Just a quick one today...
We still haven't been able to transfer due to the lack of beds in our local hospital, but the Senior Consultant here reassured us that they are doing all they can to get us moving.
Jacob and Lilian have far more patience for a move than Mummy and Daddy and are both doing extremely well. Jacob and Lilian are both on High Flow and have had the amount of oxygen they are in reduced. Both are finding it easier to spend longer periods of time on their backs, as their lungs are now stronger and are able to work against gravity much more effectively!
They both had their first immunisations yesterday - these are due at 2 months of age but can be held off for preterm babies that are unwell. Since Jacob and Lilian are doing so well, the Doctor's decided they should have the immunisations as planned. Their future immunisations will be reviewed when they are due. They both had a little grumble during the jabs but recovered quickly - tough little cookies!!
Jacob's Surgeon visited Jacob and Mummy yesterday to review Jacob's Stoma, which he was pleased with. He confirmed the message we had received that Jacob can transfer hospitals was correct, but has asked for Jacob to return here for his reversal Surgery as the Surgical team already know him and would like to complete the Surgery themselves. Mummy and Daddy have the final say as to whether Jacob returns here or goes to the Specialist hospital in our local area for his Surgery, but we believe Jacob would benefit from having the same Surgical team.
