Fahry on Day 18

admin Avatar

Fahry is doing good. He’s gaining weight, as per last week, he was 1.26kg (it was taken on Wednesday), and this week (taken on Monday), 1.33kg. This is good! He’s slowly gaining more and more weight. If I can put it like this:

  • Birth = 1.19kg
  • Week I = 1.23kg
  • Week II = 1.26kg
  • Week III = 1.33kg

A preemie baby should gain in average 15g per day. Compared to the previous weigh, Fahry is actually gaining 70g in 5 days. It’s 14g per day. Good enough, huh. Hopefully he’s gaining more weigh this week, cos we’re constantly there, massaging him. Studies say that a massaged preemie will gain weigh faster and shortened their stay in the SCN/NICU. Hopefully it will work!

Fahry is not using oxygen tube anymore, and the oxygen level indicator is also disattached from his body. However, the nurses will check his oxygen level everyday, to ensure it is more than 90%. He looks a bit more comfortable with less tubes attached to his body. Now only feeding tube and the one from incubator to measure his body temperature. He maintains healthy body temperature of 36 something degree Celsius.

He is taking 30ml EBM per feeding via the feeding tube from his mouth down to his stomach. And with some additional vitamins and nutrients those a premature baby needs. It is in liquid form and fed after his normal feeding. His feeding time is still 3 hourly basis.

We go to the hospital 2 times a day, during lunch hour and after having dinner.

Usually we started with diaper changes, and sometimes incubator cleaning when Fahry ‘explodes’ his poo-poo to the wall of the incubator. Then we massage him using the Buds lotion to moisture his dry skin. Usually Abiy do the massaging while I am putting my hand on his forehead. Massaging a premature baby is different than a full term ones, for they have smaller size and more sensitive. A gentle, short massage is enough to make them happy. Usually we just do skin to skin and no stroking. I hope this will help Fahry to gain weight faster…

I had a very limited knowledge about premature baby and handling a premature baby. But, reading about it makes my heart break. Everything about premature baby is risking them. I just refer anything to mothers who have premature babies rather than to any reading material. It’s a physco when it tells, even nappy change risks your preemie baby to supply insufficient oxygen to their brain! Let’s pray… But Fahry is showing positive sign day by day, especially after I’m back to visit him.

    2-3 minggu memang selalunya premie dah on air. ada yang 1 minggu dah on air. bernafas sendiri sebab dia dah stabil. but still kena handle carefully sebab segala-galanya tentang premie adalah “tidak matang”.

    akak dulu tak risau sangat sebab memang dah ada sorang pakar premie kat rumah. my own sis. cuma yang membezakan kami. anak dia tak de complication, so bab tu tak dapeklah dia nak nolong. we’ve to go on our own.

    keep on massaging him. guna hujung 1 jari je, tak yah guna banyak jari. insyaAllah dia akan cepat besar.
