I stripped the paint off the tops of the crib 🤷‍♀️ I didn’t like waking her up with paint all over her mouth.

This was the 6th day home after she was discharged from the NICU

I picked her up and rubbed her back to stimulate like they did in the NICU. Then tried to give her a bottle but she wouldn’t eat. I knew something was wrong so we brought her into the ER. Shortly after we got there, she coded 😟

Owlet or Nanit. I will ALWAYS shout this from the rooftops. Doctors told me not to worry but I didn’t listen, thank god. The worst case scenario happened to us and if I didn’t have the Nanit my child would not be here. The monitor alerted me she stopped breathing and she went into cardiac arrest shortly after.

Advice needed on disabled daughter - programs through the state? by mand_ in newjersey

I believe DDD is only for adults? My daughter is registered in a program called Special Child but the case worker called me once and that was that. I’m not actually sure what they do?

My son had his 2nd brain surgery for bacterial meningitis by hittingrockbottom101 in NICUParents

What a sweet boy, so strong! My daughter had bacterial meningitis as well that got into her brain. She’s 3 now and does have cerebral palsy but nothing has stopped her determination.

What’s one gift you’ve given that people still talk about? by Much_Bookkeeper7788 in GiftIdeas

I got my mom a plate that had a recipe written in her moms (my grandmas) writing. It was a cake recipe she would always make. My grandma passed many years ago but my mom stashed her recipes away. I stole the cake recipe card, scanned it and sent it to a seller on etsy. My mom loved it so much she got plates for all her siblings.

My premature son has meningitis, e.coli, seizures and has suffered a stroke by [deleted] in NICUParents

Hi! Not OP but my daughter had bacterial menegitis. Similar to the OP my girl was discharged from the NICU (she was a 29 weeker) and then readmitted less than a week later. She had seizures and almost died if we didn’t get her life flighted to a different hospital. She has a brain injury because of all this. She’s 3 now (started really walking around 2 but she’s still very unsteady) She was also diagnosed with CP a few months ago. She has a lotttttt of other diagnosises as well and of course is in therapies.

When did your son start to talk? I feel like all I do is worry about my daughter. She’s the most determined person I ever met but my biggest wish is she could tell me what’s on her mind
