It's Official

Well there's not too much to report again today really.

They were going to try to increase Lilian's feeds from around 120ml a day to 180ml but she has been a little sick after a few feeds so they're not going to push her. Other than that she is much the same as yesterday, tiny little bits of progress and slightly wobbly stats (not jumping around so nothing to worry about, but could be more stable).

Beautiful Lilian fully awake and looking at Mummy!

Jacob is well too. The Canulla in his hand has finally 'gone' although unfortunately it went during a blood transfusion so he very nearly ended up with a second blood bath! Luckily they caught it early so that didn't happen. So he now has a hand free! (His longline is in the other hand / arm), and his new Cannula is in his foot. His blood saturation levels drop slightly every now and then for no apparent reason but he quickly recovers them, which is slowing the progress with him but it's better than a lot of things that could be happening right now.

Look Mummy, free hand....

Jacob's feeds have been increased to 1.3ml every hour! Yay proper feeds! So we just need to see how he goes with that, hopefully he can tolerate them. His stoma has been working well so far so it looks like he is digesting the milk.

Today Mummy got to register Jacob's and Lilian's birth so they are now all official!
