It is already the 19th day of baby Lawrence in the NICU. They have inserted a peripherally inserted central catheter, which is a form of intraveneous access, that can be used for a long period of time. They also did a cranial scan where they discovered a grade 1 hemorrage but with signs of healing. Aspirates, the liquid substance which accumulates in the mouth due to infection, has lessened after they gave him antibiotics.

Last Sept.16, when I woke up at around 6:30am, we received an sms informing us that baby Lawrence needed a blood transfusion and that the doctor would explain everything when we got to the hospital. We were worried so we rushed there. The doctor then explained that the red blood cells of baby Lawrence went down a bit although it was still in the normal range. She further explained that even though it was expected, they want to do the blood transfusion as a precaution.

Baby Lawrence still needs to stay in the NICU for some more weeks and he needs to be at least 2kilos before they release him. His weight now is only 1.06 kilos.

We are reaching out to you for financial assistance as the bills are piling up. Please help share this post.

Thank you so much.
