Many thanks.
Your baby needs multidisciplinary team approach in NICU care.
1.medication to control sciezers
2.cpap machine breathing is good option if any problem then tracheostomy.
3.Nutitional support by TPN or Gastrostomy button low profile tube feeding.
4.occupational therapy for limbs exercises.
5.Respiratory therapist
I hope this combined approach will make your baby life much better.
