Another Pleasing Day

Not much to report again today as both Jacob and Lilian have been stable overnight. Jacob had a slight issue with needing more oxygen when lay on one side so they did an x-ray to check there was nothing serious causing it. They found that his ventilator tube had just slipped slightly meaning he could breathe easier facing one way, rather than the other. They have now pulled the tube back slightly and the oxygen levels have remained very good regardless of which side he is lying so that's all resolved!

Jacob keeping it chilled showing no signs of breathing issues

Lilian has been very good and not caused / had any issues overnight or during the day today. She's been happily wriggling away in her incubator and grabbing onto all the wires and tubes as if to tell us she's ready to go it alone! (A little too soon yet, but great to see that she's keen!).

Lilian getting ready for a big kick, HiiiiYA!
After these few good days it is very easy to forget just how fragile and vulnerable they are, but for the time being; long may it continue!
