     Latest update:

    I had one cuddle yesterday but her breathing went up so much when they moved her they didn't want to do it again in a hurry. Gave her a feed half an hour ago so I held her then. They say they will take the line out of her tummy button and move her into a normal cot this afternoon. She can leave the neo natal unit once shes got rid of the iv... That will probably be tomorrow if the blood results show no infection and if she copes ok with feeds today, without her breathing being too badly affected. otherwise i guess she has to keep the iv until the bug is cleared or until they don't need it to give her fluids anymore. Best case scenario is i get her back with me tomorrow but i dare not get my hopes up again.

     Send the bug here, and I'll show it the idog 2X4 !     Seriously, praying for a quick resolution to this, and for a healthy baby ready to meet her big brother William!

    GREAT NEWS!  From Chuffy:

    Update, she's off the drip, feeding well and has been breathing normal air with no extra oxygen for 24hrs so they can stop monitoring... which means the wires are coming off and she's coming back to my ward to demand feed overnight. She will need to go back in the morning for review and official discharge if she is well enough. She'll be here in a few minutes :-)

    Looks like the famous 2x4 did its job tonight! Smile
