Baby Oyewusi was admitted at neonatal unit of Bowen Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso on 9th January 2020. We're spending close to 16k on oxygen per day and there is no end in sight Do you know any baby who survived this problem? Also, help us with medical bills. 1 Like 2 Shares |

OMG... times like this I really wish I were a doctor. Please can someone help with information. I can't bear seeing babies in such conditions. I just read online that the babies should pass the meconium out in stool usually within 24hrs to 48hrs. https://www.verywellfamily.com/babies-and-meconium-stools-2634635 I can see from your receipts it's more than 2 days. Please what's the doctor saying? 1 Like |

You can ask for a transfer to a government teaching hospital, it may be cheaper |

Beosten:Hello sir, this is not encouraging. Why not try purchasing an oxygen concentrator (less than 5Litres capacity for a baby), that should reduce or even take away this daily bill of 16k. My sis is recovering from lung cancer and is on chemotherapy now, but for a long time before now, she had being relying on artificial oxygen using her concentrator (it is moveable) because her lungs were unable to take in enough air. Talk to your doctor to know if he recommends it, or if your baby's need is restricted to the one being provided at the hospital. You can get the equipment from PEKAMOL in Lagos. Although we didn't get hers from them due to urgency, but they are closer to you and their customer service is good. 4 Likes |
Re: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome: Help My Baby by crackkhaus: 11:30pm On Jan 17, 2020 |
Beosten:Hmmmm,what's the time frame for recovery? |
Re: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome: Help My Baby by Beosten(m): 3:32am On Jan 18, 2020 |
crackkhaus: The size of movable cylinder they are using for the oxygen is about 10kg and costs 8k if filled to capacity. About two cylinders used daily. If not filled to capacity, it costs 6k. They said that big cylinder of oxygen (the kind of cylinder those street gas reseller use) cost 20k but not movable in the ward. |
Re: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome: Help My Baby by Beosten(m): 3:34am On Jan 18, 2020 |
crackkhaus: No time frame given. She recovers and get worse at intervals |
Re: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome: Help My Baby by crackkhaus: 8:19am On Jan 18, 2020 |
Beosten:Okay, what I am suggesting is an Oxygen concentrator, it's not a cylinder. It is a machine that is connected to electricity when in one position, or for some models, can be charged and moved around...its like a suitcase, some look like a backpack. All you have to do is continue topping up the water in the tank which filters the oxygen from the compressor - no extra costs after you buy it. Bro, I can assure you that it is much more economical to use concentrators than allowing the hospital continue to milk you. My sis was charged 80k every day just for the oxygen and a life support monitor, this was minus other bills like medications & injections, so I understand what you're going through. The first picture is exactly the type we ended up buying at about 300k, she needed something big enough as only one of her lungs was functional. The second picture is what you could get, much smaller and definitely a lot cheaper...also good enough for a baby. 5 Likes

Beosten:It seems quite serious then. I hope she gets better as soon as possible. You should talk to the doctor about the suggestion I made. There are also oxygen saturator devices that cost as little as 30k but they work with a medication that dissolves mucus in the respiratory tract. This is still better than paying what you're paying at the moment. You need alternative options. 1 Like |

crackkhaus: How much is the 2nd one in the pictures? |
Re: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome: Help My Baby by crackkhaus: 8:59am On Jan 18, 2020 |
Beosten:I don't expect it to be more than 100k at most. You may have to contact a company selling it. To be on a safer side and be sure you're getting a good deal, ask your doctor to suggest a place you can get it. He/she can even contact them on your behalf. They have knowledge of these things and who to talk to. 3 Likes |

They want us to be patient and that oxygen is the immediate necessity. Good morning, how is she doing ? Is she responding to her environment, light, touch etc. Patience ? It is well. Immediate necessity ? What happens on the long run ? Did she cry at birth ? May the great physician do what no man can do in her life, heal her completely in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. She is in my prayers. 2 Likes |

Wish your baby quick recovery. Basically what she has is pneumonia caused by inhaling amniotic fluid and that first stool babies usually have in their first few days of life. It is serious but not often fatal. Fingers crossed that she gets better very very soon. 4 Likes |
Re: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome: Help My Baby by Beosten(m): 6:29pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
cococandy: Thank you, ma. They have been administering antibiotics since 9th January. They used Fortum injection and one other antibiotic I can't remember. Her improvement has been intermittent. So they switched to ciprofloxaxin yesterday. |
