Bella Grace

Our little Bella has had a rough 1st three days of life. She was delivered via emergency c-section on 12/11 at 3:04am weighing in at a whopping 1lb 9 oz!
She continues on ventilator support as her wee lungs were not adequately developed. She has also had bleeding in the ventricles of the brain which has progressed over the last couple days. Now at grade 4 on both sides. We were & have been on an emotional roller coaster ride and have an increased faith that she will continue to fight to heal & get better!
Becky has also been struggling as we almost lost her in the OR. She received 5 units of blood & a lot if IV fluid to stay alive. She then stayed in ICU for 2days & now we've been on mother baby unit for our 2nd night. The care has been excellent! Becky received another blood transfusion today so now has received a total of 9 units. Tonight she developed a pain behind her left calf & knee that one would worry about a blood clot but WHEW the ultrasound/Doppler was negative. Now trying to get pain in control to get some rest! 12/14
