[quote=Anonymous]This is OP, thanks for the many thoughtful responses. The dr says my baby isn’t a preemie because he was born at 38 weeks, so she can’t treat his situation like he is a preemie and feels a bit uncertain how to proceed without more time. I asked if they would do any tests to try and identify the cause and she said no. It’s just monitoring, which I don’t find reassuring, because this incident happened on his fifth day in the NICU and there was no prior pattern, so if they monitor him again for just 48 hours then there is no reason they would likely catch this again. I wasn’t aware I could get a script for a hospital-grade monitor, so that’s very helpful to know! It’s just so scary to us. We really thought we were bringing our baby home today. I even made his pediatrician appt for tomorrow, which I will cancel first thing when I wake up. I received a text saying it was time for him to check in for his appt at the pediatrician and it just made me sad. [/quote]
