Back to work again for me today and Lisa got a lift in to hospital with our good friend Jonny Layzell who works in Bristol. Olivia was doing well and the sedation was gradually wearing off but no real movements yet. Lisa changed her first nappy and there was a little bit of pooh in it which was a great sign as it meant Olivia's bowel was starting to work.
I got a picture message from Lisa with Olivia's little eyes open and my heart melted. Her morphine levels were being reduced as was gradually needing less and less ventilation. When I arrived after work she was still very groggy but she was slowly coming round. The doctors were pleased with her progress but slightly concerned with the amount of fluid that they were draining from her stomach via her nose. This gunk was bright green with lumps and should normally be processed in her bowel and then poohed out but because her intestines were so sore and agitated this was slow going.
