Up to this point, baby Tran Gau has good weight gain. |
Mr. Ha said: "After being discharged from the hospital, luckily Tran Gau was breastfed by his mother's colleague so he could feel his mother's love."
At the beginning of the conversation with Tran Gau’s father, the father’s voice was filled with great happiness. Mr. Ha had many mixed emotions, sometimes happy, sometimes sad: “Gau is already 2.3kg.
Since the day of discharge, the baby has been given favorable conditions to stay at the Ministry of Public Security's guest house. The doctors at the Central Maternity Hospital and the Central Children's Hospital monitor his health. The doctors said that his health is developing well, but because he was born prematurely, Gau's eyes will need special monitoring.
While laughing and sharing the joy of being with baby Gau, Mr. Ha suddenly lowered his voice. "I am very happy to be with my child, but honestly, I am not completely satisfied. I still worry a lot."
Mr. Ha said that before taking his child home, the hospital's doctors and nurses had instructed him and his family on how to hold and bathe the child, so he was less confused. Luckily, Mr. Ha has two older sisters, his paternal and maternal grandmothers who also help take care of the child.

Assessing the health progress of Gau, Meritorious Doctor Nguyen Ngoc Loi - Director of the Premature Birth Care Center of the Central Obstetrics Hospital said that during the monitoring process, Gau's respiratory system is normal. Her eyes and hearing are currently normal. The hospital will continue to examine her eyes and ears according to the eye and ear examination schedule for premature babies.
Previously, Lieutenant Dau Thi Huyen Tram was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer when she was 19 weeks pregnant. She resolutely refused treatment in the hope that her baby would grow bigger every day.
On July 10, nearly 20 doctors from the Central Maternity Hospital and the Central Cancer Hospital performed a cesarean section for Ms. Tram when she showed signs of severe respiratory failure. If the cesarean section was not performed immediately, the lives of both mother and child would be in danger.
The baby cried out at 29 weeks and was named Gau by his parents at home.
Eleven days after giving birth, Ms. Tram was taken by doctors from K Hospital to the Central Maternity Hospital to visit her child... This was also the last time mother and child met each other./.
