Dong dong dong
Is the o2 high or low
Ding ding ding ding
Oh crap the heart rate is falling
Child, dear, keep breathing
Quick shallow breaths
Lead to slower, deeper breaths
The alarms stop
Silence. It’s dreadful
But better than the alarms
Alarms cause stress. Anxiety.
Is this it?
Dong. Dong. Dong.
The nurse never comes.
Ding ding ding ding
A nurse is there quicker than quick.
Pressure without oxygen?
Oxygen without extra pressure?
What is right to fix these lungs?
How do we know what the right balance is?
Dong. Dong. Dong.
My heart beats a little faster.
Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding.
My heart plummets.
She’s doing okay they say.
She looks good, they say.
She read the premie text book, they say.
She just needs time.
