Letters from around the world: need for Embrace in the US
Posted by christina
Hi Embrace,
Our grandson was born two weeks early on September 24, 2010. He and his mom were sent home September 26th despite the fact that they could not regulate his body temp for an extended period of time. Their insurance company has a nurse who visits the home of newborns the day after they are released. Luckily she was concerned enough about his temp and pulse that she asked the parents if she could stop by the next morning. When she arrived his pulse was 75 and his temp 95; his birth weight of 5.75 had dropped to 4.14. We believe if she had not been so attentive he would have died. He was taken to the Children’s Hospital emergeny room here in Aurora, CO and admitted to the NICU. He was put on oxygen and an electronic monitoring heat lamp. After tests showed no underlying cause other than the low weight he was sent home. His parents continue to struggle to keep his temp up but it is an up hill battle. Your product is an answer to our prayers if it is now available.
