Aliyah(32weeks) and Anthony(28 weeks)
Mayra A - 06:13am Nov 3, 2011 EST
5 yrs later after having Aliyah at 32 weeks I'm back in the NICU with Anthony born Oct 19 at 28weeks. It's a bit harder this time because he came wayyyy earlier and needs more care. Aliyah was fine within 2 days off all the tubes and within 3 weeks went home Thank God. Anthony has bleeding in his brain stage 2 and when they gave me the news my heart broke into tiny pieces. I am afraid of what's next. I hate to leav him everyday. I feel soooo empty when I leave the NICU. I know he has the care he needs but I still worry. Aliyah grew up with no problems and is doing amazingly good in school. With Anthony I read a lot on Premature babies and some stories scare me to death. I don't sleep well at night and I just think " oh what if he has this or what if he develops that" it's very nerve wrecking and scary!! I get knots in my throat when I go visit n see him like that. On the 16 he will get an ROP checkup I pray the Lord for good news.
