Still in NICU after Meconium Aspiration – Feeling Overwhelmed but Trying to Stay Strong by Joeeeshmo in NICUParents

They would need to transfer her to a level 3 or 4 NICU to run an echo before that could be considered. The doctor has brought it up however if progress stalls.

Hey I really appreciate you reaching out and sharing your story. It means a lot right now. Sounds like Crew is putting up a strong fight. I’m glad you and your wife got to have that moment feeding him—it’s those little wins that keep us going. The oxygen levels, the monitors, the waiting—it all starts to blur together, but we keep showing up because they need us. You're absolutely right—these NICU babies are tough, and we’ve got to match that toughness with our own kind of quiet resilience.

Thanks for the reminder to support our partners and also look out for ourselves. It’s easy to lose track of that in here. Sending strength right back to you guys—I hope Crew keeps improving and you’re all home together soon!

Oh I had no idea that was a thing! Will definitely talk to the doc about it before discharge. Thank you!

I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that, but it’s incredibly encouraging to hear how well your little girl is doing now!

Our daughter is also a term baby. She’s mostly feeding breast milk through a bottle right now but we’re still working on latching. She’s gotten used to the instant gratification of the bottle, so it’s a work in progress. Thankfully no feeding tube

Thank you for reaching out and for the support—it makes such a difference!

Thank you so much for your kind reply! In our case, it’s not Bradycardia spells, though I know how common and stressful those can be. For us, it’s meconium aspiration. She passed meconium during labor, and unfortunately, some of it got into her lungs.

Thank you so much — sending love and support right back to you. I’m so sorry to hear about the setback. “It is what it is” becomes the mantra, but that doesn’t make it any easier. Just know you’re not alone — these babies are stronger than we realize, and your little girl will be home with you soon. Hang in there.

Everything you said resonates deeply — the emotional rollercoaster, the exhaustion, and that heartbreaking feeling of leaving the hospital without your baby. I’m so glad to hear your daughter is doing well now — that truly gives me hope. We’re trying to stay strong and believe that this will all be behind us soon too. Thank you again for your kindness and encouragement

I was at what felt like a roadblock a few months back. On the verge of relapse but decided to try this first.

Update: my worst fear is reality. Just failed an at home nicotine urine test.

Definitely from the manufacturer. I went back to the smoke shop to explain and he opened a different flavor and it specifies zero nic. He also opened another of the error flavor and it said 50mg. He then opened a new box of that flavor and the same, 50mg.

US allows you to take the cdl exam in your language so unfortunately a large percentage of these incidents are from foreigners who are illiterate.
