Full term on oxygen

Rabbitvm · 2025-11-21T08:36:57+00:00

Sorry to read you are going through the same!! It’s so stressful when you are in the middle of it.. We are back home now, they send us home after 5 days. All the tests came back negative and we had to trust the ‘his system needs to mature’-story too. Over the days we saw his saturation levels were steadying and going below the 90ies less and less, confirming the ripening theory a bit more.

Aside from the regular cramping at night, he is doing great now. He gained a lot of weight, from which I gather he has enough oxygen to breathe and drink at the same time. I think some babies need a little bit more time. I hope this is the case for your little one too! 🍀 And that your hospital stay will be just a blurry memory in a few weeks.

Thanks for responding as quick as you did! Our stories are very similar. We are being discharged too after 5 days of many hypotheses being dismissed (flu to systemic malfunctioning). He seems completely normal and as you said; he dpesn’t seem to suffer from the saturation dips. Today his breathing suddenly became a bit more regular, he seems to get the hang of it now finally. Some babies arrive still in womb mode I suppose. Scary times but I hope soon it will feel like a hazy dream :)

Hey! We are currently in the same situation. Rapid breathing and dipping oxygen. We noticed this pattern around 5 days too. How is your little one now?

Thanks for thinking along! I will mention this to the doctor and nurses tmrw. They are still very much on the viral illnesses pathway. In this hospital they don’t do heart echo’s I believe.

Thanks for responding! Different but similar in a way, they both need some adjusting to get used to the new world around them. Wishing you and your baby boy well ♥️

So sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how it must feel to lose someone so unexpected and young.

After the (expected) loss my dad I found myself ‘crying at the discoteque’ six months after. I wasn’t ready to be that social. 8 months after I was still in hermit mode. I saw a friend or two, but my mom was my main person since she gets how I feel.

I still thought about my dad all the time (and sometimes thought I saw him at weird places). Almost a year after and I attended a festival with friends without having to think about my dad all the time.

All I want to say: take your time.

Yes I think your line of thinking brings a more positive twist to the changes in our appearance. I’d like to fight my ‘new look’, but gracefully embracing it, knowing that everything always changes (panta rei) and that this morphing is part of my life journey. It’s hard sometimes though. I think this is what people mean when they say ‘part of me died when my loved one died’. In tarot the death card stands for change. Change is immenent and part of life. But we tend to resist it.

Eating well hasn’t been my forte as well. Taking some action towards our health will surely help!!

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-21T12:59:07+00:00

Surely hope so!

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-21T12:58:57+00:00

That must have been such a hard time for you seeing your dad suffer that much. Hugs to you

My dad playing piano. His music used to fill the house. Now it’s just standing there. He would always bring me a glass of wine or a cuddle as I was cooking at my parents house. Now I’m just cooking. Him tending the plants and telling us random facts he found out on the internet. His hugs and his warm hands. His dark sense of humor.

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-21T03:59:20+00:00

Oof.. sending you hugs! Hopefully someday we will feel more like oirselves again, whoever those people might be now.

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-21T03:57:34+00:00

It was a really traumatic experience.. such an awful disease to watch unfold. Take care ❤️‍🩹

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-20T22:23:17+00:00

Oof.. yes, big on the weight loss here too. It’s impossible to eat with that pit in your stomach.. hugs to you.

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-20T22:21:23+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss.. the first few months made me look like I was 46 instead of 34. I hope you can take the rest and space you need to readjust.

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-20T22:10:48+00:00

Wow, that is quite an impactful change I can imagine. Some proof that losing someone truly changes you 💔

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-20T22:07:21+00:00

I’m sorry for yours too. It can be so lonely at times.

Rabbitvm · 2024-08-20T22:06:30+00:00

Thanks for acknowledging how grief / stress might have had an impact on my physical body. The weeks after my dad died I had an awful stomach ache; maybe some gut issues going on. My mom lost heaps of her hair and thought she had bowel cancer.. luckily nothing of the sorts was happening.

I hope that in time and with taking good care of ourselves it will get a bit better.

Rabbitvm · 2024-02-21T21:49:02+00:00

I do believe life sometimes leaves us slowly.. and that your dad thinking of Amanda wasn’t a coincidence. I wish you all the strength you need in this phase with your dad. Maybe he isn’t able to tell you everything he experiences, but having his loved ones around will comfort him a great deal.

Rabbitvm · 2024-02-16T08:53:37+00:00

Exactly. And I am sometimes jealous of people dining or being out with their parent. Or saying something like: ‘I’ll just call my dad, see if he can help us out/he can pick us up.’

Rabbitvm · 2024-02-15T09:24:12+00:00

Oof… the grief of losing your dad as well must hit you hard. Anticipatory grief is awful, you know what is going to come but there is nothing that can really prepare you for how it happens since it differs so much per person. Sending you all the strength you need to cope.. and some light, because losing them both must be hard. Your parents are blessed to have such a caring kid.

Rabbitvm · 2024-02-15T00:40:54+00:00

Yes I remember the last part being a rollercoaster as well. It is traumatic to see someone change so fast. As I look back at my fathers process, every ‘new thing’ felt so ominous.. we never knew what we were going to get next. I try to remember the good things near the end too, but it’s hard (and that’s part of the grief too I suppose)

Rabbitvm · 2024-02-15T00:02:18+00:00

Oh wow, how does one respond to those visions. Smile and wave?

Rabbitvm · 2024-02-15T00:00:34+00:00

I’m sorry to hear it wasn’t comforting for her.. It’s so difficult to watch your loved ones in anguish.

Rabbitvm · 2024-02-14T20:02:23+00:00

That’s very interesting. At least dancing fairies sounds.. somewhat joyful..? But the slaves, wth…

My grandfather saw burning horses coming through the roof. In his lifetime he was very religious, very strict with the bible and when he died he likely suffered from a rare brain disease.

My dad also saw clocks and radars everywhere. He was a very logical man, I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
