This blog started off being about our emigration journey, but in life one's journey changes and I started writing about our journey when my wife had Hyperemesis Gravidarum during pregnancy.
Our little wee man was born, 7 weeks premature with an emergency C-section. We have a long road to walk before he is in the clear and he will be in NiCU for at least 5 weeks. This is a massive change to our lives, emotionally and financially.
Mommy saved our babies life, she new something is wrong and informed the midwife. She says God told her something is not right, thank you Lord for helping us.
We live 80km from the hospital but fortunately we have temporary accommodation near the hospital. We have no family in New Zealand either. With the HG journey I have used up all my sick leave and annual leave and have no paid leave left anymore. As we have a toddler as well, I need leave to support my family through this time.
We are trying to juggle and plan our next 7 week journey, but will need financial support if I were to take off to enable me to be with our baby, support mommy and be there for our toddler as well.
I would have loved to have more time to be with him and support my family more, but at this stage it is not possible.
I ask for prayers please. Our son needs all the help he can get and we as a family as well.
The nurses say skin to skin for him is very important, it helps with brain development and babies getting enough of this seem to do much better. We try and give him skin to skin as much as possible. That and prayer of course. Prayer helped us through HG, prayer will help us through this part of our life journey as well.
