Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I am still floating. Mom and baby are doing well. I had to come home so I haven't seen him in over 24 hours but mom said he is eating on his own and she got to feed and hold him last night. My brother is one proud papa. She is doing well and may get out Saturday. Bruce will be there at least two more weeks.

Congratulations!! I may be biased ;) , but I think preemies are the cutest babies. (My preemie is eighteen years old, 6' 4" tall, and 160 lbs.) He's leaving for college in the fall. I will keep your little guy in my prayers.

Hi

Congrats to all

My daughter and I will pray as well, as we do for all the mommies and babies at my work, I work with the newborns not as a nurse but a Tech, I love my job and see plenty of babies down in the NICU and at time we will get a 34 weeker, as long as he is eating, are the giving him extra cals to help him along with mom nursing. He will do just fine as long as nothing happens, infection wise, remember preemies are susseptal to getting the dredded RSV, but I'm sure mom will not let any body hold him when going home without washing up or who have colds.

Update: Bruce is doing fine. He has a feeding tube in his nose to help supplement bottle feedings. He lost several ouces but is now back up to 4 pounds 8 ounces. He is just so wonderful. Mom is doing well, she got out Saturday but is staying at a Ronald McDonald house until he gets out. My brother will stay with her this week and her step-daughter the next. By then Bruce should be able to come home. I've got to touch him through the isolette and talk to him. He opens his eyes and wil look around when daddy talks. Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts, and concerns.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
