Today was supposed to be the day Delilah came home, we were all set. Signed all the discharge papers, met with the equipment people for the oxygen and monitor, had Delilah all dressed in her coming home outfit, Rick was pulling the car around and had Delilah buckled into the car seat. I was sitting there talking to my nurse and Dr.Martin when we all noticed Delilah was looking a funny color then the heart monitor went off. I am telling you that was the worst sound ever! I can deal with the monitors in the NICU but this was so freaking loud.
was her coming home outfit, she'll get another one for tomorrow.
So Dr.Martin grabbed her out of her seat and said “that’s it I’m canceling discharge” I was a wreck anyways and happy they canceled discharge. Once we got her all situated back in her bed and I think I was calmed down (I was still shacking) Dr.Pompati came in and asked what had happened said he thought she would need a blood transfusion, came back 5minutes later and said yup blood is on its way.
They say she should come home tomorrow but to be honest right now I am terrified and would be ok if she stayed in there a few more weeks. Don’t get me wrong I want my baby girl home with us but I am scared now!
Daddy and Delilah after we got her hooked back up in the hospital.
So praying Delilah’s lungs do better.
Gosh I can't imagine! Prayers going up for her (and you guys too!)!
