Here’s a refresh of the first version of her hospital experience if anyone’s curious...
Absolute GOLD.
‘My milk is turning blue because she’s so ill’
Yeah, that happens all the time. (It doesn’t)
I’m really glad to have seen the IV Vitamin C line in her own words. Proof if we ever needed it that she is full of
tit. We DO NOT use intravenous Vitamin C in neonatology. EVER. We certainly wouldn’t use a treatment not licensed for neonatal use at a parents request.
I’m not even that aware of it’s use in adult medicine, but I will do a literature search and speak to some adult medical colleagues, because that’s sparked my curiosity. My guess is that it’s something that is likely available in the alternative health market, which is why she’s aware of it. And in which case, it’s probably something best avoided.
Interested to see that Delilah had a blood transfusion. I mean, they are commonplace in NICUs because premature babies have a low circulating blood volume & become anaemic quickly- I’m just surprised that Liey *allowed* her to have one.
Other observation is that the very un-medical language she's using & the fact that she thought the ‘open duct’ was in Delilah’s lung (it would’ve been in her heart, sweetie. The ductus arteriosus) proves beyond reasonable doubt that she didn’t do a biomedical science degree.
Thanks Scandi!
