Mikaere update 7/5
7 May 2025
Hi whanau,
I’m not sure if I mentioned but I closed the page at $966 as we had private donations that exceeded our goal and still continue to receive donations these are with his own bank account & can only be enquired or withdrawn from the bank with good reason (medical needs for Mikaere & whanau).
We also have amazing support from Te Whatu Ora, and social work organisations through ICU & NICU.
Friday 2nd May Mikaere had a appointment with his paediatrician Deb, dietician Ally and surgical GP all was good except slight weight drop but steady growth, the dietician requested I try formula which I did Monday 5th unfortunately after a tablespoon he broke out badly around the mouth within minutes we were rushed to the doctors & monitored. Likely allergies to dairy or lactose intolerance another update in 3-4 weeks with dietician Paula working beside us with baby she also gave us a fat substitute for baby to gain some weight which he is taking well. Overall baby is ok & has also started kohanga with papa 2hrs a week weaning in & he absolutely loves it.
He is getting stronger able to hold his head very well, likes to kick and punch around. We are now learning to roll.
I have added a photo of his reaction post formula.
Talk soon whanau,
Lainz
