Update part two:
The doctor just called and said there aren't any abnormalities at this point. Her eyes are still very premature, as expected and they're gonna follow up in a week.
Now, I get to be a nervous wreck again next week! Yay...
@abaua3 The pins help keep the CPAP in place. It looks scary, but it's just holding the rubber bands in place.
@mweaver1232 I will NOT be in the room during the exam. You are brave. As much as I would like to be there for her, I don't think they'd let me, nor do I think I could handle it. I'll be there to snuggle her close when it's all over! ???
Wonderful news!!! I'm not sure if you are there in her room with her all day or not, but I highly recommend NOT being in there when they do her eye exam. For some dumb reason, they let me stay and didnt really suggest that I step out. Its just something an already emotional mom shouldn't have to sit and watch. You are SO right though, its what they need and its the best thing for them...but I would step out and grab a bite to eat or something!
Good news though!! Try not to stress, mama...just focus your energy on loving her and recovery :)
