she is a pre term baby, 7mos gestation. she underwent a surgical repair of a congenital anomaly called tracheo esophageal fistula 1 month after birth. she stayed in the neonatal icu for 2mos right after birth and she was in a ventalator for almost 2 months during that confinement.

Is she still there or is she home?
Im sorry to hear that but its true. When pre term babies are born, well, their lungs are not fully developed yet and this is almost expected.
But dont worry, she will catch up and get better as her lungs get older and better, and this will just be a memory which you will tell people about her "difficult" baby days.

We had the same problem with our twins. The best thing to do is to get some of those air purifiers and a Dyson vacuum cleaner. I know they are expensive but they help tremedously. As for the air purifiers get the ones with the hepa filter and change it every 6 months. vacuum everyday and change your a/c filter 2x a month. make sure you get the Filtrete ones they work the best for getting out allergens out of the air. On the issue of the Dyson they have several kinds we got the purple one it litterally will suck a golf ball through a garden hose you will be amazed what comes out of your carpet. Also don't use the carpet powder on your carpet if you need anything else feel free to email me
