what he needed on Friday. As it happens, its a good job they left early!
The next day, we received a picture of DDiL hospital, who is 30 weeks pregnant, on a drip, receiving lots of medicine:(
The baby's heartbeat was messing around, she had stopped moving and wasn't growing as much as she should have been.
At 23:45 on Friday 3rd, our grand-daughter G. R. was born, 10 weeks early. One text said she weighed 2lb 3oz - but DS has just said he thinks she is 2lb 6oz or 2lb 9oz. Whatever it is, she is a reasonable size:
So far she is doing well, doesn't need oxygen. She has had a nasal tube inserted for feeding and a small tube in her leg for any medication.
How frightening for everyone - but she is here now and receiving great treatment. Congratulations on becoming grandparents!
ReplyDeleteThanks Margie, our first grandchild.
DeleteOh my goodness, what a tiny little scrap and how scary for you all. Hope she and Mum do well and get to go home soon.
ReplyDeleteI think baby has to be n for 5 weeks all being well.
DeleteA very worrying time but what a darling she is. Not needing oxygen is a really good sign though.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all.

ReplyDeleteHUGE CONGRATULATIONS BUT Oh my, what a shock - ten weeks early and so tiny, but so pleased to hear she is breathing on her own.Isn't it amazing how tiny little babies can survive and thrive now. Hope everything goes well in her time in hospital and your DiL is well too.
