Have no fear, my little one

Went to the Neonatal unit ytd, and to sum it up in a word- incredible.

The smallest sweet little baby was <5kg. We saw twins (25 weeks), a baby with necrotic bowel (NEC) that could not be resected and pitting oedema everywhere with shiny and some abdominal gangrene, another preemie and another wrinkly preemie and a few other preemies. They are tiny- the ribs can be counted. They struggle to breathe with their accessory muscles and are on oxygen. Some thrash about and wave their little 1mm wide fingers. One cried. Their diapers are about 6 sizes too big. There is a constant though variable beeping coming from the preemies' machines. Every detail from ventilation to breathing to blood gases, temperature, pH is looked after.

Except I was sick and had to wear a mask and it irritated my eyes. But still ((:

The next time we're going to ED and Paeds Onco (my suggestion) (:
