Grade 3 Hemorrhage
Hi, everyone. I just found this sub and decided to post because I feel so lost right now.
My son was born at 34 weeks exactly. It was an induction due to the possibility of infection.
He was sent to the NICU and he was going relatively well for a time. Besides some struggles eating (he still has a feeding tube) he's been thriving. However, today we were informed that he has a Grade 3 Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage. The doctor laid out everything, with all of the potential complications and deficits our son could experience.
We're devastated. I can't help but feel I did something wrong. Our little boy is so new. I feel emotionally distant from my (wonderful) husband, because we're both hurting but I'd rather him not worry about me and focus only on himself and our son. Everything looks so bleak. I know that our boy could very well end up having no issues from this bleed, but I can't help but see all the negatives and the kind of future they could hold.
Any positive stories/experiences would be helpful. Thank you all.
