I'm a Grandma now!!!

[Dream Lady]

Hi all.. I see you have busy chit chatting while I've been away. Some funny stuff this last week!!

Anyway, I've been on an adventure to California. Was able to be present and help in the birth of my first grandchild. Unfortunately there have been many complications. She was born the early morning of June 14th. Both granddaughter and mother have had a rough time. My daughter-in-law is doing great now and my granddaughter is improving everyday. The doc's are hoping she can go home in 7-10 days.

you can get a glipse of what she is going through. Persistant Pulmonary hypertension, pneumothoraces, air pockets under lungs, heart valve not closing properly are a few. But she is on the upswing now and doing well. By next Tuesday, they hope to have her un-sedated and off the venelator/resprirator and in the arms of her mom and dad.

Thanks for letting me share!
Cindy

Aw Cindy, life is never straightforward, is it?

My prayers are with you that everything turns out fine and she can go home soon. How lovely to be a Grandma though. Hopefully soon you'll be able to enjoy it without the worry.

Congratulations to your family - she looks a lovely baby even with all the added tubes etc!

Best regards,

Cindy, nice to see you back. If your granddaughter is anything like you she will pull through this and be the more stronger for it.

My daughter went through some heavy trials on birth but she made it just fine......

Best wishes to grandma, daughter and family.......

Re: I'm a Grandma now!!!

Thank you all for your warm thoughts, prayers and friendship. This is what I love about this Blue Voda forum in that people you have never met, are concerned and caring not only about website issues, but more importantly, Life issues. Thank you! It is amazing what medical technology can do these days. I have a lot of faith that she will pull through all of this and be stronger because of it.

I hope you all have a Wonderful Day!
Cindy

She is absolutely precious! And, in our prayerful wishes as well.

(A grandmother already? What??? From your picture, I've concluded that you got married when you were nine! )

Re: I'm a Grandma now!!!

Vasili: Wow...I knew I liked you! Thank you for the compliment...I needed that.

Thank you all so much for your thoughtfulness and prayers. Noa Anne is doing great! She is off the nitric oxide and off the Ventilator. The air tubes are coming out tomorrow and she will finally be able to be in her parents arms most likely tomorrow with an anticipated going home date of Saturday! I may have to make another trip in a few weeks, just so I can hold her to.
Thanks again, you are GREAT!!!
