Baby Rocky - UPDATE IN OP. (Edited)

[hisno1girl]

Baby Rocky, who was born two months ago today, has had a major setback.

His mother hasn't released details but she said she is desperate for a miracle and it's all in God's hands now.

This breaks my heart. He's come so far!

Bust out those prayers and good thoughts please!!

Baby Rocky was born at 25W, weighing 12.7 oz. and measuring 9.75 inches long. He currently weights 3 lbs. 2.7 oz. And is fighting for his life.

Thank you.

(Sorry to post and run, but I'm swamped at work. I just wanted to give this update.)

UPDATE: I spoke with Baby Rocky's parents in church today and they said that he is no longer able to digest the breast milk so they are trying other nutrition via a feeding tube but he's also having major problems with that. They do not ever expect to take him off the vent. She also said that his brain isn't functioning because it's very soft and doesn't have any ripples. I don't know what that means but I didn't ask for details because it sounds very grave. They both had tears streaming down their faces as they spoke and my heart aches for them. The entire congregation gave them a special blessing and I told her I had friends all over the country praying for her sweet baby boy.

I wish I had better news.

I'll be praying. Preemie setbacks are very, very common, but that doesn't make them any more  less frightening. Life in the NICU can often feel like one step forward, and two steps back. I hope everything works out.

This.

We had a major setback with one of our daughters, thankfully, she pulled through. I will keep Rocky and his family in my thoughts and keep my fingers crossed he pulls through.

Oh no! Prayers for Rocky and his family. I hope he's doing well. He's a fighter. There's a reason you call him Rocky.
