Re:help-possible premature baby

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My son was born at 33 weeks and only weighed 3lbs 8oz. He was

casted 3 days after he was born and each week until he left the

hospital. He went a seen Dr. Dobbs at St.Louis Children's Hospital

and he said that he wanted to wait until he weighed at least 8lbs.

So at our next visit we went to St. Louis Shriners Hospital in which

Dr. Dobbs goes there. was born on 9-27-03. His last set of

casts were 10-21-03 until Dr. Dobbs decided to cast him 01-15-04.

Then he had his tenotomy on 03-08-04. His DBB started 04-01-04 for

23hrs/day. Now on 07-15-04 he is at 12hrs/day. I delivered early

due to going into pre-eclampsia really quickly. There was no time

for bedrest with this pregnancy. My first one was born 6 weeks early.

Christi and BCF 9-27-03 DBB 12hrs/day
