My daughter Shaylyn was born on july 3rd
and was fine until the doctors told my
wife Amanda that Shaylyn could not come
home on friday. Shaylyn has been in an
isolette since then, the doctors let her
out so we could fed her but other than
that she is in the isolette. the doctors
have ruled out an infection, she does have
jaundice and is a touch anemic due to my
wife having a c-section, all shaylyn's
vitals are fine other than she cannot
control her temperature and when she is
out and feeding she loses anywhere from .1
to 1 degree.Shaylyn is gaining weight from
6lbs 15.5 oz to 7lbs 4oz. Shaylyn would
lose more but we only keep her out of the
isolette for about 30 minutes or less. The
doctor's are miffed at what is wrong with
her.
Both
me and my wife are very concerned about
Shaylyn as any parent would be about their
child. Shaylyn was not premature and all
the doctors and nurses have told us not to
worry because they believe that it is
probably something very small but we are
anticipating the worst. we try to stay
positive and hopeful but it is getting so
hard and frustrating to see Shaylyn and
know we are helpless right now. The
doctors ran an ultrasound on her brain
today and everything came back negative.
The doctors have run blood work 3 times
and done 2 cultures which we are waiting
for the results from the second, the first
came back negative. If anyone has any
insight or knows anyone that this sort of
thing has happened to before please help
us out.
