We are over the moon to hear that both Jacob and Lilian have been very stable and that their oxygen has been reduced down - Jacob is now on the level of oxygen he was on before his surgery so he is certainly feeling a lot better!
We've been able to help clean Jacob's Stoma as part of his 'Cares' which is a little daunting since you're cleaning his gut sticking out of his belly! It's looking pretty healthy (it's red/pink, compared to the end looking black as it did a few days ago) so everyone seems pleased with it. The Docs are checking with the surgeons if they can finish his antibiotics completely, but there is one that he has finished today so he's coming down on his drug intake - seems to be enjoying his morphine though so he's not in a hurry to give that up!
Lilian has been a very good girl today too - we even seem to have found a comfortable position for her on her left side which stops her from wriggling around so much. The consultant advised us on ward rounds that they expect to take out her lines into her belly button tomorrow as she is doing well enough to not need them anymore.
