Well i feel like i'm living the same day over and over at the moment, but i shouldn't complain, as at least we're not going backwards .
The Babies have been largely stable over night, they've both had a couple of little niggles, but nothing major to be concerned about.
Lilian is believed to have a chest infection based on a blood test that the Doctor's did. The bloods themselves are inconclusive so we need to wait for the cultures to be certain, but the blood did seem to suggest an issue so Lilian has been put back on antibiotics for now. They increased Lilian's feed through the night to 150ml a day, and as she is tolerating it with no further issues with being sick, they are increasing the feeds to 165ml, and so long as this continues well she will go up to 180ml tomorrow.
Jacob is having a few less than great results on his gases, and every now and then his blood saturation levels drop for no apparent reason but other than that he is ok. They are looking to up his feeds slightly today as he seems to be tolerating what he has had so far and his stoma is functioning well.
Evening update:
Both Jacob and Lilian were both doing well so the consultant suggested we do another Kangaroo Care. Jacob got a nice 2 hour cuddle with Mummy and looked like he'd settled himself in for the night! Unfortunately he did need to go back in his incubator though. Hopefully Lilian will get her turn soon.
No pictures today.....
