[tri-med] Re: Jessica update - I can dance!!!!

<<For anyone that
can help me out - her lungs are at 2200 - what does that mean?  He said
it was low and he was disappointed that she wasn't more developed, but
he said it could be because of the potential dighramatic hernia or just
that I'm only 36 weeks. >>

Faren was born at 37 wks(although was dx as a 33 weeker) and her lungs were 
not quite ready yet.  She was able to breath, but needed help.  She was on a 
venilator for a week, so I don't know if one more week is all she needed for 
them to be developed or if just being born forced them to develop.  So, it 
might just be that she(Jessica) is a typical t18er and needs a bit longer to 
develop those breathin sacs.


<<The best news of all this is that Jessica
withstood the contractions just fine, there was not distress,>>

Faren never showed distress during stress tests or during labor either.

MIchelle Wilson, mother to Faren and wife to RIck
