La la land. I'd imagine if the cpap keeps her airways open she wouldn't really need supplemental oxygen from a tank. Most people with OSA just do a cpap and few need actual oxygen supplies too. The cpap supplies pressure not really the oxygen. The pressure in itself should do the job if the alveolar parts of the lung are functioning, and I would assume they are.

Moving to a crib shows that she is able to maintain her body temperature which is just as critical to being able to go home. Obviously, you have to be able to breathe on your own as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the set back had to do with being taken out of the incubator and in the open air for a long time. I am sure that she will adjust and once she does, the CPAP will go away. I think that Rachel has a good chance of going home and if she continues to progress I wouldn't anticipate it being a whole lot longer. As for needing oxygen, that may be a reality depending upon how she does. Now Haley, that's a whole other story. She does not look good and keeps having issue after issue. She is just about a full term baby now and just doesn't look well. I am not sure Haley will ever make it home. If she does, I assume she is going to have a whole lot of medical issues in her future. Those poor babies.

Those poor babies. Amanda had claimed those kids were holding their body temps for awhile now so I really can't take all she states as the full facts as otherwise they wouldn't have been stuck in isolettes still. Usually if body temp isn't an issue you go to that other NICU "bed" so I bet they were only able to conserve their body temps for short periods of time. NCIU isn't and never was my forte but I did have to assist in the area where they kept the ready to release premies from time to time and I gather they aren't anywhere near to being put on a step down area yet. Rachel from Amanda's blog still sounds unstable enough I'm not sure what's going on. I just know from experience that going backwards on oxygen needs is never a good sign. I sort of fear the next blog post is that due to collapse of the aveoli that she has pneumonia.

I think it is her security blanket so to speak. She goes to town on it when she is angry or bothered. She has gained a little weight, she is now up to 5lbs 6oz. We continue to pray that her up coming eye exam on friday goes well and that they will not have to put her under anesthesia again just to check how the surgery worked. We continue to pray that her eye is doing better and that no more surgeries are necessary. I thought she is/was scheduled to have another abdominal surgery? So while the less surgeries the better, there is still more to come.

I don't know how you can go through all that she has gone through and be so relaxed/happy. No amount of faith can make this ordeal easy. She has to be on some sort of meds for the time being.

She has to be on some sort of meds for the time being. That's what I've been saying. Mommy's little helper is doing her good but she just continues to thank her God and as usual not mention the other help she's been given. It's like how she refers to herself as a parent, when she is a parent only by giving birth to them not because she is financially supporting them or caring for them full time. I think she's most likely is on an antidepressant and an anti-anxiety med. I think that's why we don't hear from Tom is because he has to man up and take this trip alone and the only way he is medicating himself it looks like is with extra servings of pie. I know if I was her doc I'd have convinced her to take something early on and let her justify it as her hormones needing help. Post partum helpers = antidepressants to most gyns in this day and age.

No surprise you're a pussy ghostdick Yuku and blogspot don't come into play here. You're crying copyright infringement of the Stansel's blog and this thread clearly falls under what is legally known as "Fair Use" of copyrighted material. I believe I picked this up in the journalism law classes required for my Journalism/Advertising degree rather than from my ass but I'll double check. And yes anything I put on a blog about my daughter (which my wife and I do have) is fair game...that's what happens when you put stuff out for public consumption. Although since it's not quite as controversial as the Stansel's and never been publicized in the mass media, I don't expect it is going to happen. Sorry to dissapoint you by not being a hypocrite. Wow, somebody nailed that reading comprehension deficiency! I was referencing the fact that you said obsessing over other people's choices was weird, yet you seem kind of obsessed with why people are choosing to follow and discuss this topic. (I just blew your mind there didn't I?)

Still in the NICU but is right at six pounds as of today. Still on the nasal cannula and they think she might be having some reflux so they are trying to confirm before doing any kind of treatment. But she is pretty much out of the woods as far as ROP is concerned so that's one less thing to worry about. OT started working on bottle feeding with her a few days ago and she took the whole thing in about 15 minutes today which is great. She is still about 10 days away from her due date so all things considered she is in a pretty good place. The hospital does brain MRIs at around 38 weeks gestation as a standard practice so she is on the list for that any day now. Since she never had any brain bleeds we're hoping it will come back normal.

How about you find that "fair act" you learned in that journalism law class, and show me where it says you can use a persons copywritten material in it's entirety (complete with photos) and copy it from one domain to another with no regard to the terms of service at either website. I'll wait

I have to say, as interested as I am in how the babies are progressing, i am tired of hearing about their poop updates. I am glad to see that Amanda looks relaxed. I have to give it to her, she has got her figure back. Couldn't be easy after carrying six kids.

Well, I imagine when they reattach the baby gut we will again hear about her "actions" or "no actions" . Poor kid. ETA: Did Amanda really get all that big since she delivered so early? Houstonguy, great news on your little one. Hope it continues to be smooth sailing.

Most people with OSA just do a cpap and few need actual oxygen supplies too. The cpap supplies pressure not really the oxygen. The pressure in itself should do the job if the alveolar parts of the lung are functioning, and I would assume they are. Two different beasts. Adults with sleep apnea have upper airway issues (not at all what I work with but that's my understanding) not so much the lung disease that premature babies may have. Nasal canulla can provide some flow and oxygen, CPAP provides much better flow to keep everything open, and oxygen. It's very, very common for babies to be receiving oxygen while on CPAP. I don't consider it a big deal that Rachel still has oxygen need at this stage, she could go home with that and wean off very slowly over time. I don't think it's necessarily a turn for the worse that she went back on CPAP, it's a big step to come off and some babies need a little transition phase where they go on and off for a bit. Time will tell. It's always a worry with these kids too when they start feeding by mouth that they will aspirate and get pneumonia. Baby steps. I love the big cribs, makes everything so much easier.
