In the Neonatal Department of the Second Hospital of Shandong University, Xiao Dandan, who had just finished drinking milk, stretched himself and fell asleep, grinning from time to time in his sleep. This smile, like an angel, soothes the hearts of medical staff.
100 day, under the careful watering of medical staff, the crystal fragile premature baby born at 23+4 weeks grew up tenaciously. On April 28th, she will return to her warm home in the arms of her parents and start a beautiful life.
According to reports, Xiao Dandan, who was only 450 grams at birth, has also become the lightest and youngest newborn in Shandong.
23+4 weeks "broken shell", weighing only 450g g.
A year ago, Ms. Wang (pseudonym) of Weihai was pregnant with Xiao Dandan and planted the seeds of hope with longing. Because Ms. Wang has been married for many years, she was pregnant five times, and the first four times ended in abortion. When I was pregnant for 3 months, I had a cervical cerclage. The couple put all their hopes on this new life. For them, if there is only one kind of beauty left in this world, it must be brought by children.
Before waiting for the joy of new life, Ms. Wang, who was pregnant for 23 weeks, had a premature rupture of membranes, used drugs to promote lung development and prevent brain damage, and was urgently transferred to the Second Hospital of Shanda by ambulance after three days of miscarriage protection. In 23+4 weeks, their "princess" Xiao Dandan was born. The newborn little Dandan has a serious intrauterine infection, weighing only 450 grams, and his skin is as thin as cicada's wings and he is blue all over. His whole body is not as big as an adult's palm, his breathing is weak and he is slightly suffocated. The use of pulmonary surfactant in delivery room first aid, heat preservation, resuscitation, transport, neonatal team treatment and intensive care are all linked. Every movement of the medical staff is softer and firmer than before. Zhu Xiaobo, deputy director of the department of neonatology, said that premature babies are precious and the future of the whole family, and need more gentle care.
Keep fighting and save the world.
Without his mother's body, Xiao Dandan needs to face the world alone. But she is too weak, her organs are immature, and she can't even breathe on her own. As a result, a life struggle is quietly carried out in a small incubator.
If the skin doesn't grow well and there are no blood vessels, use umbilical cord to establish venous and arterial catheters, and continuously monitor blood pressure while continuously infusing nutrients to prevent brain damage caused by hypotension; If you can't breathe spontaneously, you can rely on the ventilator to inhale and exhale again and again, and keep communicating with the world.
After leaving the hospital, Ms. Wang rented a house near the hospital and squeezed desperately when she had milk. She firmly believes that children must grow up desperately. A week after birth, Xiao Dandan finally "ate" breast milk with the help of medical staff. Before her gastrointestinal tract was mature, the nurse pumped breast milk into her stomach tube drop by drop, carefully and carefully, feeding it six times a day.
2 1 day later, Xiao Dandan pulled out the ventilator for the first time. It's a little hard to watch her breathe, which makes everyone's hanging hearts a little relieved. 10 days later, in order to breathe, Xiao Dandan seems to have exhausted his strength and can only go to the ventilator again. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the plane took longer and longer, and Little Dandan's strength grew stronger every day.
Xiao Dandan survived two infections and pneumonia. Because of premature retinopathy, the doctor also injected drugs into the vitreous cavity of her eye. Fortunately, I saved the day every time. In this way, she stubbornly crossed the "breathing pass", "feeding pass" and "infection pass", took off the ventilator and realized self-inhalation. She has to eat 12 times a day to get full, and her body gets taller and fatter day by day. Now, she is white and fat, and her eyes will blink. She's cute. In order to welcome Xiao Dandan home, his father cleaned and disinfected the house early, and his mother also learned nursing methods from the newborn nurse. But every once in a while after discharge, Xiao Dandan still needs to go back to the hospital to check his eyes.
100 day, a long wait. Today's Xiao Dandan has a corrected gestational age of 37+5 weeks and weighs 2600 grams. For her, the door to the new world is slowly opening.
May all newborns be full of strength,
May all newborns be protected by love!
