Dear all, we had another bad phase, Tiny Shida had an intestinal blockage last week his little body filled with air and swelled up so badly that he had trouble breathing. I didn't want to share the bad news but this is the nature of premature babies, thibgs happen quickly and unpredictably. In my grief and frustration i'm ashamed to say I pounded on a steel locker & dented it in, so helpless did I feel. The doctors couldn't determine the cause, that is scary to hear.
Anyway, once again the little fellow resolved it himself, with a lot of support. While no one was looking and on entral feeding he gained weight, topping the 1600 gramme mark. Last two days we've seen a rapid transformation, much less looking like a bird which fell out of its nest, and more like a proper baby. He's smart as well as strong, wants his breathing tube out & knows how to do it, had to be fully packed in twice now to stop him and he still looks like he was trying to find a solution to the problem.
We no longer plan ahead, learned to very much live in the moment. On this moment all is well.
