Hi
I had my twins at 29 weeks, they had a tough start, ventilated for 3 days, jaundice, heart murmurs breathing problems blood transfusions need i say more.
I thought they were doing ok and 2nd twin started to become poorly around january. Just after their 1st birthday twin2 stopped brathing, naturally i freaked out got him to hospital, they observed for the day ( we arrived at hospital 10.30am) at 4.30 docs said " we believe he has pnemonia need xray" eventually at 7pm they said thankfully it wasnt but he did have fluid on his left lung. he got home that night but it has taken even till no for it to clear- it aint totally cleared yet.
Twin1 is a strong lad and twin 2 was again at hospital clinic for check up on tuesday, as at last clinic they told me he was underweight. again they told me he is tall 72cm for his age but even so he is in the bottom 2% for his weight will monitor again in a few months. I am at my wits end, he does eat why not either put him back on premature baby milk or give him build up drinks?
On Tuesday they checked his hips as he is not walking and cant be flat footed(billy elliott eat your heart out, they said there could be a problem with his hips due to prematurity this is why he cant walk or be flat footed, i felt like if i had 1 baby they wouldnt cmpare but as its twins its very hard not too.
So the moral of my story i have to wait again till next clinic appt(july) to review him
HOW STRESSED AM I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I EVEN HAD TO START ANTI DEPRESSANTS AND FEEL I CANT COPE
as long as my boys are ok that is the main thing but is there any need to leave us so stressed this long?
