I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

I think the hardest part will be the wait until Monday. I will pray for you that everything is okay and your fears are put to rest on Monday. It's really early so things could totally turn around by then. Just try and stay positive. Hugs.
