PREMATURE BIRTH, A GRANDAD'S STORY

22nd July 2006, The first 24hrs at Bury saw a quite restless Dilan, just as we thought she was settling she would struggle, particularly with her oxygen levels. By Early afternoon when we left the hospital things seemed okay, and you could tell that Jennie and Gareth were much happier with things, and planning an evening meal out together.Dilans breathing mask was taken off for some 40 minutes and she did really well, Unfortunately all this changed when Dilans levels dropped dramatically at around 18.30, so much so that the doctor was called and tests were done, nothing seemed to be showing but to be safe she had her oxygen put up in order for her not to have to work at all at breathing and after a while she settled to a safe level. The doctor believes Dilan is just totally wacked out after all the excitment of the day and have suggested she just needs TOTAL rest for 24 to 48 hrs, depending on how she does over night they may do more tests tomorrow. She has been put on extra nutrients and anti biotics to be on the safe side. So we will just have to keep our fingers crossed and wait for the next 24hrs.........
