Hello, my name is REA, mi son is 2 1/2 , he had a surgery at 4 days old and has
been on the vent and oxygen since. The most important that you have to remember
is that everything grows big with love. You have to love your child more than
ever; he needs you. he needs to hear your voice telling him that you love him
and that he is strong boy you will take care of him.

On the other hand, you need to learn everything related with the vent and the
tracheotomy. what to do in an emergency and the Ambu bag, that will make the
difference. If you have to go out with him,take an spare of everything never
forget your spare trach. organize yourself make a list of Dr. medications
schedule, emergency list, emergency procedures. organize his room so you and the
caregivers can locate what is needed soon.

Every person that will help you with the care should know CPR, and emergency
procedures .Also the regular care procedures.

Been confindent of what are you doing will give you peace of mind. Take care
of yourself take a rest everytime you can and you will be succesful.

God is god

I'm a new mommy and I had no idea having a premie would be so hard. My
son does have BPD, high blood pressure, rickets, and a few others.
He'll be coming home on a vent and I just need to talk to other mothers
who have children with the same things going on. Help!
