We were honoured to have Doreen share with us her journey with Davien's 4 mth stay in NICU. Davien was so cute, he was born a 26 week-er at only abt 600g, he had all the problems and issues of an immature baby but his mummy persisted and took very very good care of him and now he is as normal as any other kids. I admire Doreen's persistence and courage and love for her son.
She shared with us how important it is to not give up and how hard it was for her to pick up the phone when the hospital called in the middle of the night, she actually dreaded those phonecalls and wanted to throw her phone into the toilet bowl. I can understand how she must have felt at that point in time. But Davien has been such a strong boy and he is doing his mummy proud. Although he is going for another ops in 2 weeks time, his mummy is confident that Davien will be ok.
I thought about it, Reyes did not have that much problems compared to Davien. Is he considered lucky? It suddenly occur to me that every single preemies there in NICU are fighters, fighting for their survival.
When I reached into the incubator yesterday to touch Reyes and talked to him, he opened his eyes almost immediately. His weight as of yesterday is 1185g, finally reached his birth weight. He looks pretty good too. I'm praying that his PDA will close soon so he dun have to go surgery for that. Praying...
he will be soon discharged..and i will be there to share the joyous moment of his full month celebration!
