I can't help either, other than to say having a premmie is hard enough. DD1 was born at 34 weeks too so I know what that part is like. I hope someone here can help with the rhseus disease.

Maybe if you put the condition is the thread title, you might get someone...

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the condition either. But big hugs to you
