........I was being raced down to the Labour Ward as my contractions had restarted, and the Neonatal staff had all started assembling themselves and their equipment ready for Lilian and Jacob's birth (they were stood down shortly after when my contractions stopped AGAIN!).
On the one hand the time has gone very quickly, on the other, i don't remember living anywhere but the hospital!
Jacob has progressed back onto Flat CPAP (cuddles with Daddy yesterday clearly was all the push he needed), and we are really pleased with him. Fingers crossed he continues to remember to breathe for himself and he should be ok to continue as he is.
It has been decided that Jacob's medicines (vitamins, bowel medicine, caffeine, sodium, etc) should now be given via his TPN bag rather than orally as the Surgeons think this will help reduce his Stoma losses. There is still no news though on when they might want to reverse his Stoma.
Lilian has continued as she normally does. After a couple of dodgy gas results the Registrar decided to put Lilian back on Flat CPAP. The Nurse looking after Lilian was surprised that this decision was taken as the gas result is in line with Lilian's other results and her saturation levels had been fine all day. We're hoping that this means she will be back on High Flow soon though.
